Dear Fellow Shareholder,

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

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

We believe it is important to understand market conditions over the last year in order to provide a context for reading this report. At the beginning of this year, markets were focused on the possibility that 2014 would be the year that quantitative easing—the extraordinary monetary accommodation enacted by the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”)—would finally be coming to an end. Fed officials had widely publicized their intentions to end the quantitative easing program as long as they saw continued improvement in the economy. In a welcomed development, the economy and the all-important labor market continued to make gains throughout 2014, with the Bureau of Labor Statistics reporting that the unemployment rate falling below six percent in September, the first time this has occurred since July 2008.

For all of the economic improvements witnessed in the U.S., much of the rest of the world seems to have been on a different path. Europe produced anemic economic growth, as it continued to grapple with weak internal demand and structural imbalances. Japan, a very indebted country, has been attempting to boost its economy through aggressive Central Bank stimulus. Finally, China has been working to slowly let the air out of speculative areas of its economy while trying to avoid damaging its broader economy.

Given the notable differences in Central Bank policy and the different degrees of economic health in which major economies find themselves, it is little surprise that the returns from major asset classes have varied. For the year ended October 31, 2014, the S&P 500® returned 17.27% while the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index, representing international developed market equities, lost 0.17%. During the same period, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 4.14%. Please keep in mind that it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio as investment returns have historically been difficult to predict.

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

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

Sincerely,

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Although volatility re-emerged toward the end of the period, U.S. stocks appreciated strongly over the 12-month period. After much anticipation, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) announced in December 2013 that it would begin reducing its bond purchases beginning the next month. Stocks finished 2013 on a high note but stumbled in the early months of 2014 as an exceptionally cold winter dampened economic activity. As the year progressed, economic growth recovered and stocks resumed their climb. However, August saw a return to volatility as geopolitical risks intensified, the pace of global economic growth slowed, and the timing of the Fed’s first rate hike was debated. A spike in oil prices during the summer also contributed to some softness in U.S. economic data. After recovering their losses in September, stocks tumbled sharply again in October. Uncertainty about U.S. corporate earnings growth and weak economic data in Europe and China contributed to market volatility. In the final weeks of the period, stocks rallied strongly, erasing the losses from the downturn earlier in October.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Capital Growth Class A returned 16.52%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, returned 17.11%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The investment team looks for high-quality growth companies that we believe have these attributes: sustainable competitive advantages, above-average business visibility, rising return on invested capital, strong free cash flow generation and a favorable risk/reward profile. We find these companies through intense fundamental research. Our emphasis is on secular growth, and as a result, short-term market events are not as meaningful in the stock selection process.

The Fund slightly underperformed its benchmark during the year ended October 31, 2014.

Stock selection in the Health Care sector was the largest positive contributor to relative performance during the period. Illumina, Inc., a leader in genetic testing and analysis, was the Fund’s top-contributing holding for the period. Although Illumina, Inc.’s stock price was pressured by a general sell-off in high-growth and high-valuation stocks in March and April, its shares recovered significantly in May and June. We attributed the strength to continued investor enthusiasm for the company’s progress in lowering the cost of genome mapping. We believe Illumina, Inc. is unique because it controls the core patents and intellectual property used in analyzing genetic variation and biological function, and provides best-in-class genomic tools for academic and industry researchers to generate valuable medical information that can potentially enhance drug discovery and clinical research.

The Consumer Staples and Information Technology (“IT”) sectors also added to relative returns. A holding in specialty coffee producer Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. was the chief contributor in the Consumer Staples sector. In the IT sector, both an overweight position and stock selection bolstered relative results. The Fund’s holding in online social networking service Facebook, Inc., Class A led the IT sector’s performance.

The Consumer Discretionary sector detracted the most from relative performance during the period. Both stock selection and an overweight position were unfavorable to returns, with e-commerce giant Amazon.com, Inc. hurting the most. Its shares were pressured earlier in 2014 during the general sell-off in high growth, high multiple stocks. In addition, the company’s results have fallen short of high expectations due to somewhat slower unit growth and reinvestment in various business initiatives which is weighing on near-term profitability. We believe this could be transitory and remain attracted to Amazon.com, Inc., as we believe the company has substantial scale, strong brand and competitive advantages, which should allow it to continue gaining market share in both its core retail and cloud computing businesses. Stock selection in the Industrial sector also diminished relative returns. All four of the Fund’s holdings in the sector had a negative impact on performance. In the Financial sector, both stock selection and an overweight position dampened performance. Although most of the Fund’s holdings in the sector added to performance, relative gains were hampered by the Fund’s lack of exposure to real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), a group which performed well within the Index during the period.

During the period, the Fund utilized options for foreign exchange management. These positions detracted from performance.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The last 12 months continued to generate the kind of positive returns enjoyed by investors over the past five years. Equity markets are rising along with steady underlying fundamentals: moderate economic growth, muted inflation, low cost of capital and productivity-driven profit margin expansion. With this as a backdrop, profits at U.S. companies are growing; over the past five years (as of 9/30/14), earnings for the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the “Index”) have compounded at a double digit pace as the Index has gained more than 15% on an average annual basis. Despite the occasional bout of volatility, robust returns have been supported by similar earnings growth.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Concentrated Growth Class I returned 11.34%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, returned 17.11%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund’s strategy is to invest in companies with proven records of increasing earnings on a consistent and sustainable basis. Over the long term, this has been a successful approach for producing attractive returns without assuming excessive risk. Over the last 12 months, the strategy has performed in a manner consistent with expectations, lagging in a particularly strong market while offering lower risk characteristics compared to its benchmark and peers. For the period, underperformance was largely the result of three factors: (1) not assuming enough risk in the strongest areas of the market, which included Health Care and Biotechnology, and (2) poor stock selection in cyclical areas, such as Materials and Industrials, and (3) timing of fund flows resulting in higher-than-desired cash levels. We have addressed the mechanics of the fund flow process to reduce the potential for future impact. Despite recent underperformance, we remain committed to our strategy of investing in high-quality companies with sustainable growth characteristics. We have taken advantage of recent volatility to make a number of new investments we believe contribute to the Fund’s growth profile and decrease associated market risks.

The three best performing holdings over the period contributed 4.2% to performance. These included Apple, Inc., Gilead Sciences, Inc., and Fiserv, Inc. Conversely, the three worst performing holdings detracted just 2.1% from performance, which included FMC Corp., Class A, Core Laboratories NV, and Precision Castparts Corp. Sector performance was largely consistent with the winners and losers identified above; the best performing sectors were Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary and Telecommunication Services. The poorest performing sectors were Industrials, Materials and Health Care. Underperforming sectors were penalized by growing concerns about global growth, a rising dollar, declining commodity prices and moderating demand for industrial goods. As foreign holdings constitute less than 10% of the Fund’s value, country performance had little effect on performance.

In the face of uncertainty, perspective is critical to successful investing. U.S. equities have exhibited a remarkable degree of resilience despite numerous geopolitical and economic risks. Recent events have caused some to question this resilience and cast an element of risk aversion over global capital markets. We don’t believe much has changed in the economy since the market reached a high in September 2014. The basic message remains the same: a gradually improving global economy led by a strong U.S. economy. We believe that short-term challenges should not overshadow long-term opportunities, which include low energy costs, high productivity, declining unemployment and low inflation. Importantly, we continue to see many long-term growth trends fueled by innovation and outstanding companies. Our strategy is to identify and invest in these trends and the businesses that benefit from them over time.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Equity markets around the globe remained resilient during the period despite a number of geopolitical risks, including the violence in Middle East, Argentina’s default, the continuing Russia/Ukraine dispute, fears of a slowdown in China, and the Ebola scare. Meanwhile, central banks sent mixed messages, with European and Japanese Central banks signaling further accommodation while the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued to wind down the massive, multi-year stimulus program that has driven interest rates to near-record lows and domestic stock markets to record highs.

Several trends within our primary large cap value universe, the Russell 1000® Value Index (the “Index”), have created significant headwinds for active managers over the last 12 months and even prior years. First, the smaller/mid cap stocks in the Index have outperformed the largest capitalization stocks. Another trend is the meaningful outperformance of low and non-dividend paying stocks in tandem with lower quality companies that have outperformed higher quality companies.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Dividend Focused Class A returned 14.14%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, returned 16.46%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Our approach to the equity market is based on the underlying philosophy that markets are inefficient. These inefficiencies can best be exploited through adherence to a value-oriented investment process dedicated to the selection of securities on a bottom-up basis and constructing concentrated portfolios.

We stay fully invested with a conservative orientation based on our belief that superior returns can be achieved while taking below average risks. We implement this strategy by constructing portfolios of individual stocks that reflect all three value characteristics: price/earnings and price/book ratios below the market and dividend yields above the market (S&P 500®). In addition, the strategy requires that stocks purchased in the Fund not only pay a dividend, but also that each stock has a consecutive 25-year history of paying cash dividends. While we are exacting in our definition of value, we are equally demanding in our pursuit of quality companies. We seek companies with profitability and earnings growth greater than the market. Our history indicates that a strategy of emphasizing discounted valuations and high dividend yields provides a measure of protection in down markets, as well as participation in improving economic cycles.

The Fund modestly trailed the value benchmark for the year ended October 31, 2014. Performance of selections in the Industrials sector was one of the largest contributors to performance, although relative allocation diminished some of the positive effects. Overweighting the Health Care sector also positively contributed to performance. The top five contributing stocks included Southwest Airlines Co., Cardinal Health, Inc., Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. (no longer held at year end), General Dynamics Corp., and Raytheon Co.

