NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Alger Aggressive Growth (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on December 2, 1994.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Alger Aggressive Growth to TA IDEX Alger Aggressive Growth.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Directed brokerage: 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 Directed Brokerage Program. A Directed Brokerage 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. Directed commissions during the period ended April 30, 2004, of $172 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $3 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and

NOTE  1–(continued)

 

records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments.

 

During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

 

  accounts opened within the preceding 24 months

 

  accounts with an active monthly Automatic Investment Plan ($50 (not in thousands) minimum per fund)

 

  accounts owned by an individual which, when combined by social security number, have a balance of $5 or more

 

  accounts owned by individuals in the same household (by address) that have a combined balance of $5 or more

 

  UTMA/UGMA accounts

 

  Fiduciary accounts

 

  B-share accounts whose shares have started to convert to A-shares accounts (as long as combined value of both accounts is at least $1)

 

For the period ended April 30, 2004, this fee totaled $17. These fees are included in Paid in Capital in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

 

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. Dividend income 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.

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 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 treatments 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  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX American Century International (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on February 1, 1997.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX American Century International to TA IDEX American Century International.

 

On March 1, 2003, the Fund acquired all the net assets of IDEX Gabelli Global Growth pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by shareholders of IDEX Gabelli Growth on February 12, 2003. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 5,476 shares of the Fund for the 6,190 shares of IDEX Gabelli Growth outstanding on February 28, 2003. IDEX Gabelli Global Growth’s net assets at that date ($34,573), including ($10,073) of unrealized depreciation, were combined with those of the Fund. Proceeds in connection with the acquisition were as follows:

 

    Shares

   Amount

Proceeds in connection with the acquisition

      

Class A

  1,824    $ 11,819

Class B

  2,449      15,256

Class C

  7      43

Class C2

  809      5,043

Class M

  387      2,412
        

         $ 34,573
        

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

 

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Foreign securities generally are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using closing exchange rates. Many foreign securities markets are open for trading at times when the U.S. markets are closed for trading, and many foreign securities markets close for trading before the close of the NYSE. The value of foreign securities may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is unable to purchase or redeem shares. 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.” If market quotations are not readily available, and the impact of such a significant market event materially affects the net asset value per share of the Fund, an affected portfolio security will be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee. Factors that may be considered to

value foreign securities at fair market value may include, among

others: the value of other securities traded on other markets, foreign currency exchange activity and the trading of financial products tied to foreign securities.

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

The Fund values its investment securities at fair value based upon procedures approved by the Board of Trustees on days when significant events occur after the close of the principal exchange on which the securities are traded, and as a result, are expected to materially affect the value of investments.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $7 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments. During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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, including unanticipated movements in exchange currency rates, the degree of government supervision and regulation of security markets, and the possibility of political or economic instability.

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 closed a realized gain or loss is incurred. Risks may arise from changes in 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, 2004, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

 

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

 

  accounts opened within the preceding 24 months

 

  accounts with an active monthly Automatic Investment Plan ($50 (not in thousands) minimum per fund)

 

  accounts owned by an individual which, when combined by social security number, have a balance of $5 or more

 

  accounts owned by individuals in the same household (by address) that have a combined balance of $5 or more

 

  UTMA/UGMA accounts

 

  Fiduciary accounts

 

  B-share accounts whose shares have started to convert to A-shares accounts (as long as combined value of both accounts is at least $1)

 

For the period ended April 30, 2004, this fee totaled $1. These fees are included in Paid in Capital in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

 

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  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX American Century Large Company Value (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on March 1, 2000.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX American Century Income and Growth to TA IDEX American Century Large Company Value.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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 by independent pricing services; 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 also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Securities Lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned less than $1 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loan of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments.

 

During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value, IBT marks to market securities

loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 value of its shares may fluctuate more widely than the value of shares of a fund that invests in a broad range of industries.

 

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 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.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

 

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

 

  accounts opened within the preceding 24 months

 

  accounts with an active monthly Automatic Investment Plan ($50 (not in thousands) minimum per fund)

 

  accounts owned by an individual which, when combined by social security number, have a balance of $5 or more
  accounts owned by individuals in the same household (by address) that have a combined balance of $5 or more

 

  UTMA/UGMA accounts

 

  Fiduciary accounts

 

  B-share accounts whose shares have started to convert to A-shares accounts (as long as combined value of both accounts is at least $1)

 

For the period ended April 30, 2004, this fee totaled $1. These fees are included in Paid in Capital in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

 

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  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Asset Allocation–Conservative Portfolio (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on March 1, 2002.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Asset Allocation–Conservative Portfolio to TA IDEX Asset Allocation–Conservative Portfolio.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses that the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

 

Security valuations: The Fund’s investments are valued at the net asset values of the underlying portfolios of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds. The net asset values of the underlying portfolios are determined at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. eastern time) on the valuation date.

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification basis. Interest income, including accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis commencing on the settlement date.

 

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.

Class M

   0.55%

 

In addition, the underlying Funds’ Class A shares in which the Fund invests impose a 0.35% 12b-1 fee. To avoid duplication of 12b-1 fees, each class of fund shares of the Fund has reduced the 12b-1 fees by the amount of the underlying funds’ Class A 12b-1 fees.

 

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.

Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of a percentage of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. These deferred amounts may be invested in any Transamerica IDEX Mutual Fund. At April 30, 2004, the value of invested plan amount was $5. Invested plan amounts and the total liability for deferred compensation to the Trustees under the Plan at April 30, 2004, are included in Net assets in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

(unaudited)

 

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Asset Allocation–Growth Portfolio (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on March 1, 2002.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Asset Allocation–Growth Portfolio to TA IDEX Asset Allocation–Growth Portfolio.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations, warranties, which 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 or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

See the Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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, disclosures. The following policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations, expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any,, expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees, expenses than the previous Class L shares. Income, non-class specific expenses, realized, unrealized gains, 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: The Fund’s investments are valued at the net asset values of the underlying portfolios of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds. The net asset values of the underlying portfolios are determined at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. eastern time) on the valuation date.