Not participating in the Information Technology sector was the greatest detractor from performance as none of the Tech stocks that detracted from relative performance met the 25-year divided paying history requirement. Also detracting were stock selection combined with allocation in Financials, Telecommunication Services and Materials. Holdings in Consumer Discretionary also detracted from performance, but underweighting the sector lessened some of the negative total effect. The five largest detractors from performance for the period were BP PLC, Target Corp., Loews Corp., Occidental Petroleum Corp., and CRH PLC.

We believe the market is transitioning from dependence upon an accommodative Fed and low interest rates. Additionally, if central banks continue to diverge in their monetary policies to the benefit of the U.S. dollar, there may be an additional element of volatility and complexity that should benefit our active and fundamental stock selection process.

Value investing carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security’s intrinsic value for a long time or that a stock considered undervalued. ADRs involve the same risks as foreign securities including currency fluctuations, adverse social and political developments, and relatively small size and lesser liquidity of the markets.

Transamerica Emerging Markets Debt

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Over the past fiscal year, the emerging market debt universe has witnessed periods of both euphoria and pain. 2014 started in a frenzy as the Turkish Central Bank hiked rates aggressively in late January, causing a dramatic turn in investor sentiment. Following the inauspicious start, the first half of 2014 recovered to report impressive returns despite geopolitical headwinds in Russia and the Middle East. With the call for higher interest rates in the U.S. and a stronger dollar failing to materialize for much of the first half, emerging market assets performed well. Corporate spreads tightened and foreign exchange (“F/X”), away from the hotspot of Russia, appreciated versus developed market currencies across the board. In the second half of the year, the euphoria faded, and despite U.S. interest rates rallying, the dollar appreciated dramatically and market sentiment shifted negatively. Commodity prices dropped, and high beta sovereigns and local currency positions underperformed.

Two themes have been driving factors in overall risk sentiment as it pertains to the asset class: elections and U.S. interest rates. On the election side, India and Indonesia have voted for reform while Brazil and Turkey have opted for the status quo. Meanwhile, U.S. interest rates remain low, with many investors looking at the U.S. as a potential carry trade given low yields in Germany and Japan. We believe that the election follow through will be key in determining the flow of funds into emerging economies, while the direction of interest rates will remain a heated debate for the some time to come.

“Data dependent” has been the phrase of the day, and the market continues to search for clues as to where and when the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) will move interest rates higher. With asset purchases ending in the U.S. and the European Central Bank trying to stimulate, the world is left wondering whether or not growth will materialize. Emerging market policy makers are adjusting to this in different ways, with some maintaining a focus on controlling inflation and others toeing the line between inflation and growth.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Emerging Markets Debt Class A returned 4.91%. By comparison, its benchmark, the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global, returned 7.20%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the J.P. Morgan Emerging Market Bond Index Global (the “Index”) during the fiscal year. The Fund’s diverse allocation underperformed, as high beta sovereign paper and local currency exposure lagged longer duration U.S. dollar (“USD”) sovereign paper. The Fund’s lack of exposure to interest rate sensitive securities, in favor of event dependent sovereign exposure was a large drag on performance.

The local currency exposure in the Fund ranged from 20% to 32% for the year. The focus remained on higher real rate countries like Brazil and reform oriented regimes in Mexico. As the year progressed, the Fund did increase exposure in lower volatility Asian countries, such as Malaysia and Thailand, while reducing some exposure within the higher volatility F/X space. The Fund did increase exposure to the Indian Rupee throughout the year and remains committed to that exposure.

Corporate allocations were more dynamic, with the headlines within Russia and Ukraine driving a significant shift in the asset mix of the Fund. The Fund reduced overall Russia risk by four to five percent, primarily through a reduction of corporate and local currency assets. Corporate exposure in Brazil and Turkey were increased with a focus on the five to seven year maturity bucket, where the Fund can increase its yield advantage without significantly increasing its duration exposure. The winter could provide pockets of opportunity in credits more exposed to the Russia/Ukraine conflict, however, the Fund remains at lower levels of exposure to that region.

Finally, in the USD sovereign space it was “a tale of two cities.” Low beta investment grade sovereigns, (away from Russia), performed very well on an absolute return basis as they have kept pace with U.S. Treasuries, while high beta countries such as Ukraine and Venezuela struggled. The Fund’s exposure in high grade assets like Mexico, Colombia and Turkey helped offset some of the drag in other areas, but this wasn’t enough to compensate for local currency and high beta sovereign exposure.

Looking forward, we are committed to keeping an active balance of diversified assets in the Fund and continue to search for individual opportunities that are exploitable. Brazilian policy makers could set the tone during the fourth quarter, as the market hopes for signals that the Dilma’s second term will not be a repeat of the first. Monetary and fiscal policy responses to lower commodity prices and increased F/X volatility will likely be a key driver of both investor sentiment and asset price moves going forward. Therefore, the Fund may increase exposure in local currency assets if we see policy makers start to act. It is too soon to call for the differentiation of emerging market F/X versus developed markets; however, we believe the massive underperformance of non-dollar assets could present an attractive entry point for the Fund.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The market environment for the year ended October 31, 2014 was volatile for the emerging markets.

While the global economy appears to be making positive gains in 2014, geopolitical risks do have the potential to disrupt this outlook. In addition, market volatility in September and October, and ongoing concerns about an Ebola epidemic have rattled investors. Growth rates may finally be able to sustain a normal, healthy recovery, albeit with the level of Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) still tracking below previous long term trends. The global growth projection from the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) for 2014 has been reduced by 0.3% to 3.4%. This reflects both a weak first quarter, particularly in the U.S., and a less optimistic outlook for several emerging markets. With somewhat stronger growth expected in some advanced economies next year, the IMF global growth projection for 2015 remains at 4%.

One key driver of market volatility was concerns over a Chinese slowdown. China’s GDP grew 7.5% in the second quarter of 2014 versus a year earlier, however almost half of the GDP increase was due to amplified fixed asset investment, which was up 17.3%. It appears that government stimulus continues to spur economic growth. The government has shown concerns that the drop in house prices will contribute to slower economic growth, and has taken steps to stimulate housing activity.

As is almost always the case, even in markets that are facing challenges, there will be individual companies that are thriving, and who may very well be a great investment now because of the cynicism around their area of the world. Perhaps now more than ever, a focus on good stock selection and solid macro risk control is critical. It is our opinion that emerging market equities have been, and continue to be, an important, long-term, core investment from a strategic perspective.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Emerging Markets Equity Class A returned (0.40)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index, returned 0.98%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund continues to be positioned in line with our overall philosophy. ClariVest Asset Management LLC employs a strategy of aggressively identifying and investing in the securities of firms entering or extending a fundamental growth cycle. We manage this aggressive strategy by marrying it with a disciplined approach to portfolio construction. We maintain a balanced profile of growth and value, as demonstrated by a positive exposure to recent earnings growth relative to benchmark, as well as a positive exposure to valuation (via such measures as earnings to price) relative to benchmark.

The Fund underperformed its benchmark this fiscal year. An overweight in Health Care and an underweight in Energy contributed to performance. An underweight to Russia helped performance, whereas an overweight to South Korea detracted from performance.

Top stock-level contributors included Tata Motors, Ltd., Series V, an India-based automotive company, and Largan Precision Co., Ltd., a Taiwanese camera lens manufacturer and Apple, Inc. supplier. Tata Motors, Ltd. outperformed due to strong performance in its Jaguar Land Rover division globally, and the introduction of a new car in India in an effort to gain market share. Largan Precision Co., Ltd. helped performance as it benefited from the smartphone camera upgrade cycle and an increase in smartphone demand from China. Bottom stock-level contributors included Hyundai Motor Co., a South Korean automotive company, and Vale SA, Class B, a Brazil-based metals and mining company. Hyundai Motors Co. detracted from performance following its successful bid for the land sold by Korea Electric Power Corp. at a higher price than expected. The company also suffered from a partial labor strike and an appreciating currency. Vale SA, the world’s largest iron ore producer, hurt performance as stocks in the industry suffered from a large decline in iron ore prices. The stock was also affected by the uncertainty leading up to the presidential elections in Brazil.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

For the year ended October 31, 2014 we have seen a flattening of the yield curve and positive performance from the municipal bond market. For the remainder of 2014, interest rates and market volatility will be important to monitor.

Puerto Rico, Detroit, and the bond insurers were the big headlines in the first quarter. Puerto Rico successfully placed $3.5 billion in general obligation bonds that were well received. Both Assured Guaranty and National Public Finance were upgraded by S&P to AA and AA- respectively. S&P downgraded Detroit Water and Sewer bonds to CCC. Puerto Rico continued to take up the majority of the headlines after legislation was passed allowing for the restructuring of Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (“PREPA”), Puerto Rico Aqueduct & Sewer Authority (“PRASA”), and Puerto Rico Highways & Transportation Authority (“PRHTA”). In response, Moody’s downgraded PREPA to Caa2 from Ba3, PRASA downgraded to Caa1 from Ba3, and PRHTA downgraded to Caa1 from Ba3. Puerto Rico’s General Obligation bonds were downgraded to B2 from Ba2. While it is still possible that insured Puerto Rico bonds will see full or near-full repayment, many buyers are concerned that if governments can change the rules once they might change them in the future. Continued headline risk from Puerto Rico may create opportunities across the municipal market and in the name itself. Any panic could offer further opportunities, especially if redemption’s ramp up from funds with large losses in Puerto Rico.

A common theme for 2014 was large inflows to municipal bond funds coupled with a low supply of new issues. The trend reversal from 2013 was due to falling interest rates and anemic tax-exempt supply. Between the first and second quarters of 2014 alone, inflows rose substantially. This trend into bond funds from equities could continue, especially if there is concern of a slowing economy and developing geopolitical risks.

Supply has remained tight as state and local governments have been reluctant to issue new bonds, and the majority of refunding has already occurred. Improving state budgets combined with the supply and demand imbalance have been factors contributing to more positive fundamentals of municipal bond funds. These same dynamics have also contributed to a compression of credit spreads.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Enhanced Muni Class A returned 10.05%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Barclays Managed Money Intermediate (1-17 Year) Index, returned 5.71%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund’s outperformance was primarily attributable to duration management, credit quality allocation, bond selection and active management. Over the course of the year, the duration of the Fund has moved slightly, but remained range bound. It was extended in the first half of the year and then scaled back slightly to opportunistically capitalize on the supply/demand imbalance of longer dated bonds.

Additionally, there was an increased exposure to lower rated credits, however, the average credit quality remained constant at A. This move helped bolster relative performance.

Looking ahead, we will continue to closely monitor and potentially adjust the Fund’s exposure to interest rates (i.e., duration). However, we don’t currently anticipate an upward move in interest rates in the first half of 2015.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The year ended October 31, 2014 can be summarized as great expectations that were never met. This narrative applies most directly to the economic recovery and the expected sell-off in fixed income markets, especially long duration assets.

The expectations were building throughout 2013 as the 10-year Treasury rate almost doubled, briefly piercing the 3% threshold. This move was intertwined with the consensus thinking that the growth rate of the U.S. economy was finally going to hit terminal velocity of close to three percent. All was perceived to be going as planned until Mother Nature chimed in. The cold weather and snow in the first quarter of this year sent inventory accumulation into hibernation. What magnified the weather event is that in the second half of 2013, factories had been participating in the consensus view that the economy was accelerating by rapidly ramping up their inventories in anticipation of higher demand in 2014. The literal freeze in economic activity in the first quarter of 2014 created such a drag that it was quickly made apparent that the full-year growth numbers were not going to be attainable.

The underwhelming economic performance was not just a U.S. event. The consensus in the Eurozone had also been calling for a healthy acceleration. However, the necessary balance sheet repairs needed to allow banks to pass the Asset Quality Review test meant that lending to the region would be very hard to come by. Such a restriction of private credit, especially to the Small & Medium Sized Enterprises, is completely contrary to what is required for an economic expansion. The ensuing slowdown was not limited to the periphery, as even the German growth engine lost steam.

The most recent policy answer to the European growth problem created a new global narrative – divergent monetary policy in the developed world. At a time when the U.S. and U.K. have been winding down quantitative easing (“QE”) and talking about raising interest rates, Japan and Europe have been going the other way – either increasing the pace of QE or seeking alternative ways to implement QE policy. (Even the largest Emerging Market country (China) is adding stimulus through numerous channels.) This divergence of policy has resulted in a huge interest rate differential between sovereign bonds and has incentivized, in part, investors domiciled in countries with low yields to buy debt instruments in (relatively) higher interest bearing countries. This so called ‘tractor-beam’ effect has also contributed downward pressure to U.S. interest rates.

As is often the case, what the consensus was expecting to be the worst asset class for the coming year (i.e., 30-year Treasuries) turned out to be one of the best, especially after accounting for volatility. Can history repeat itself in 2015? It will be tough, at least for the long bond, given the challenges to attaining capital appreciation on top of the lower starting yield versus last year. Much of the 2015 narrative could be a continuation of the divergence in global monetary policy – does the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) and Bank of England start hiking rates in 2015? Does the European Central Bank start sovereign QE? How long does the Bank of Japan keep up its torrid pace of QE? While the answers to these questions may play out in due time, with no recession seen in site, Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC remains of the view that risk assets remain in a long-term bull market.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Flexible Income Class A returned 3.98%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 4.14%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund achieved a higher gross total return than the benchmark for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014. The biggest driver of performance was our overweighting of various spread products, primarily, corporate bonds (investment grade and high yield). In addition, investments in non-agency residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) as well as name and sector selection added to Fund performance. Our underweighting of U.S. Treasuries and Agency mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) securities helped performance given their minimal carry and interest rate risk.

Corporate bonds continued to benefit from strong corporate profitability and robust market technicals. However, given the increase in M&A activity this year, diligence to avoid idiosyncratic risks became more paramount. Our overweighting of financials benefited the Fund during the period, as we have seen credit spreads tighten due to the improved environment for asset quality and regulations supporting credit quality.

Within other spread sectors, our allocation to non-agency RMBS was a solid contributor during the fiscal year. Improvement in the housing environment due to price appreciation, lower delinquencies and higher recoveries all helped RMBS performance. We continued to be selective in our emerging markets positioning, investing mostly in Mexico and in solid corporate credits. Though we have remained cautious on many of these markets, we believe there continue to be select opportunities to pursue yield and return.

STRATEGY REVIEW (continued)

 

Finally, our yield curve positioning was a drag on performance during the year. Long Treasury bonds rallied during the year as the Fed began to normalize its policies, and given the low global interest rate environment, we were underweight this component of the yield curve. While the rally in the long end of the curve added to the Index’s total returns, the excess returns from our investments in other spread based assets helped performance for the year. While spreads on risky assets do not offer the return opportunities they once did, we believe there are still excess yield opportunities available.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Floating Rate Class A returned 2.17%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index, returned 3.77%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund finished its first full year at the end of October 2014. Preliminary performance for this time period shows the Fund slightly underperforming the benchmark. Due to the large cash installments during the ramp-up, transaction costs had a negative impact on performance. The Fund did benefit from an underweighting of Metals and Mining sectors as well as other Energy related sectors (i.e. offshore drilling) as these sectors underperformed.

In terms of valuation, we believe the leveraged loan asset class remains attractive at current levels. We believe for the next several months, loans can earn a coupon while having some potential for limited capital appreciation. This is due to our belief that Collateralized Loan Obligation issuance may create increasing demand for loans. In addition, longer term, we believe short term interest rates should eventually start to rise, potentially increasing demand for floating-rate loans which could push prices up. Fundamentally, we believe the credit markets can remain reasonably strong as the U.S. economy continues to recover and many corporate balance sheets exhibit abundant liquidity.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Since the inception of the Transamerica Global Bond, there have been significant fluctuations in global currencies and interest rates. In the early part of 2014, the asset class exhibited very little currency volatility with a bullish backdrop for global rates. However, as monetary policies diverged further over the course of the year, with both the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan committing to additional monetary easing, the U.S. dollar stood out as a compelling asset within an environment of global competitive devaluation. The commensurate commodity price weakness supported by dollar strength and weaker global demand also exacerbated moves for many developing market currencies.

PERFORMANCE

For the period ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Global Bond Class A returned (0.82)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Citigroup Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index (the “Index”), returned (3.64)%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Although the absolute return was negative, the Fund outperformed the Index from inception thru October 31, 2014.

Opportunities within global fixed income remain, but room for dramatically lower yields is limited within many of the largest sovereign issuers like Germany, Japan, Sweden and other core European countries. We will look to maintain positions in countries where we believe the fundamental outlook is strongest and valuations remain supportive, such as Mexico, New Zealand and United Kingdom. Within developing market exposures, we prefer to own idiosyncratic opportunities such as India, Indonesia and longer-dated Brazil local opportunities.

The Fund is currently positioned in anticipation of a gradual rising rate environment, as we are marginally shorter duration versus the Index. There is continued anticipation that the dollar will benefit from an improving U.S. economy along with a higher probability that the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) will raise rates in mid-2015. We envisage that the majority of the U.S. dollar’s strength will be reflected in developed market currencies, such as the Japanese Yen and the Euro and to a lesser degree in developing market currencies.

The Fund utilizes derivatives such as forwards primarily to gain or hedge currency exposure. During the period, derivatives slightly detracted from returns.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Since we began managing the Fund in September 2014, global equity markets experienced elevated volatility and a brief but sharp correction that bottomed in mid-October. There were a number of contributing factors: decelerating growth in most geographies outside of the U.S.; the fear of Ebola spreading beyond West Africa; falling commodity prices, especially in crude oil; and growing concern of deflation in the Eurozone. These issues prompted policymakers to seek more market-friendly measures in an effort to calm market sentiment and stimulate aggregate demand. Specifically, the European Central Bank indicated that it intends to materially expand its balance sheet through low-cost loans to European banks and asset purchases. The Chinese central bank injected 200 billion yuan ($32.7 billion) into 20 banks in an effort to boost liquidity. The Bank of Japan then gave markets a surprise Halloween treat by announcing an unexpected expansion in its quantitative and qualitative easing program on October 31, 2014. These measures helped to calm jittery markets and triggered a V-shaped recovery in equity markets around the globe.

On the currency front, the U.S. dollar rose to multi-year highs. The U.S. economy strengthened while the rest of the world appeared to be softening. Likewise, U.S. monetary policy moved toward tightening while several of its trading partners were still easing. However, in spite of the strengthening economy, U.S. Treasury’s long bond yields drifted lower in 2014. With crude oil prices sliding to multi-year lows, it may take longer to reach the U.S. Federal Reserve’s 2% inflation target.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Global Equity Class A returned 2.54%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World Index Net and Morgan Stanley Capital International World ex-U.S. Index, returned 7.77% and 0.30%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

We continue to expect that equities should have a positive bias as long as corporate earnings continue to grow on a year-over-year basis and valuations in general remain reasonable based on historic measures. We made several Fund changes as a result of economic and industry developments. Specifically, we reduced exposure to the energy sector as crude oil prices declined. It was unclear the extent to which Saudi Arabia would reduce production in an effort to support oil prices as it has done in the past. We also increased exposure to stocks that we believe could benefit from lower fuel costs. For example, some companies in the utilities and hospitality industries may benefit from lower fuel costs and potentially more consumer spending. We also continued to view airlines and cruise industries positively.