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Security transactions, investment income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Security gains, losses are calculated on the specific identification basis. Interest income, including accretion of discounts, amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis commencing on the settlement date.

 

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

In addition, the underlying Funds’ Class A shares in which the Fund invests impose a 0.35% 12b-1 fee. To avoid duplication of 12b-1 fees, each class of fund shares of the Fund has reduced the 12b-1 fees by the amount of the underlying funds’ Class A 12b-1 fees.

(unaudited)

 

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Asset Allocation–Moderate Portfolio (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on March 1, 2002.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Asset Allocation–Moderate Portfolio to TA IDEX Asset Allocation–Moderate Portfolio.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

 

Security valuations: The Fund’s investments are valued at the net asset values of the underlying portfolios of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds. The net asset values of the underlying portfolios are determined at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. eastern time) on the valuation date.

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification basis. Interest income, including accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis commencing on the settlement date.

 

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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE  2–(continued)

 

ATFA has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and 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 limitations 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 subject to recapture at April 30, 2004.

 

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 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

   N/A

Class B

   0.65%

Class C

   0.65%

Class C2

   0.65%

Class M

   0.55%

 

In addition, the underlying Funds’ Class A shares in which the Fund invests impose a 0.35% 12b-1 fee. To avoid duplication of 12b-1 fees, each class of fund shares of the Fund has reduced the 12b-1 fees by the amount of the underlying funds’ Class A 12b-1 fees.

 

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 M shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, M and certain A share redemptions. For the period ended April 30, 2004, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

 

Received by Underwriter

   $ 2,402

Retained by Underwriter

     381

Contingent Deferred Sales Charges

     351

 

Administrative services: The Fund has entered into an agreement with ATFS for financial and legal fund administration services, which includes such items as compliance, expenses, financial statements and other reporting, distributions, tax returns, prospectus preparation, board of trustees meeting support, and other legal matters. The Legal fees on the Statement of Operations are for fees paid to external legal

counsel. The Fund paid ATFS $47 for the period ended April 30, 2004.

Transfer agent fees: The Fund paid ATIS $221 for the period ended April 30, 2004.

 

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible Fund Trustee may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (“the Plan”). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of a percentage of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. These deferred amounts may be invested in any Transamerica IDEX Fund. At April 30, 2004, the value of invested plan amount was $10. Invested plan amounts and the total liability for deferred compensation to the Trustees under the Plan at April 30, 2004, are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

NOTE  3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

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 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 treatments 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:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Asset Allocation–Moderate Growth Portfolio (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on March 1, 2002.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Asset Allocation–Moderate Growth Portfolio to TA IDEX Asset Allocation–Moderate Growth Portfolio.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: The Fund’s investments are valued at the net asset values of the underlying portfolios of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds. The net asset values of the underlying portfolios are determined at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. eastern time) on the valuation date.

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification basis. Interest income, including accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis commencing on the settlement date.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

 

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

 

  accounts opened within the preceding 24 months

 

  accounts with an active monthly Automatic Investment Plan ($50 (not in thousands) minimum per fund)

 

  accounts owned by an individual which, when combined by social security number, have a balance of $5 or more

 

  accounts owned by individuals in the same household (by address) that have a combined balance of $5 or more

 

  UTMA/UGMA accounts

 

  Fiduciary accounts

 

  B-share accounts whose shares have started to convert to A-shares accounts (as long as combined value of both accounts is at least $1)

 

For the period ended April 30, 2004, this fee totaled less than $1. These fees are included in Paid in Capital in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

 

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.

In addition, the underlying Funds’ Class A shares in which the Fund invests impose a 0.35% 12b-1 fee. To avoid duplication of 12b-1 fees, each class of fund shares of the Fund has reduced the 12b-1 fees by the amount of the underlying funds’ Class A 12b-1 fees.

 

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 M shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, M and certain A share redemptions. For the period ended April 30, 2004, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

 

Received by Underwriter

   $ 4,356

Retained by Underwriter

     670

Contingent Deferred Sales Charges

Administrative services: The Fund has entered into an agreement with ATFS for financial and legal fund administration services, which includes such items as compliance, expenses, financial statements and other reporting, distributions, tax returns, prospectus preparation, board of trustees meeting support, and other legal matters. The Legal fees on the Statement of Operations are for fees paid to external legal counsel. The Fund paid ATFS $56 for the period ended April 30, 2004.

 

Transfer agent fees: The Fund paid ATIS $300 for the period ended April 30, 2004.

 

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible Fund Trustee may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (“the Plan”). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of a percentage of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. These deferred amounts may be invested in any Transamerica IDEX Fund. At April 30, 2004, the value of invested plan amount was $11. Invested plan amounts and the total liability for deferred compensation to the Trustees under the Plan at April 30, 2004, are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Clarion Real Estate Securities (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on March 1, 2003.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Clarion Real Estate Securities to TA IDEX Clarion Real Estate Securities.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Directed brokerage: 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 Directed Brokerage Program. A Directed Brokerage 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. Directed commissions during the period ended April 30, 2004, of $31 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $1 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and

records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments. During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 value of its shares may fluctuate more widely than the value of shares of a fund that invests in a broad range of industries.

 

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 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.

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  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Federated Tax Exempt (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on April 1, 1985.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Federated Tax Exempt to TA IDEX Federated Tax Exempt.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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 by independent pricing services; 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 also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification basis. Interest income, including accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis commencing on the settlement date.