Additionally, we believe the strengthening U.S. dollar will start to impact many multinational corporations’ sales and earnings. U.S.-headquartered multinational corporations could face some potential headwinds as their products and services become more expensive overseas. On the other hand, select exporters in the Eurozone and Japan would likely benefit from having a much weaker home currency to boost their exports.

Our Fund’s largest sector overweight was in Health Care, which has benefited from aging demographics in the developed world and a rising standard of living in emerging markets. Select companies also benefited from breakthrough innovations in life sciences.

The Fund’s biggest sector underweight was in Materials. With China working on rebalancing its economy from infrastructure driven to a more consumption-driven growth model, we believe base metal prices are likely to continue their downward bias until production is materially curtailed.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Although volatility re-emerged toward the end of the period, U.S. stocks appreciated strongly over the 12-month period. After much anticipation, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) announced in December 2013 that it would begin reducing its bond purchases beginning the next month. Stocks finished 2013 on a high note but stumbled in the early months of 2014 as an exceptionally cold winter dampened economic activity. As the year progressed, economic growth recovered and stocks resumed their climb. However, August saw a return to volatility as geopolitical risks intensified, the pace of global economic growth slowed, and the timing of the Fed’s first rate hike was debated. A spike in oil prices during the summer also contributed to some softness in U.S. economic data. After recovering their losses in September, stocks tumbled sharply again in October. Uncertainty about U.S. corporate earnings growth and weak economic data in Europe and China contributed to market volatility. In the final weeks of the period, stocks rallied strongly, erasing the losses from the downturn earlier in October.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Growth Opportunities Class A returned 9.57%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Growth Index, returned 14.59%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The investment team looks for high-quality growth companies that we believe have these attributes: sustainable competitive advantages, above-average business visibility, rising return on invested capital, strong free cash flow generation and a favorable risk/reward profile. We find these companies through intense fundamental research. Our emphasis is on secular growth, and as a result, short-term market events are not as meaningful in the stock selection process.

The Fund underperformed its benchmark during the year ended October 31, 2014.

Relative underperformance was mainly driven by stock selection in the Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors. A holding in cyber security services provider, FireEye, Inc., was the largest detractor in the Fund overall. The stock declined in March and April amid a general sell-off in high-growth, high-valuation stocks. Its stock price saw another drop in May, when shares were pressured by the expiration of the lock-up period, which restricts certain insiders from selling shares within a certain time period following an initial public offering. We remain attracted to FireEye, Inc., as we believe it is a leading next-generation security vendor with a disruptive technology and a large addressable market.

In contrast, the Health Care sector was a positive contributor to relative performance, due to both stock selection and overweight position in the sector. Illumina, Inc., a leader in genetic testing and analysis, was the Fund’s top-contributing holding for the period. Although Illumina, Inc.’s stock price was similarly pressured by the general sell-off in high-growth and high-valuation stocks in March and April, its shares recovered meaningfully in May and June. We attribute the strength to continued investor enthusiasm for the company’s progress in lowering the cost of genome mapping. We believe Illumina, Inc. is unique because it controls the core patents and intellectual property used in analyzing genetic variation and biological function, and provides best-in-class genomic tools for academic and industry researchers to generate valuable medical information that can potentially enhance drug discovery and clinical research.

The Fund’s underweight in the Energy sector was beneficial to relative performance as well, as the sector was the weakest-performing group in the Index during the period.

During the period, the Fund utilized options for foreign exchange management. These positions detracted from performance.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The year ended October 31, 2014 can be summarized as great expectations that were never met. This narrative applies most directly to the economic recovery and the expected sell-off in fixed income markets, especially long duration assets.

The expectations were building throughout 2013 as the 10-year Treasury rate almost doubled, briefly piercing the 3% threshold. This move was intertwined with the consensus thinking that the growth rate of the U.S. economy was finally going to hit terminal velocity of close to three percent. All was perceived to be going as planned until Mother Nature chimed in. The cold weather and snow in the first quarter of this year sent inventory accumulation into hibernation. What magnified the weather event is that in the second half of 2013, factories had been participating in the consensus view that the economy was accelerating by rapidly ramping up their inventories in anticipation of higher demand in 2014. The literal freeze in economic activity in the first quarter of 2014 created such a drag that it was quickly made apparent that the full-year growth numbers were not going to be attainable.

The underwhelming economic performance was not just a U.S. event. The consensus in the Eurozone had also been calling for a healthy acceleration. However, the necessary balance sheet repairs needed to allow banks to pass the Asset Quality Review test meant that lending to the region would be very hard to come by. Such a restriction of private credit, especially to the Small & Medium Sized Enterprises, is completely contrary to what is required for an economic expansion. The ensuing slowdown was not limited to the periphery, as even the German growth engine lost steam.

The most recent policy answer to the European growth problem created a new global narrative – divergent monetary policy in the developed world. At a time when the U.S. and U.K. have been winding down quantitative easing (“QE”) and talking about raising interest rates, Japan and Europe have been going the other way – either increasing the pace of QE or seeking alternative ways to implement QE policy. (Even the largest Emerging Market country (China) is adding stimulus through numerous channels.) This divergence of policy has resulted in a huge interest rate differential between sovereign bonds and has incentivized, in part, investors domiciled in countries with low yields to buy debt instruments in (relatively) higher interest bearing countries. This so called ‘tractor-beam’ effect has also contributed downward pressure to U.S. interest rates.

As is often the case, what the consensus was expecting to be the worst asset class for the coming year (i.e., 30-year Treasuries) turned out to be one of the best, especially after accounting for volatility. Can history repeat itself in 2015? It will be tough, at least for the long bond, given the challenges to attaining capital appreciation on top of the lower starting yield versus last year. Much of the 2015 narrative could be a continuation of the divergence in global monetary policy – does the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) and Bank of England start hiking rates in 2015? Does the European Central Bank start sovereign QE? How long does the Bank of Japan keep up its torrid pace of QE? While the answers to these questions may play out in due time, with no recession seen in site, Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC remains of the view that risk assets remain in a long-term bull market.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica High Yield Bond Class A returned 5.85%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index, returned 5.82%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund performed generally in-line with the Index for the year ended October 31, 2014. On the positive side, the Fund benefited from strong security selection across ratings categories. This was partially offset by our allocation decision, as the Fund’s underweight exposure to the BB segment of the High Yield (“HY”) market hurt performance. BB rated securities performed well, as the move lower in interest rates disproportionately benefited this sub-segment of the HY market. Looking at sector contributors and detractors, the Fund benefited from its positioning in Metals and Mining, Independent Energy, Oil Field Services, Brokerage, and Wirelines sectors. Sectors which detracted from performance included Gaming, Food and Beverage, Consumer Products, Media & Entertainment and Paper.

Despite historically low yields in the marketplace, we remain comfortable with the HY asset class largely due to the strong fundamental and technical backdrop. Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC’s forecast calls for stable growth into 2015, and we anticipate earnings will remain solid for most U.S. issuers. Balance sheets are generally conservatively positioned, and therefore, we expect defaults to remain low over the next 12 months, with our base case being a default rate below three percent.

From a valuation perspective, we remain constructive on the HY asset class at current levels, both relative to other fixed income assets and on an absolute return basis. We believe the combination of healthy fundamentals, low defaults, and low global interest rates should create demand for higher-yielding, shorter-duration assets such as high yield bonds.

For the year ended October 31, 2014 we have seen a flattening of the yield curve and positive performance from the municipal bond market. For the remainder of 2014, interest rates and market volatility will be important to monitor.

Puerto Rico, Detroit, and the bond insurers were the big headlines in the first quarter. Puerto Rico successfully placed $3.5 billion in general obligation bonds that were well received. Both Assured Guaranty and National Public Finance were upgraded by S&P to AA and AA- respectively. S&P downgraded Detroit Water and Sewer bonds to CCC. Puerto Rico continued to take up the majority of the headlines after legislation was passed allowing for the restructuring of Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (“PREPA”), Puerto Rico Aqueduct & Sewer Authority (“PRASA”), and Puerto Rico Highways & Transportation Authority (“PRHTA”). In response, Moody’s downgraded PREPA to Caa2 from Ba3, PRASA downgraded to Caa1 from Ba3, and PRHTA downgraded to Caa1 from Ba3. Puerto Rico’s General Obligation (“GO”) bonds were downgraded to B2 from Ba2. While it is still possible that insured Puerto Rico bonds will see full or near-full repayment, many buyers are concerned that if governments can change the rules once they might change them in the future. Continued headline risk from Puerto Rico may create opportunities across the municipal market and in the name itself. Any panic could offer further opportunities, especially if redemption’s ramp up from funds with large losses in Puerto Rico.

A common theme for 2014 was large inflows to municipal bond funds coupled with a low supply of new issues. The trend reversal from 2013 was due to falling interest rates and anemic tax-exempt supply. Between the first and second quarters of 2014 alone, inflows rose substantially. This trend into bond funds from equities could continue, especially if there is concern of a slowing economy and developing geopolitical risks.

Supply has remained tight as state and local governments have been reluctant to issue new bonds, and the majority of refunding has already occurred. Improving state budgets combined with the supply and demand imbalance have been factors contributing to more positive fundamentals of municipal bond funds. These same dynamics have also contributed to a compression of credit spreads.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, the Transamerica High Yield Muni Class A returned 16.70%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Barclays High Yield Municipal Index, returned 10.84%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund has been positioned to take on less interest rate risk than its benchmark during much of the past fiscal year, as we believe the potential risks currently outweigh the rewards. In this market environment, we have generally preferred to seek returns through specific credit stories as well as through value added trade execution. We have done this in an effort to position the Fund for a possible rising interest rate environment.