 

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, 2004, are listed in the Schedule of Investments. The variation margin payable is included in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Variation margin payable represents the additional payments due in order to maintain the equity account at the required margin level.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

 

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

 

  accounts opened within the preceding 24 months

 

  accounts with an active monthly Automatic Investment Plan ($50 (not in thousands) minimum per fund)

There are no amounts subject to recapture at April 30, 2004.

 

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 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:

The Legal fees on the Statement of Operations are for fees paid to external legal counsel. The Fund paid ATFS $9 for the period ended April 30, 2004.

 

Transfer agent fees: The Fund paid ATIS $22 for the period ended April 30, 2004.

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Great Companies–AmericaSM (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on July 14, 2000. The Fund is “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Great Companies–AmericaSM to TA IDEX Great Companies–AmericaSM.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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 by independent pricing services; 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 also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $1 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain in the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments. During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Great Companies–TechnologySM (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on July 14, 2000. The fund is “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Great Companies–TechnologySM to TA IDEX Great Companies–TechnolgySM.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $2 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments.

NOTE  1–(continued)

 

During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

 

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

 

  accounts opened within the preceding 24 months

 

  accounts with an active monthly Automatic Investment Plan ($50 (not in thousands) minimum per fund)

 

  accounts owned by an individual which, when combined by social security number, have a balance of $5 or more

 

  accounts owned by individuals in the same household (by address) that have a combined balance of $5 or more

 

  UTMA/UGMA accounts

 

  Fiduciary accounts
  B-share accounts whose shares have started to convert to A-shares accounts (as long as combined value of both accounts is at least $1)

 

For the period ended April 30, 2004, this fee totaled $1. These fees are included in Paid in Capital in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

 

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.

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Janus Balanced (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on December 2, 1994.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Janus Balanced to TA IDEX Janus Balanced.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Foreign securities generally are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using closing exchange rates. Many foreign securities markets are open for trading at times when the U.S. markets are closed for trading, and many foreign securities markets close for trading before the close of the NYSE. The value of foreign securities may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is unable to purchase or redeem shares. 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.” If market quotations are not readily available, and the impact of such a significant market event materially affects the net asset value per share of the Fund, an affected portfolio security will be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee. Factors that may be considered to value foreign securities at fair market value may include, among others: the value of other securities traded on other markets, foreign currency exchange activity and the trading of financial products tied to foreign securities.

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

The Fund values its investment securities at fair value based upon procedures approved by the Board of Trustees on day when significant events occur after the close of the principal exchange on which the securities are traded, and as a result, are expected to materially affect the value of investments.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

NOTE  1–(continued)

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Directed brokerage: 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 Directed Brokerage Program. A Directed Brokerage 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. Directed commissions during the period ended April 30, 2004, of $53 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $14 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments.

 

During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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, including unanticipated movements in exchange currency rates, the degree of government supervision and regulation of security markets, and the possibility of political or economic instability.

 

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 closed 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, 2004, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Janus Global (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on October 1, 1992.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Janus Global to TA IDEX Janus Global.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Foreign securities generally are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using closing exchange rates. Many foreign securities markets are open for trading at times when the U.S. markets are closed for trading, and many foreign securities markets close for trading before the close of the NYSE. The value of foreign securities may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is unable to purchase or redeem shares. 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.” If market quotations are not readily available, and the impact of such a significant market event materially affects the net asset value per share of the Fund, an affected portfolio security will be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee. Factors that may be considered to value foreign securities at fair market value may include, among others: the value of other securities traded on other markets, foreign currency exchange activity and the trading of financial products tied to foreign securities.

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

The Fund values its investment securities at fair value based upon procedures approved by the Board of Trustees on day when significant events occur after the close of the principal exchange on which the securities are traded, and as a result, are expected to materially affect the value of investments.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

NOTE  1–(continued)

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Directed brokerage: 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 Directed Brokerage Program. A Directed Brokerage 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. Directed commissions during the period ended April 30, 2004, of $178 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $19 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments. During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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, including unanticipated movements in exchange currency rates, the degree of government supervision and regulation of security markets, and the possibility of political or economic instability.

 

Foreign capital gains taxes: The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests, with respect to its investment 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 Fund accrues 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.

NOTE  1–(continued)

 

The Fund’s investments in India are subject to a 30% governmental short-term capital gains tax. The Indian government has elected to waive the long-term capital gains tax of 10% on equities securities held for longer than one year. This waiver of tax is effective through March of 2007. Such taxes are due upon sale of individual securities. The Fund accrues for taxes on the capital gains throughout the holding period of the underlying securities. As of April 30, 2004, short-term capital gains tax of $188 would have been realized if all the India securities were sold.

 

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 closed 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, 2004, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Janus Growth (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on May 8, 1986.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Janus Growth to TA IDEX Janus Growth.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers six classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class T shares are not available to new investors. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Foreign securities generally are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using closing exchange rates. Many foreign securities markets are open for trading at times when the U.S. markets are closed for trading, and many foreign securities markets close for trading before the close of the NYSE. The value of foreign securities may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is unable to purchase or redeem shares. 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.” If market quotations are not readily available, and the impact of such a significant market event materially affects the net asset value per share of the Fund, an affected portfolio security will be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee. Factors that may be considered to value foreign securities at fair market value may include, among others: the value of other securities traded on other markets, foreign currency exchange activity and the trading of financial products tied to foreign securities.

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Directed brokerage: 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 Directed Brokerage Program. A Directed Brokerage 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. Directed commissions during the period ended April 30, 2004, of $173 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $41 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments. During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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, including unanticipated movements in exchange currency rates, the degree of government supervision and regulation of security markets, and the possibility of political or economic instability.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

 

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

 

  accounts opened within the preceding 24 months

 

  accounts with an active monthly Automatic Investment Plan ($50 (not in thousands) minimum per fund)

 

  accounts owned by an individual which, when combined by social security number, have a balance of $5 or more

 

  accounts owned by individuals in the same household (by address) that have a combined balance of $5 or more

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Janus Growth & Income (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on December 15, 2000.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Janus Growth & Income to TA IDEX Janus Growth & Income.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Foreign securities generally are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using closing exchange rates. Many foreign securities markets are open for trading at times when the U.S. markets are closed for trading, and many foreign securities markets close for trading before the close of the NYSE. The value of foreign securities may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is unable to purchase or redeem shares. 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.” If market quotations are not readily available, and the impact of such a significant market event materially affects the net asset value per share of the Fund, an affected portfolio security will be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee. Factors that may be considered to value foreign securities at fair market value may include, among others: the value of other securities traded on other markets, foreign currency exchange activity and the trading of financial products tied to foreign securities.

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

The Fund values its investment securities at fair value based upon procedures approved by the Board of Trustees on day when significant events occur after the close of the principal exchange on which the securities are traded, and as a result, are expected to materially affect the value of investments.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Directed brokerage: 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 Directed Brokerage Program. A Directed Brokerage 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. Directed commissions during the period ended April 30, 2004, of $45 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned less than $1 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments.

 

During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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, including unanticipated movements in exchange currency rates, the degree of government supervision and regulation of security markets, and the possibility of political or economic instability.

 

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 closed 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, 2004, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Jennison Equity Opportunity (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on February 1, 1996.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Jennison Equity Opportunity to TA IDEX Jennison Growth.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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 by independent pricing services; 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 and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using closing exchange rates. Many foreign securities markets are open for trading at times when the U.S. markets are closed for trading, and many foreign securities markets close for trading before the close of the NYSE. The value of foreign securities may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is unable to purchase or redeem shares. 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.” If market quotations are not readily available, and the impact of such a significant market event materially affects the net asset value per share of the Fund, an affected portfolio security will be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee. Factors that may be considered to value foreign securities at fair market value may include, among others: the value of other securities traded on other markets, foreign currency exchange activity and the trading of financial products tied to foreign securities.

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Directed brokerage: 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 Directed Brokerage Program. A Directed Brokerage 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

NOTE  1–(continued)

 

Mutual Funds, or by any other party. Directed commissions during the period ended April 30, 2004, of $12 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $4 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain in the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments. During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Repurchase Agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

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 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, including unanticipated movements in exchange currency rates, the degree of government supervision and regulation of security markets, and the possibility of political or economic instability.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

 

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

If total fund expenses fall below the annual expense limitations 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 subject to recapture at April 30, 2004.

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX LKCM Strategic Total Return (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on December 2, 1994.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX LKCM Strategic Total Return to TA IDEX LKCM Strategic Total Return.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Directed brokerage: 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 Directed Brokerage Program. A Directed Brokerage 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. Directed commissions during the period ended April 30, 2004, of $7 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned less than $1 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on

the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments.

 

During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

 

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

 

  accounts opened within the preceding 24 months
  accounts with an active monthly Automatic Investment Plan ($50 (not in thousands) minimum per fund)

 

  accounts owned by an individual which, when combined by social security number, have a balance of $5 or more

 

  accounts owned by individuals in the same household (by address) that have a combined balance of $5 or more

 

  UTMA/UGMA accounts

 

  Fiduciary accounts

 

  B-share accounts whose shares have started to convert to A-shares accounts (as long as combined value of both accounts is at least $1)

 

For the period ended April 30, 2004, this fee totaled $3. These fees are included in Paid in Capital in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

 

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  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Marsico Growth (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on March 1, 1999.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Marsico Growth to TA IDEX Marsico Growth.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Foreign securities generally are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using closing exchange rates. Many foreign securities markets are open for trading at times when the U.S. markets are closed for trading, and many foreign securities markets close for trading before the close of the NYSE. The value of foreign securities may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is unable to purchase or redeem shares. 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.” If market quotations are not readily available, and the impact of such a significant market event materially affects the net asset value per share of the Fund, an affected portfolio security will be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee. Factors that may be considered to value foreign securities at fair market value may include, among others: the value of other securities traded on other markets, foreign currency exchange activity and the trading of financial products tied to foreign securities.

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

The Fund values its investment securities at fair value based upon procedures approved by the Board of Trustees on day when significant events occur after the close of the principal exchange on which the securities are traded, and as a result, are expected to materially affect the value of investments.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

NOTE  1–(continued)

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Directed brokerage: 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 Directed Brokerage Program. A Directed Brokerage 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. Directed commissions during the period ended April 30, 2004, of $10 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned less than $1 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments.

 

During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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, including unanticipated movements in exchange currency rates, the degree of government supervision and regulation of security markets, and the possibility of political or economic instability.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

 

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

 

  accounts opened within the preceding 24 months

 

  accounts with an active monthly Automatic Investment Plan ($50 (not in thousands) minimum per fund)

These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for items including, but not limited to, wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX PBHG Mid Cap Growth (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on March 1, 1999.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX PBHG Mid Cap Growth to TA IDEX PBHG Mid Cap Growth.