Over the course of the year, the Fund’s average credit quality has remained relatively constant at BBB. There was an increased exposure to higher quality municipal bonds in the period due to our more cautious views of the risk/rewards characteristic of high yield in this market environment. Looking ahead, there may be a reversal of that concentration should the right opportunities present themselves in lower rated credits.

Municipal bond prices can rise or fall depending on interest rates. Interest rate changes generally have a greater effect on long-term bond prices. All municipal bonds carry credit risk that the issuer will default or be unable to make timely payments of interest and principal. Generally, lower rated bonds carry more credit risk.

Investing in high-yield (junk) bond funds may be subject to greater volatility and risks as the income derived from these securities is not guaranteed and may be unpredictable and the value of these securities tends to decline when interest rates increases. Interest rates may go up, causing the value of the Fund’s investments to decline. Changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers and the creditworthiness of the issuers may significantly affect the value of a bond.

The Fund is classified as “non-diversified,” which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. To the extent the Fund invests its assets in fewer issuers, the Fund will be more susceptible to negative events.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Global equity markets rose during the year ended October 31, 2014. The U.S. market was particularly strong, reflecting the country’s continued economic recovery. After a slow start to the year due to the long winter, the U.S. economy continued to gain strength. This was not the case in most other parts of the world. The economies of Western Europe generally slowed since early 2014, and were reflected in the relatively poor performance of their equity markets. Emerging market shares were also relatively poor performers, reflecting economic and political stagnation (or worse) in many of these countries. The Japanese market performed well in local currency terms, but the weak yen limited gains to dollar-based investors.

The decoupling of the U.S., European and developing economies presents an obstacle to global economic growth. It is easy to overlook the fact that the European and U.S. economies are roughly the same size. It will be difficult for the U.S. to continue its recovery if European economies weaken substantially. The situation also presented a dilemma for policy makers of an accommodative central bank in Europe and an increasingly restrictive one in the U.S. One could liken the situation to a nearly full bathtub in which the hot and cold water are turned on simultaneously a lot of bubbles will be created but the temperature is unlikely to change much. The differing directions of monetary policy have important implications for economic growth, inflation and exchange rates.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Income & Growth Class A returned 3.29%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World Index Gross, returned 8.32%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital while providing current income through investment primarily in global equities. The sub-adviser’s philosophy is built around three investment characteristics: quality - return on invested capital, recurring revenues and strong industry position; financial strength - strong balance sheet, interest coverage and dividend coverage; and valuation - dividend yield, multiple of free sustainable free cash flow and earnings yield.

Identifying companies which meet all these criteria requires substantial research. Companies which meet the quality metrics are rarely available on valuation and yield levels, which are attractive for the strategy. Conversely, companies which sell at tempting yield levels almost never possess the quality or financial strength parameters which are required. This is one reason the sub-adviser typically limits the Fund to 50 well-researched stocks at a given time.

During the prior fiscal year, Belgian telecommunications services provider Belgacom SA was the top contributor to the Fund’s return. It was followed by U.S. midstream energy company Energy Transfer Partners, LP, Class B. The third largest contributor was British pharmaceutical firm AstraZeneca PLC (no longer held at year end). The biggest detractors of the Fund were U.S. pipeline company Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, LP, Australian Coca-Cola bottler Coca-Cola Amatil, Ltd., and offshore oil driller Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. None of the laggards remain in the Fund.

From a sector standpoint, Telecommunication Services, Financials and Consumer Discretionary shares were the biggest contributors to the Fund’s performance. Industrials, Energy and Consumer Staples were the biggest detractors. From a sector perspective, the Fund lagged the global benchmark primarily due to low weightings in the growth-oriented Technology and Health Care sectors. While the portfolio managers spent substantial time researching these sectors, they did not identify additional companies with the combination of quality and current income which they seek.

With equity markets at record highs and the prospect of interest rate increases in the not-too-distant future, there are substantial reasons for investors to be concerned about financial markets. In the year ahead, the portfolio managers expect European economies to be a drag on global growth. This may be offset somewhat by lower oil prices which will be a net positive for the global economy.

The sub-adviser believes the income focused, value driven philosophy of the fund may be well suited to an environment, which is likely to a more challenging one than has been seen in the past few years.

REITs are subject to a number of highly technical tax-related rules and requirements; and the failure to qualify as a REIT could result in corporate-level taxation, significantly reducing the return on an investment to the Fund.

Investments in MLPs involve risks that differ from investments in corporate issuers, including risks related to limited control, cash flow risks, dilution risks and risks related to the general partner’s right to require unitholders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price.

Investments in global/international markets involve risks not associated with U.S. markets, such as currency fluctuations, adverse social and political developments, and the relatively small size and lesser liquidity of the markets. Investing in high-yield securities may be subject to greater volatility and risks as the income derived from these securities is not guaranteed and may be unpredictable and the value of these securities tends to decline when interest rates increases.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Global inflation diverged meaningfully over the past year rising in the U.S., U.K., Japan, Latin America and parts of Asia while falling in Europe and China. U.S. Consumer Price Index inflation rose from 1.1% in October 2013 to 1.7% in September 2014. In contrast, European inflation was in free fall declining from 0.9% to 0.4% in the same period. Fear of deflation forced the European Central Bank to cut short-term rates to negative territory and install a new quantitative easing program that led to a precipitous drop in European bond yields. Longer-dated U.S. bond yields dropped as well, despite steady economic progress and a winding down of the asset purchase program by U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”). Divergent global monetary policy led to a significant increase in currency market volatility and meaningful appreciation of the U.S. dollar against most G-7 and Emerging Markets (“EM”) currencies between July and October 2014. During this four month period, oil prices also dropped to their lowest level since June 2012 pressured by higher U.S. shale gas production, weaker global demand, and a stronger U.S. dollar.

The 10 year Treasury bond yield ended October 2014 at 2.34%, down 0.22% from a year ago and 0.36% from March 1, 2014 (the launch date of the Fund). Lower interest rates globally had a positive impact on the Fund given the duration sensitivity of inflation-linked securities which more than offset the negative impact of lower oil prices on the breakeven rate of inflation securities. Within the credit sector, high yield experienced significant dislocation during the summer months on valuation concerns. Commodity and energy company bonds also were hit due to the weakness in global commodities. On the other hand, financial sector bonds performed well with a continued improvement in fundamentals. Overall credit recorded positive returns since the launch of the Fund thus benefiting the portfolio. Currency weakness negatively impacted the performance of non-domestic inflation-protected securities.

PERFORMANCE

For the period ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Inflation Opportunities Class A returned 1.01%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Barclays Global Inflation Linked Bond Index, returned 1.08%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund underperformed the benchmark from the March 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014. Superior asset and foreign exchange allocation along with security selection helped performance while short duration positioning hurt performance versus the benchmark. With the government sector (“core” allocation), the Fund maintained an overweight position in U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) versus the benchmark and underweight in non-domestic TIPS, particularly in Europe, given weak inflation and prospects of continued currency volatility. Within the credit sector (“opportunistic” allocation), the Fund’s greatest exposure was in the Financial sector, mostly in floating-rate securities. The Fund allocated less than 5% to high-yield given its less attractive valuation. Exposure to commodity bonds was also very low. Within the Emerging Market sector, which is permitted by the guidelines, exposure was limited to Brazil, Mexico and Turkey. We believe inflation remains stubbornly high in Brazil and remains an attractive market for inflation linked securities, both from a yield and total return perspective.

Top securities that had the greatest positive impact on the Fund were Brazilian linker due to local stagflation and Spanish and Italian linkers due to Eurozone disinflation and a weakening currency. Top securities that have the greatest negative impact were U.S. TIPS and U.K. linker due to an improving economy. Among sectors, overweight in financials, industrials, and government-related entities had the greatest positive impact. Across countries, U.K. and Brazil had the largest positive impact, while Eurozone had the largest negative impact.

Treasury futures are utilized to manage duration and currency forwards are used to hedge currency risk. Forward foreign currency transactions were accretive, while futures contracts were drag on performance.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan both announced intentions to increase economic stimulus in the face of softening growth and inflation. As a result, the U.S. dollar appreciated rapidly in September against the euro and yen, meaningfully impacting U.S. dollar-based investors in global equities. For the year ended October 31, 2014, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (the “Index”) posted a gain of 6.8% in local currency terms. However, U.S. dollar-based investors experienced a modest decline of (0.6)%.

Low interest rates and a slow-growth global economy formed the fundamental foundation for stocks. The summer of 2014 saw a minor correction in prices, especially in U.S. dollar terms, as investors grappled with geopolitical worries and valuations that have moved closer to long-term averages after three terrific years for stocks. At period end, the Index traded at 8.6x cash flow and 13.9x expected earnings over the next 12 months. With bullish sentiment tempered by news of war, epidemic and economic torpor, the climate for patient value investors improved. We believe our valuation discipline and focus on fundamentals should be rewarded in this market environment.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica International Equity Class I returned (0.20)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index, returned (0.17)%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund performed in line with the Index for the fiscal year. In Japan, equities fared better than global peers as the government continued to pull all available levers to ensure the fragile economic recovery continues. Although equities declined (0.70)% in U.S. dollar terms they rose 13.47% in local currency, well ahead of other benchmark regions in local currency terms. Stock selection resulted in regional portfolio holdings posting a positive return and the region was the top contributor to relative return, with FUJIFILM Holdings Corp. up the most. FUJIFILM Holdings Corp. continued to post solid earnings growth, resulting from cost-cutting efforts and improving sales in both its document and medical systems businesses.