 

On March 1, 2003, the Fund acquired all the net assets of IDEX Munder Net50 and IDEX PBHG Technology & Communications pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by shareholders of IDEX Munder Net50 and IDEX PBHG Technology & Communication on February 12, 2003. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 2,355 shares of the Fund for the 332 shares of IDEX Munder Net50 and for the 16,322 shares of IDEX PBHG Technology & Communications outstanding on February 28, 2003. IDEX Munder Net50 and IDEX PBHG Technology & Communications’ net assets at that date ($934 and $14,939, respectively), including ($38 and $325, respectively) unrealized depreciation, were combined with those of the Fund. Proceeds in connection with the acquisition were as follows:

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

 

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

NOTE  1–(continued)

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Directed brokerage: 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 Directed Brokerage Program. A Directed Brokerage 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. Directed commissions during the period ended April 30, 2004, of $5 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $3 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments. During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

 

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

 

  accounts opened within the preceding 24 months

 

  accounts with an active monthly Automatic Investment Plan ($50 (not in thousands) minimum per fund)

 

  accounts owned by an individual which, when combined by social security number, have a balance of $5 or more

 

  accounts owned by individuals in the same household (by address) that have a combined balance of $5 or more

 

  UTMA/UGMA accounts

 

  Fiduciary accounts

 

  B-share accounts whose shares have started to convert to A-shares accounts (as long as combined value of both accounts is at least $1)

 

For the period ended April 30, 2004, this fee totaled $9. These fees are included in Paid in Capital in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

 

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  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX PIMCO Real Return TIPS (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on March 1, 2003.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX PIMCO Real Return TIPS to TA IDEX PIMCO Real Return TIPS.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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 by independent pricing services; 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 also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

The Fund values its investment securities at fair value based upon procedures approved by the Board of Trustees on day when significant events occur after the close of the principal exchange on which the securities are traded, and as a result, are expected to materially affect the value of investments.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification basis. 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 and 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, including unanticipated movements in exchange currency rates, the degree of government supervision and regulation of security markets, and the possibility of political or economic instability.

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 closed 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 4, 2004, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

 

Swap agreements: The Fund may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Fund may enter into interest rate and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. 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 Fund may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Fund 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.

 

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 interest income on the Statement of Operations.

 

Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, 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. Open Swap Agreements at April 30, 2004, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

Futures, options and swaptions contracts. The Fund may enter into futures and/or options 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. Option contracts 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 futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in value of the securities held and the prices of futures contracts and options; the possibility of an illiquid market and inability of the counterparty to meet the contract 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. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written.

 

The Fund is authorized to write swaption contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and to enhance portfolio yield. Swaption contracts written by the Fund represents 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 fixed 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 portfolio as realized gains from written options. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on affecting a closing purchase transaction is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase, as a realized loss.

 

Entering into a swaption contract involves, to varying degrees, the elements of credit, market and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, associated with both option contracts and swap contracts. To reduce credit risk from potential counterparty default, the portfolio enters into swaption contracts with counterparties whose creditworthiness has been approved by the Board of Trustees. The portfolio bears the market risk arising from any changes in index values or interest rates.

 

The underlying face amounts of open futures, option, and swaption contracts at April 30, 2004, are listed in the Schedule of Investments. The variation margin receivable is included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The variation margin receivable or payable, as applicable, is included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Variation margin represents the additional payments due or excess deposits made in order to maintain the equity account at the required margin level.

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX PIMCO Total Return (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on March 1, 2002.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX PIMCO Total Return to TA IDEX PIMCO Total Return.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Foreign securities generally are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using closing exchange rates. Many foreign securities markets are open for trading at times when the U.S. markets are closed for trading, and many foreign securities markets close for trading before the close of the NYSE. The value of foreign securities may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is unable to purchase or redeem shares. 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.” If market quotations are not readily available, and the impact of such a significant market event materially affects the net asset value per share of the Fund, an affected portfolio security will be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee. Factors that may be considered to value foreign securities at fair market value may include, among others: the value of other securities traded on other markets, foreign currency exchange activity and the trading of financial products tied to foreign securities.

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

The Fund values its investment securities at fair value based upon procedures approved by the Board of Trustees on day when significant events occur after the close of the principal exchange on which the securities are traded, and as a result, are expected to materially affect the value of investments.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

NOTE  1–(continued)

 

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. TBA purchase commitments are included in the Schedule of Investments.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned less than $1 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not

less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments. During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification basis. 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, including unanticipated movements in exchange currency rates, the degree of government supervision and regulation of security markets, and the possibility of political or economic instability.

 

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 closed 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, 2004, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

 

Swap agreements: The Fund may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Fund may enter into

interest rate and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve

commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. 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 Fund may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Fund 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.

 

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 interest income on the Statement of Operations.

 

Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, 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. Open Swap Agreements at April 30, 2004, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

 

Futures, options and swaptions contracts: The Fund may enter into futures and/or options 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. Option contracts 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 futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in value of the securities held and the prices of futures contracts and options; the possibility of an illiquid market and inability of the counterparty to meet the contract 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. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written.

 

The Fund is authorized to write swaption contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and to enhance portfolio yield. Swaption contracts written by the Fund represents 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 fixed 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 portfolio as realized gains from written options. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase, as a realized loss.

 

Entering into a swaption contract involves, to varying degrees, the elements of credit, market and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, associated with both option contracts and swap contracts. To reduce credit risk from potential counterparty default, the portfolio enters into swaption contracts with counterparties whose creditworthiness has been approved by the Board of Trustees. The portfolio bears the market risk arising from any changes in index values or interest rates.

 

The underlying face amounts of open futures, option, and swaption contracts at April 30, 2004, are listed in the Schedule of Investments. The variation margin receivable is included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The variation margin receivable or payable, as applicable, is included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Variation margin represents the additional payments due or excess deposits made in order to maintain the equity account at the required margin level.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(all amounts in thousands)

(unaudited)

 

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Protected Principal Stock (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on July 1, 2002.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Protected Principal Stock to TA IDEX Protected Principal Stock.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers four classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed to class C2 shares on that date. Currently all share classes are closed to new investors. 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 the Rule 18f-3 of the 1940 Act. Each class bears its own specific expenses as well as a portion of general, common expenses.

 

Pricing of shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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 by independent pricing services; 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 also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

The Fund values its investment securities at fair value based upon procedures approved by the Board of Trustees on a day when significant events occur after the close of the principal exchange on which the securities are traded, and as a result, are expected to materially affect the value of investments.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification basis. 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. The amount is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written.

 

The underlying face amounts of open contracts at April 30, 2004, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

 

Substantially all the Fund’s common stocks are memo pledged as collateral by the custodian for the listed short index option contracts written by the Fund. The custodian uses the escrow receipt depository of the Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”) to effect pledging while main -

(“ATFA”), guarantees shareholders a Guaranteed Amount five years after the end of the Offering Period.

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Salomon All Cap (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds , began operations on March 1, 1999.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Salomon All Cap to TA IDEX Salomon All Cap.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Foreign securities generally are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using closing exchange rates. Many foreign securities markets are open for trading at times when the U.S. markets are closed for trading, and many foreign securities markets close for trading before the close of the NYSE. The value of foreign securities may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is unable to purchase or redeem shares. 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.” If market quotations are not readily available, and the impact of such a significant market event materially affects the net asset value per share of the Fund, an affected portfolio security will be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee. Factors that may be considered to value foreign securities at fair market value may include, among others: the value of other securities traded on other markets, foreign currency exchange activity and the trading of financial products tied to foreign securities.

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Directed brokerage: 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 Directed Brokerage Program. A Directed Brokerage 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. Directed commissions during the period ended April 30, 2004, of $174 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $30 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments. During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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, including unanticipated movements in exchange currency rates, the degree of government supervision and regulation of security markets, and the possibility of political or economic instability.

 

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 closed 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, 2004, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Salomon Investors Value (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on February 1, 1997.

 

On March, 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Salomon Investors Value to TA IDEX Salomon Investors Value.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $5 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds,

repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments. During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities

 

loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 related securities, the value of its shares may fluctuate more widely than the value of shares of a fund that invests in broad range of industries.

 

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 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.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

 

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

 

  accounts opened within the preceding 24 months

 

  accounts with an active monthly Automatic Investment Plan ($50 (not in thousands) minimum per fund)
  accounts owned by an individual which, when combined by social security number, have a balance of $5 or more

 

  accounts owned by individuals in the same household (by address) that have a combined balance of $5 or more

 

  UTMA/UGMA accounts

 

  Fiduciary accounts

 

  B-share accounts whose shares have started to convert to A-shares accounts (as long as combined value of both accounts is at least $1)

 

For the period ended April 30, 2004, this fee totaled $1. These fees are included in Paid in Capital in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

 

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)

 

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

 

1.20% Expense Limit

 

If total fund expenses fall below the annual expense limitations 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 subject to recapture at April 30, 2004.

 

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 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 C2

   1.00%

Class M

   0.90%

 

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 M shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, M and certain A share redemptions. For the period ended April 30, 2004, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

Administrative services: The Fund has entered into an agreement with ATFS for financial and legal fund administration services, which includes such items as compliance, expenses, financial statements and other reporting, distributions, tax returns, prospectus preparation, board of trustees meeting support, and other legal matters. The Legal fees on the Statement of Operations are for fees paid to external legal counsel. The Fund paid ATFS $25 for the period ended April 30, 2004.

At April 30, 2004, the value of invested plan amounts was $5.

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Templeton Great Companies Global (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on September 15, 2000.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Templeton Great Companies Global to TA IDEX Templeton Great Companies Global.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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 by independent pricing services; 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 and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using closing exchange rates. Many foreign securities markets are open for trading at times when the U.S. markets are closed for trading, and many foreign securities markets close for trading before the close of the NYSE. The value of foreign securities may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is unable to purchase or redeem shares. 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.” If market quotations are not readily available, and the impact of such a significant market event materially affects the net asset value per share of the Fund, an affected portfolio security will be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee. Factors that may be considered to value foreign securities at fair market value may include, among others: the value of other securities traded on other markets, foreign currency exchange activity and the trading of financial products tied to foreign securities.

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

The Fund values its investment securities at fair value based upon procedures approved by the Board of Trustees on day when significant events occur after the close of the principal exchange on which the securities are traded, and as a result, are expected to materially affect the value of investments.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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.

NOTE  1–(continued)

 

Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $3 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments.

 

During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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, including unanticipated movements in exchange currency rates, the degree of government supervision and regulation of security markets, and the possibility of political or economic instability.

 

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 closed 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, 2004, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

 

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

 

  accounts opened within the preceding 24 months

 

  accounts with an active monthly Automatic Investment Plan ($50 (not in thousands) minimum per fund)

 

  accounts owned by an individual which, when combined by social security number, have a balance of $5 or more

 

  accounts owned by individuals in the same household (by address) that have a combined balance of $5 or more

 

  UTMA/UGMA accounts

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Transamerica Conservative High-Yield Bond (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on June 14, 1985.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Transamerica Conservative High-Yield Bond to TA IDEX Transamerica Conservative High-Yield Bond.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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.

 

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

 

Debt securities are valued by independent pricing services; 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 also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $18 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments.

NOTE  1–(continued)

 

During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

 

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

 

  accounts opened within the preceding 24 months

 

  accounts with an active monthly Automatic Investment Plan ($50 (not in thousands) minimum per fund)

 

  accounts owned by an individual which, when combined by social security number, have a balance of $5 or more

 

  accounts owned by individuals in the same household (by address) that have a combined balance of $5 or more

 

  UTMA/UGMA accounts

 

  Fiduciary accounts

 

  B-share accounts whose shares have started to convert to A-shares accounts (as long as combined value of both accounts is at least $1)

For the period ended April 30, 2004, this fee totaled $2. These fees are included in Paid in Capital in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

 

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  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Transamerica Convertible Securities (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on March 1, 2002.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Transamerica Convertible Securities to TA IDEX Transamerica Convertible Securities.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $14 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds,

repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments. During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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.