Europe was the only regional detractor from relative return for the period. Companies on the continent had difficulty maintaining top-line growth as the euro strengthened through the first half of the year, making it difficult for firms to compete on price for goods sold outside of the region. French chemicals firm Arkema SA declined the most, as investors grew concerned by the company’s worse-than-expected weakness in the fluorinated gas industry and its large currency headwinds.

Strong stock selection in financials was the leading contributor to relative return on a sector basis. In general, global economies and financial markets showed stability for several quarters. Better credit metrics, an improving ability to deal with toxic assets and compelling valuations attracted investors’ attention to the sector. Cheung Kong Holdings, Ltd., a real-estate development company in Hong Kong, led the group on continued strong sales momentum. Utilities were also a top contributor with four of the Fund’s five positions outperforming the benchmark. Hong Kong-based Guangdong Investment, Ltd. was the top contributor for the sector and the Fund overall. After 19 years of no change, water tariffs are expected to rise in Hong Kong, where the rate is currently 50% lower than in Beijing. This is an opportunity for Guangdong Investment, Ltd. to raise supply prices to water distributors in Hong Kong.

The consumer staples sector was the primary detractor from relative return. Two holdings with exposure to Russia had a noticeable impact. For German retailer Metro AG, news of additional sanctions against Russia caused the company’s planned spin-off of its Russian cash-and-carry business to be delayed, despite positive results for the subsidiary. Danish brewer Carlsberg A/S, Class B also declined as investors grew concerned the company’s revenue growth may be adversely impacted by a sales decline in Russian markets.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica International Small Cap Value Class I2 returned (1.66)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Small Cap returned (1.69)%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund outperformed the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Small Cap Index for the year ended October 31, 2014. Japan was the top regional contributor primarily on strong stock selection in Consumer Discretionary and Health Care. In Consumer Discretionary, several Fund positions exceeded investor expectations despite the effects of the consumption tax increase that went into effect on April 1, 2014. In Health Care, Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. received Food and Drug Administration approval to market its toe fungus treatment in the U.S. The product, a topical treatment with fewer side effects and an easier delivery method than competing products, also received a higher-than-expected pricing allowance by Japanese regulators.

A small allocation to North America, a non-benchmark region, was the primary detractor to relative return. Exposure to a basket of Canadian energy-related companies weighed on portfolio returns, as stocks traded down with rapidly falling oil prices. Equities in Asia Ex-Japan were also a detractor as Fund holdings, primarily in Australia, underperformed the market. Reject Shop, Ltd. (no longer held at year end), a discount retailer, had worse-than-expected results for the 2013 holiday shopping period. The stock was the largest detractor from relative return in the region and was sold after the resignation of its CEO.

Health Care was the top contributor to relative return on a sector basis. In addition to Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., several additional holdings outperformed their benchmark peers with the portfolio sector up an average of 11.8% compared to the benchmark sector up 2.7%. In Denmark, vaccine manufacturer Bavarian Nordic A/S was also a top contributor on an announced licensing agreement with U.S.-based Johnson & Johnson. Stock selection in the Industrials sector also aided the Fund’s relative return. In the Netherlands, AerCap Holdings NV (no longer held at year end) announced the acquisition of International Lease Finance Corp. from AIG, making AerCap Holdings NV the largest global aircraft leasing firm. With investors cheering the news, we sold the stock on strength.

Stock selection in Financials was the primary detractor from a sector perspective. A position in Etalon Group, Ltd., a Russian homebuilder, listed in London, suffered the most as investors grew concerned over increasing sanctions placed on Russia as a result of unrest in Ukraine. Stock selection in Materials also lagged as a few portfolio positions experienced margin pressure from higher input costs. In Japan, Denki Kagaku Kogyo KK, a producer of specialty chemicals, declined the most, as the company has been pressured by high electricity costs.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

U. S. equity markets turned in their fifth consecutive annual gain, with the Russell 1000® Value Index (the “Index”) up 16.46% for the year ended October 31, 2014. The driving factors behind these persistent gains have remained fairly constant, namely aggressively accommodative policies by the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) and other central banks around the world, a corresponding very low interest rate environment, low consumer price inflation, and moderate but relatively steady growth in U.S. and overall world economic activity.

As the bull market has matured, it may have become somewhat more momentum driven, and we believe it has temporarily impacted our contra-momentum strategy. However, we have benefited from the market becoming more catalyst driven, with merger and acquisition activity strong and managements seeking to use cash flows in shareholder friendly ways such as share repurchases or business spinoffs.

When interest rates inevitably rise, we expect equities to be perceived to be a better investment opportunity than bonds and therefore have a bias for further advancement.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Large Cap Value Class A returned 12.09%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, returned 16.46%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund trailed the Index returns during the year ended October 31, 2014. Sector weights had limited net impact on relative performance; rather, our underperformance during this period came from stock selection. We believe the timing of catalysts has been delayed for some of our investments, and we remain confident in both our strategy and stock portfolio.

We pursue an intensive fundamental research strategy to identify individual investment ideas using a bottom up stock selection process. Our strategy emphasizes companies with leading competitive positions, strong balance sheets, healthy free cash flows that investor oriented managements will use to enhance shareholder value, and prospects for catalysts that can propel stock prices higher in the near to intermediate term. We furthermore seek companies that are down in price or have significantly underperformed the market averages. The Fund is diversified by industry and sector, and a sector overweight or underweight typically occurs only as a result of identifying more or fewer individual stock ideas in a given sector.

The top contributors to performance for the period were Apple, Inc., branded food company Pinnacle Foods, Inc., and pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co., Inc. (no longer held at year end). Apple, Inc. recovered to new highs as it benefited from a favorable product cycle, better profit margins on the new iPhones than most investors expected, and increasing willingness to use its very high cash generation to boost both its dividend and share repurchase program. Pinnacle Foods, Inc. is a recent IPO that has continued its successful strategy of acquiring and integrating second tier brands found in the grocery store. We owned Merck & Co., Inc. because we thought investors would give the stock a higher valuation once a series of new products were introduced. Once this happened, we sold the stock in August.

Top detractors from performance were iron ore miner Cliffs Natural Resources, Inc., private label soft drink company Cott Corp., and medical diagnostic equipment company Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Class A. Cliffs Natural Resources, Inc. saw activist investors install a new management dedicated to unlocking hidden asset value in the company, but has been hurt by substantial weakness in iron ore prices in the meantime. Cott Corp. was hurt by weak carbonated soft drink (“CSD”) demand. We still like its valuation, strategy to diversify beyond CSD, and opportunity to make acquisitions to transform the company. Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. was hurt by constrained research budgets for its customers, especially in Europe. We like its valuation versus peers, opportunity to gain market share through new products, and expectations that research spending will improve somewhat.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The U.S. stock market appears to be on stable footing as an environment characterized by low interest rates and a steadily-growing economy remains in place. The U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) has refrained from raising interest rates so far and is looking for a pick-up in wage growth to spur such action. Over the past 12 months, improvements in U.S. manufacturing, strong corporate earnings, falling headline unemployment, and steady growth in nonfarm payrolls all show evidence of a healing economy.

However, the Fed will likely wait for real wage growth, the final phase in a labor market recovery, to actually pull back on the extremely accommodative low interest rate policy currently in place. Additionally, advances in U.S. energy production and efficiency have led to material decline in crude oil prices. The lower fuel costs create economic tailwinds for U.S. consumer sentiment and spending heading into the holiday season.

Some risks to the U.S. economy do remain in place including the potential for a global growth slowdown, conflict between Russia and Ukraine, high debt and deflationary pressures in the Eurozone, and the over reliance on central bank support in many of the world’s largest economies as well as others. Mindful of such risks, we remain fully invested in quality growth companies based on our diligent fundamental analysis.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Mid Cap Growth Class A returned 9.50%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Growth Index, returned 14.59%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund was impacted in part by combination of macroeconomic and geopolitical events as well as by individual security selection within the strategy. While the equities within the strategy are typically higher-quality growth stocks, they were challenged in the near term due to detracting market actions.

The Fund underperformed its benchmark during the year ended October 31, 2014.

The Fund, on a total return basis, generated positive performance from the Consumer Discretionary, Energy and Financial sectors. While the Health Care, Consumer Staples, Industrials, Technology and Telecommunications sectors detracted from overall Fund performance for the respective time period. The Fund did not have any allocation the Utilities sector.

During the period, the largest contribution to performance came from Synaptics, Inc., which benefited from strength in its mobile phone business including their touchscreen products and newly acquired finger print identification products. The second biggest contributor during the period was PTC, Inc. PTC, Inc.’s strong product offerings and a global economic recovery allowed the company to accelerate its growth rate in its core computer-aided design and product lifecycle management lines of businesses. Furthermore, through cost containment, the company was able to significantly increase its profit margins. KLA-Tencor Corp. also contributed to the performance during the period. The company benefited from a rebound in global spending on semiconductor manufacturing equipment, in addition to a shareholder-friendly capital allocation policy.