 

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  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Transamerica Equity (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on March 1, 2000.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Transamerica Equity to TA IDEX Transamerica Equity.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

 

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Directed brokerage: 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 Directed Brokerage Program. A Directed Brokerage 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. Directed commissions during the period ended April 30, 2004, of $6 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to

qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $2 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

NOTE  1–(continued)

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments. During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

 

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

 

  accounts opened within the preceding 24 months

 

  accounts with an active monthly Automatic Investment Plan ($50 (not in thousands) minimum per fund)
  accounts owned by an individual which, when combined by social security number, have a balance of $5 or more

 

  accounts owned by individuals in the same household (by address) that have a combined balance of $5 or more

 

  UTMA/UGMA accounts

 

  Fiduciary accounts

 

  B-share accounts whose shares have started to convert to A-shares accounts (as long as combined value of both accounts is at least $1)

 

For the period ended April 30, 2004, this fee totaled less than $1. These fees are included in Paid in Capital in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

 

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  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Transamerica Flexible Income (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on June 29,1987.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Janus Flexible Income to TA IDEX Transamerica Flexible Income and changed its sub-adviser from Janus Capital Management, LLC to Transamerica Investment Management, LLC.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

 

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Foreign securities generally are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using closing exchange rates. Many foreign securities markets are open for trading at times when the U.S. markets are closed for trading, and many foreign securities markets close for trading before the close of the NYSE. The value of foreign securities may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is unable to purchase or redeem shares. 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.” If market quotations are not readily available, and the impact of such a significant market event materially affects the net asset value per share of the Fund, an affected portfolio security will be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee. Factors that may be considered to value foreign securities at fair market value may include, among others: the value of other securities traded on other markets, foreign currency exchange activity and the trading of financial products tied to foreign securities.

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

The Fund values its investment securities at fair value based upon procedures approved by the Board of Trustees on day when significant events occur after the close of the principal exchange on which the securities are traded, and as a result, are expected to materially affect the value of investments.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $11 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments. During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund. Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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.

 

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 closed a realized gain or loss is incurred. Risks may arise from changes in 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, 2004, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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, including unanticipated movements in exchange currency rates, the degree of government supervision and regulation of security markets, and the possibility of political or economic instability.

 

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 counterpart to meet the contract terms.

 

The underlying face amounts of open futures contracts at April 30, 2004, are listed in the Schedule of Investments. The variation margin payable is included in the accompanying Statements of Assets and

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  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Transamerica Growth Opportunities (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on March 1, 2000.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Transamerica Growth Opportunities to TA IDEX Transamerica Growth Opportunities.

 

On March 1, 2003, the Fund acquired all the net assets of IDEX Janus Capital Appreciation pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by shareholders of IDEX Janus Capital Appreciation on February 12, 2003. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 19,801 shares of the Fund for the 8,814 shares of IDEX Janus Capital Appreciation outstanding on February 28, 2003. IDEX Janus Capital Appreciation’s net assets at that date $88,560, including $11,239 unrealized depreciation, were combined with those of the Fund. Proceeds in connection with the acquisition were as follows:

 

     Shares

   Amount

Proceeds in connection with the acquisition

           

Class A

   7,472    $   33,925

Class B

   8,792      38,948

Class C

   63      280

Class M

   1,886      8,373
         

          $   88,560
         

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

 

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Directed brokerage: 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 Directed Brokerage

NOTE  1–(continued)

 

Program. A Directed Brokerage 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. Directed commissions during the period ended April 30, 2004, of $11 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $6 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments. During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

 

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

 

  accounts opened within the preceding 24 months

 

  accounts with an active monthly Automatic Investment Plan ($50 (not in thousands) minimum per fund)

 

  accounts owned by an individual which, when combined by social security number, have a balance of $5 or more

 

  accounts owned by individuals in the same household (by address) that have a combined balance of $5 or more

 

  UTMA/UGMA accounts

 

  Fiduciary accounts

 

  B-share accounts whose shares have started to convert to A-shares accounts (as long as combined value of both accounts is at least $1)

 

For the period ended April 30, 2004, this fee totaled less than $1. These fees are included in Paid in Capital in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

 

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.

(unaudited)

 

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Transamerica Money Market (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on March 1, 2002.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name form IDEX Transamerica Money Market to TA IDEX Transamerica Money Market.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

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. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification basis. Interest income, including accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis commencing on the settlement date.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

 

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

 

  accounts opened within the preceding 24 months

 

  accounts with an active monthly Automatic Investment Plan ($50 (not in thousands) minimum per fund)

 

  accounts owned by an individual which, when combined by social security number, have a balance of $5 or more

 

  accounts owned by individuals in the same household (by address) that have a combined balance of $5 or more

 

  UTMA/UGMA accounts

 

  Fiduciary accounts

 

  B-share accounts whose shares have started to convert to A-shares accounts (as long as combined value of both accounts is at least $1)

 

For the period ended April 30, 2004, this fee totaled less than $1. These fees are included in Paid in Capital in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

 

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 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.

These waivers are not subject to the expense recapture agreement. The waivers reduced the ratio of net expenses to average net assets by 0.19% for Classes B, C, C2 and M.

 

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A and M shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, M and certain A share redemptions. For the period ended April 30, 2004, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

NOTE  3. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for items including, but not limited to, excise taxes, distribution and service fee expenses.

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Transamerica Small/Mid Cap Value (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on April 2, 2001.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Isabelle Small Cap Value to TA IDEX Transamerica Small/Mid Cap Value and changed its sub-adviser from Ironwood Capital Management, LLC to Transamerica Investment Management, LLC.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Directed brokerage: 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 Directed Brokerage Program. A Directed Brokerage 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. Directed commissions during the period ended April 30, 2004, of $182 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $33 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as

protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments.

 

During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

 

  accounts opened within the preceding 24 months

 

  accounts with an active monthly Automatic Investment Plan ($50 (not in thousands) minimum per fund)

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX Transamerica Value Balanced (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on October 1, 1995.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX Transamerica Value Balanced to TA IDEX Transamerica Value Balanced.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

 

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Directed brokerage: 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 Directed Brokerage Program. A Directed Brokerage 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. Directed commissions during the period ended April 30, 2004, of $1 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to

qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned less than $1 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

NOTE  1–(continued)

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments. During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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. The amount is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written.

The underlying face amounts of open option contracts at April 30, 2004, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

 

Transactions in written call and put options were as follows:

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

 

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

 

  accounts opened within the preceding 24 months

 

  accounts with an active monthly Automatic Investment Plan ($50 (not in thousands) minimum per fund)

  Fiduciary accounts

 

  B-share accounts whose shares have started to convert to A-shares accounts (as long as combined value of both accounts is at least $1)

 

For the period ended April 30, 2004, this fee totaled $8. These fees are included in Paid in Capital in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

 

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  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX T. Rowe Price Health Sciences (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on March 1, 2002.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX T. Rowe Price Health Sciences to TA IDEX T. Rowe Price Health Sciences.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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 by independent pricing services; 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 also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Directed brokerage: 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 Directed Brokerage Program. A Directed Brokerage 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. Directed commissions during the period ended April 30, 2004, of $13 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 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. The amount is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written.

NOTE  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX T. Rowe Price Small Cap (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on March 1, 1999.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX T. Rowe Price Small Cap to TA IDEX T. Rowe Price Small Cap.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received).

Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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.

 

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

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Directed brokerage: 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 Directed Brokerage Program. A Directed Brokerage 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. Directed commissions during the period ended April 30, 2004, of $3 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned $8 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

NOTE  1–(continued)

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments.

 

During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $1), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

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 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.

 

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 counterpart to meet the contract terms.

The underlying face amount of open futures contracts at April 30, 2004, are listed in the Schedule of Investments. The variation margin payable, is included in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Variation margin payable represents the additional payments due in order to maintain the equity account at the required margin level.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.

 

No fee will be charged under the following conditions:

 

  accounts opened within the preceding 24 months

 

  accounts with an active monthly Automatic Investment Plan ($50 (not in thousands) minimum per fund)

 

  accounts owned by an individual which, when combined by social security number, have a balance of $5 or more

 

  accounts owned by individuals in the same household (by address) that have a combined balance of $5 or more

 

  UTMA/UGMA accounts

 

  Fiduciary accounts

 

  B-share accounts whose shares have started to convert to A-shares accounts (as long as combined value of both accounts is at least $1)

 

For the period ended April 30, 2004, this fee totaled $2. These fees are included in Paid in Capital in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

 

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  1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, formerly IDEX Mutual Funds, is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. TA IDEX T. Rowe Price Tax-Efficient Growth (“the Fund”), part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, began operations on March 1, 1999.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from IDEX T. Rowe Price Tax-Efficient Growth to TA IDEX T. Rowe Price Tax-Efficient Growth.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which 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.

 

See the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the Fund’s investment objective.

 

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 policies were consistently followed by the Fund, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Multiple class operations and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004, were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. 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.

 

Pricing of Shares: The Fund prices its shares on the basis of the net asset value of the Fund, which is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading (other than a day on which there are insufficient changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities to materially affect the Fund’s net asset value or a day on which no shares are tendered for redemption and no order to purchase any shares is received). Security valuations: Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sales price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

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

 

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

 

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available also are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, under the supervision of the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

 

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, 2004, was paying an interest rate of 0.75%.

 

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through 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. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, 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 are incurred.

 

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to enhance fund earnings from investing cash collateral received in making such loans to

qualified borrowers (typically broker/dealers). The Fund has engaged its custodian bank, IBT, as a lending agent to administer its securities lending program. IBT earned less than $1 of program net income for its services. When the Fund makes a security loan, it receives cash collateral as protection against the risk that the borrower will default on the loan, and records an asset for the cash invested collateral and a liability for the return of the collateral.

 

Securities on loan are included in Investment securities at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and remain on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Loans of securities are required to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities at inception of the loan, and not less than 100% thereafter. The Fund may invest cash collateral in short-term money market instruments including: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements and other highly rated, liquid investments.

NOTE  1–(continued)

 

During the life of securities loans, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in value. IBT marks to market securities loaned and the collateral each business day. If additional collateral is due (at least $), IBT collects additional cash collateral from the borrowers. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, IBT may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral on behalf of the Fund. The Fund may recall a loaned security position at any time from the borrower through IBT. In the event the borrower fails to timely return a recalled security, IBT may indemnify the Fund by purchasing replacement securities for the Fund at its own expense and claiming the collateral to fund such a purchase. IBT absorbs the loss if the collateral value is not sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement securities. If replacement securities are not available, IBT will credit the equivalent cash value to the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is included in the Statement of Operations. The amount of collateral and value of securities on loan are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification basis.

Interest income, including accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis commencing on the settlement date.

 

Account Maintenance Fees: If the shareholder account balance falls below $1 by either shareholder action or as a result of market action, a $25 (not in thousands) fee is assessed every year until the balance reaches $1. The fee is assessed by redeeming shares in the shareholder’s account.