On the other hand, Trimble Navigation, Ltd. detracted from the performance during the quarter. The company experienced significant weakness in its agricultural-related businesses, due in part to the decline in many agricultural commodities during the year. While this weakness was partially offset by relative strength in the company’s engineering and construction business, earnings still declined for the year pressuring the stock. Rock-Tenn Co., Class A (no longer held at year end) also detracted from performance during the period. After a solid year in 2013, containerboard volumes didn’t recover in 2014. In addition, box volumes are running well below trend for an economic recovery, which forced the company to idle plants to maintain industry pricing and the stock price has suffered as a result.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Over the last six months the equity markets in the U.S. have been driven by uncertainty over the fragile economic recovery coupled with investor concerns over the timing and length of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (“Fed”) drawdown of the monumental stimulus program. Global issues further exacerbated the situation, including turmoil in the Middle East and eastern Europe, political tensions in Hong Kong, the human tragedy of Ebola, strained sovereign balance sheets and persistent disinflation across most of the world.

Despite the market’s vacillations, the Russell Midcap® Value Index is up 5.9% for the last six months and an average of 19.2% per year for the last five years, ahead of its large and small cap peers. As a result stock prices have risen faster than earnings, leading to multiple expansions. The benchmark’s valuation multiples on earnings, book value, sales, and growth are well above their long-term average. This may suggest the market expects earnings growth to accelerate. However, with profit margins at near-record levels, companies should drive top-line revenue growth or they may find it difficult to keep pace with investor expectations. In this environment, we expect our valuation discipline and focus on fundamentals to be rewarded.

PERFORMANCE

For the period from inception April 30, 2014 through October 31, 2014, Transamerica Mid Cap Value Opportunities Class A returned 7.62%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index, returned 6.55%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund has outperformed the Russell Midcap® Value Index net of fees since inception on April 30, 2014 primarily from strong stock selection in the Technology, Consumer Discretionary and Utilities sectors. An overweight position and strong stock selection in Technology made the sector the top contributor to relative return. Storage and data management firm NetApp, Inc. was the top contributor. After several quarters of sluggish growth, the company reported results above expectations on renewed growth in U.S. enterprise spending and a strong new product cycle. In the Consumer Discretionary sector, stock selection resulted in three Fund holdings being up more than 25%. While we see compelling valuations and good long-term earnings power in media and select areas of retail, it was gaming that took the lead this period. International Game Technology (no longer held at period end), a manufacturer of electronic casino gaming equipment, was the Fund’s second best contributor on its announced acquisition by an Italian competitor. The Utilities sector continues to present an attractive combination of dividend yield and steady earnings growth. Windstream Holdings, Inc. (no longer held at period end) was the top contributor in the group after announcing plans to spin-off its real estate assets into a tax-advantaged publically traded Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”).

Stock selection in the Financials sector was the main detractor from relative performance. This is attributable to the Fund’s underweight in REITs, the largest component of the sector and the top performing industry for the period. Additionally, the Fund’s position in Ocwen Financial Corp., Class B was a significant drag on performance as the company traded lower after missing earnings expectations in July. Despite top-line growth and strong mortgage servicing metrics, uncertainties about the continued escalation of costs to meet new regulatory requirements have weighed on the industry. In the Energy sector, stocks traded in sympathy with rapidly declining oil prices. It was the worst performing sector for both the Fund and the benchmark. Stock selection in Energy XXI Bermuda, Ltd. was the Fund’s primary detractor to return as the company faced headwinds integrating the recent acquisition of EPL Corp. and significantly underperformed its peers. Finally, in Containers & Packaging, both of the Fund’s holdings underperformed the benchmark for the period. Rexam PLC was the primary detractor as investors worried about the aluminum can manufacturer’s exposure to Russia and emerging markets.

Transamerica MLP & Energy Income

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Recent headlines have focused on the fall of the West Texas Intermediate crude oil spot price from approximately $105/bbl to under $80/bbl over the past four months. While this contributed to great volatility within the energy sector, we find it important to note that most companies in the energy infrastructure sector have limited direct exposure to oil prices (about 70-75% of master limited partnership (“MLPs”) activities are related to natural gas). In addition, most MLPs have migrated their business models to be more fee-based.

Mergers, acquisitions, and restructuring are the prevailing themes, highlighted by the announced restructuring of the Kinder Morgan family of companies that will result in Kinder Morgan, Inc. acquiring all outstanding units of Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, LP, El Paso Pipeline Partners, LP, and Kinder Morgan Management LLC in a cash and stock transaction valued at $71 billion. The combined effect of the transaction eliminates incentive distribution rights, lowers equity and debt capital costs, and affects a step-up in depreciation. This enables Kinder Morgan, Inc. to sustainably increase its dividend growth at nearly twice the rate Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, LP could have managed with the same assets, and positions the company to be highly competitive in the midstream energy consolidation theme we see emerging. Our significant exposure to the Kinder Morgan complex was consequently one of largest contributors to the Fund’s return.

Shifting focus to long-term fundamentals, shale drilling has boosted U.S. oil output to the highest level since 1986 and by next year is expected to reduce petroleum imports to the lowest level since 1968. The fundamental story underpinning growth in the MLP sector remains robust, driven by rising shale production and the corresponding demand for energy infrastructure investments required to support those growing volumes.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica MLP & Energy Income Class A returned 16.36%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the S&P 500® and the Transamerica MLP & Energy Income Blended Benchmark (“Blended Benchmark”), returned 17.27% and 8.50%, respectively.

The Blended Benchmark is comprised of the Alerian MLP Index (50%) and the Barclays Investment-Grade Credit Index (50%).

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund generated strong absolute returns during the year ended October 31, 2014, reflecting attractive underlying fundamentals, visible distribution growth, and M&A activity in the energy infrastructure sector. The latter half of the year was characterized by an increase in volatility as the price of crude oil declined, hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, geopolitical concerns in the Middle East and worries about global growth, which drove investors to reduce risk in their portfolios. Despite these concerns, the Fund achieved a healthy return in the last six months of the fiscal year.

While company fundamentals remained strong (as indicated by strong continuing operating results and distribution growth), we were more opportunistic when putting capital to work given the increase in volatility during the latter half of the fiscal year. Within sub-sectors in the energy infrastructure space, the strongest were General Partners / C-corps, with both Shipping and Canadian Infrastructure lagging. Our belief that M&A activity would pick up played out with a host of announced mergers and restructuring transactions. This resulted in the strongest portfolio-level contributions to return from our investments in Williams Cos., Inc. and Kinder Morgan Management LLC as both positions were top-5 positions in the Fund to begin the year. Transamerica MLP & Energy Income uses derivatives primarily in a covered call writing strategy. This helps to generate additional income for the Fund and can help reduce portfolio-level volatility. Written options contributed positively to performance.

Investments in MLPs involve risks that differ from investments in corporate issuers, including risks related to limited control, cash flow risks, dilution risks and risks related to the general partner’s right to require unit holders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price. The energy industries can be significantly affected by fluctuations in energy prices and supply and demand of energy fuels, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects, and tax and other government regulations.

The Fund is subject to certain MLP tax risks. Risks associated with accounting for deferred tax liability could materially impact the net asset value. An investment in the Fund does not offer the same tax benefits of a direct investment in a MLP.

The Fund is classified as “non-diversified,” which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. To the extent the Fund invests its assets in fewer issuers, the Fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC

The year ended October 31, 2014 can be summarized as great expectations that were never met. This narrative applies most directly to the economic recovery and the expected sell-off in fixed income markets, especially long duration assets.

The expectations were building throughout 2013 as the 10-year Treasury rate almost doubled, briefly piercing the 3% threshold. This move was intertwined with the consensus thinking that the growth rate of the U.S. economy was finally going to hit terminal velocity of close to three percent. All was perceived to be going as planned until Mother Nature chimed in. The cold weather and snow in the first quarter of this year sent inventory accumulation into hibernation. What magnified the weather event is that in the second half of 2013, factories had been participating in the consensus view that the economy was accelerating by rapidly ramping up their inventories in anticipation of higher demand in 2014. The literal freeze in economic activity in the first quarter of 2014 created such a drag that it was quickly made apparent that the full-year growth numbers were not going to be attainable.

The underwhelming economic performance was not just a U.S. event. The consensus in the Eurozone had also been calling for a healthy acceleration. However, the necessary balance sheet repairs needed to allow banks to pass the Asset Quality Review test meant that lending to the region would be very hard to come by. Such a restriction of private credit, especially to the Small & Medium Sized Enterprises, is completely contrary to what is required for an economic expansion. The ensuing slowdown was not limited to the periphery, as even the German growth engine lost steam.

The most recent policy answer to the European growth problem created a new global narrative – divergent monetary policy in the developed world. At a time when the U.S. and U.K. have been winding down quantitative easing (“QE”) and talking about raising interest rates, Japan and Europe have been going the other way – either increasing the pace of QE or seeking alternative ways to implement QE policy. (Even the largest Emerging Market country (China) is adding stimulus through numerous channels.) This divergence of policy has resulted in a huge interest rate differential between sovereign bonds and has incentivized, in part, investors domiciled in countries with low yields to buy debt instruments in (relatively) higher interest bearing countries. This so called ‘tractor-beam’ effect has also contributed downward pressure to U.S. interest rates.

As is often the case, what the consensus was expecting to be the worst asset class for the coming year (i.e., 30-year Treasuries) turned out to be one of the best, especially after accounting for volatility. Can history repeat itself in 2015? It will be tough, at least for the long bond, given the challenges to attaining capital appreciation on top of the lower starting yield versus last year. Much of the 2015 narrative could be a continuation of the divergence in global monetary policy – does the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) and Bank of England start hiking rates in 2015? Does the European Central Bank start sovereign QE? How long does the Bank of Japan keep up its torrid pace of QE? While the answers to these questions may play out in due time, with no recession seen in site, Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC remains of the view that risk assets remain in a long-term bull market.

Early in the fiscal year, U.S. equity markets rallied as S&P 500® company quarterly earnings hit their third-consecutive record, offsetting earlier concerns about a 16-day shutdown of the U.S. government and relentless debate over when the Fed would begin reducing the pace of its bond-buying program. A proposal introduced by the U.S. Senate was passed at the last minute, funding the U.S. government through January 2014 and extending the debt ceiling to that February. The most important Fed development at that time was the decision to begin reducing the pace of asset purchases from $85 billion per month to $75 billion per month.

Choppier markets followed in subsequent months, as investors confronted volatility in emerging markets, a brutally harsh winter in the U.S., Russian occupation of Ukraine and signals from the Fed that interest rates could rise sooner than expected. Markets eventually settled down as Crimean citizens voted to join Russia without resistance, and investors came to realize that when the Fed did decide to raise interest rates, it would be a long time before policy became restrictive. March also saw a vicious rotation in the market as stocks with higher-growth expectations, such as biotechnology and internet companies, sold off significantly in favor of stocks with more attractive valuations, such as banks and mature technology companies.

By the middle of the fiscal year, investors began to question the strength of the global economy, as bond yields across the developed world continued to fall. Adding to investor anxiety were ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine and increasing insurgency in Iraq. Equity markets regained their footing in mid-May, as economic releases pointed to a U.S. economy that was much stronger than the initial U.S. Gross Domestic Product number suggested. Global monetary policy was also supportive of markets, particularly in June, as the Fed continued to reinforce continued low interest rate levels while the European Central Bank launched a new facility designed to encourage bank lending.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT (continued)

 

Towards the end of the fiscal year, U.S. equity indexes hit new highs. However, stocks later sold off over the fiscal year’s final two weeks, as weaker economic data from Europe and China reignited concerns over global growth. In the U.S., the question over the timing of the Fed’s first interest rate hike was also cause for volatility. Despite this, U.S. corporations posted record operating earnings, helped in part by greater revenue growth. Meanwhile, the Fed was able to calm fears over an early rise in interest rates by reiterating its pledge to not raise interest rates until a “considerable time” has passed after the end of its asset purchases.

October was a wild ride for U.S. equity markets. The S&P 500® fell 7.4% from its September 18 high, reaching a low of 1,862.49 on October 15, as investors feared that signs of a sharp reversal in the German economic outlook could increase the likelihood that the Eurozone could fall back in recession. Markets staged an impressive rebound during the back half of the month on strong corporate earnings and encouraging U.S. economic data. On the final trading day of the month, the index made its 35th new closing high of 2014, finishing at 2,018.05 on the heels of a surprise announcement by the Bank of Japan indicating that the central bank would increase its bond purchasing program.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Multi-Managed Balanced Class A returned 12.11%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the S&P 500® and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 17.27% and 4.14%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC

The Fund underperformed S&P 500® from its inception date of April 1, 2014 through its year end of October 31, 2014. The biggest driver of performance was our short duration positioning and underweighting of U.S. Treasuries and Agency Mortgage Backed Securities (“MBS”). Our overweighting of various spread products added positively to returns but did not deliver enough positive total return to offset the difference. We continue to position the Fund with a shorter than index duration and an underweight to Treasuries due to our belief that the current low rates offer minimal value.

Corporate bonds appeared to benefit from strong corporate profitability and robust market technicals. However, given the increase in merger and acquisition activity this year, diligence to avoid idiosyncratic risks becomes more paramount. Our overweighting of financials benefited during the period, as we have seen credit spreads tighten due to the improved environment for asset quality and regulations supporting credit quality. We continued to be selective in our emerging markets positioning, investing mostly in highly rated solid corporate credit.

Agency MBS outperformed their duration matched Treasuries, and our underweight was a negative contribution to performance. We continued to invest in agency mortgage dollar rolls which are helped by the Fed’s balance sheet policies and non-agency MBS re-REMICs, which have benefited from the extra yield and positive technicals. Due to the Fed’s taper of MBS purchases, we intend to remain underweight Agency MBS given our expectation of deteriorating technicals and widening spreads with their reduced role in the market. We also prefer other securitized segments, and we intend to focus on niche sectors in Asset Backed Securities (“ABS”) and select Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (“CMBS”).

While we do not believe that spreads on risky assets offer the return opportunities they once did, our analysis suggests that there are still excess yield opportunities available. We have continued to position the Fund in corporate credit and structured securities to pursue potential opportunities to gain excess yield while remaining cautious around duration (i.e., interest rate) risks.

J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.

The Fund outperformed Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index during the year ended October 31, 2014. Stock selection in the Retail, Basic Materials and Consumer Cyclical sectors added value while the Consumer Staples, Pharmaceutical/Medical Technology and Real Estate Investment Trust sectors detracted from returns.

Among contributors, an overweight position in Union Pacific Corp. added value. The stock outperformed throughout the year on strong pricing, share buybacks, improved operating metrics and higher volumes. We remain positive on the name, as we see pricing growth continuing to accelerate due to tight network capacity and legacy re-pricing. Within pharmaceutical/medical technology, an underweight in Pfizer, Inc. helped returns. The stock sold off later in the fiscal year after AstraZeneca thwarted the pharmaceutical company’s takeover attempt. We continue to think that Pfizer, Inc.‘s revenue and operating margin expectations are too high and believe that its

STRATEGY REVIEW (continued)

 

pipeline is underwhelming. The company appears to be overvalued, and we see better opportunities elsewhere in the sector. In Basic Materials, shares of Alcoa, Inc. advanced throughout the year. Ongoing smelter closures supported aluminum prices, and we expect this trend to continue. A tight scrap market and sell-side analysts’ forecasts for large aluminum deficits also point to an aluminum supply shortage and potentially higher aluminum prices.

On the negative side, within the industrial cyclical sector, an overweight position in Fluor Corp. hurt performance, as management indicated that earnings would come in at the low end of guidance. The stock also saw choppiness amid concerns over whether order backlogs would be realized as revenue. However, we remain bullish on Fluor Corp.’s exposure to the oil and gas and petrochemical businesses, which we believe will be a driver going forward, especially in the U.S. and in China. In the Pharmaceutical/Medical Technology sector, our overweight position in Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. weighed on returns. Shares suffered particularly after Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. reported disappointing data for its lung cancer treatment. However, we see these concerns as near-term noise that should not significantly change the opportunity. We remain positive on the name. Lastly, within industrial cyclical, an overweight position in Ensco PLC, Class A detracted from results. The stock underperformed as offshore drillers have been challenged with an oversupplied market, leading to lower utilization, though we still like the high-quality name.

The Fund uses derivatives to hedge cash positions. The derivatives had a slight positive impact on performance.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Opportunistic Allocation Class A returned 4.38%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the S&P 500® and the Transamerica Opportunistic Allocation Blended Benchmark returned 17.27% and 11.93%, respectively.

The Blended Benchmark is comprised of S&P 500® (60%) and the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index (40%).

STRATEGY REVIEW

In general, over the course of the fiscal year, the Fund was overweight in long-duration municipal bond closed-end funds. These holdings severally performed well, because interest rates declined significantly over the period, and the closed-end funds’ discounts to Net Asset Value (“NAV”) decreased. The Fund’s equity exposure also generally helped performance through the fiscal year. However, in the period from September to mid-October 2014, the Fund lost approximately 8% as a result of declines in the equity market, and expansion of the closed-end funds’ discounts to NAV. At that point we reallocated the Fund, but because many of the closed-end fund’s discounts to NAV were still deteriorating, few potential holdings passed our selection criteria. As a result, we significantly reduced the Fund’s equity exposure. The stock market generally rebounded through the end of October 2014, but the Fund was not able to fully participate in that rebound due to our equity underweight. As a result of the rebound, more potential holdings became acceptable, and consequently, the Fund is now back to being fully invested.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Short-Term Bond Class I2 returned 2.18%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate & Government 1-3 Years Index, returned 0.92%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund maintained a higher yield and achieved a higher total return than the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate & Government 1-3 Years Index for the year ended October 31, 2014. The primary driver was our overweighting of spread products and significant underweighting of Treasury and Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities (“MBS”). Overweight positioning in corporate bonds and out-of-index purchases in securitized bonds contributed to our additional yield versus the benchmark, while curve roll-down and sector/security selection added to our performance. Additionally, we maintained an underweight to interest-sensitive areas of the market (Treasuries and Agencies), which also favorably impacted performance.

Corporate bonds benefited from spread compression and strong market technicals. Throughout the year ended October 31, 2014, we maintained our overweight within the Financial sector in select bank and insurance company bonds. We continue to believe their repaired balance sheets and increased regulatory scrutiny has made them better capitalized and more stable companies since the financial crisis of 2008. We maintained an underweight to the metals and mining sector, as we believe the continued slowing in global growth will negatively impact these companies and the bonds could be relative underperformers. We increased our exposure to investment grade floating-rate credit. Although the relatively low yield offered on these bonds was a bit of a drag on performance, we believe the Fund will be in a better position to perform well when rates start to rise.

STRATEGY REVIEW (continued)

 

Within securitized sectors, we continued to add investment grade rated Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (“CMBS”) and esoteric Asset-Backed Securities (“ABS”). As noted above, we added to our investment grade floating-rate exposure in securitized bonds to better position the Fund to perform well in a rising interest rate environment. We favored select single-borrower CMBS deals where we can leverage our internal commercial real estate valuation group. Additionally, we increased our exposure to the ABS sector with bonds collateralized by timeshares. This sector performed well through the last crisis.

Our duration positioning, which remained lower than the benchmark, had a positive relative impact on the Fund as short Treasury yields increased. With the Fed narrative skewed towards less accommodation and ultimately tightening, we believe rates may continue to have an upward pressure bias to them and, as such, we anticipate keeping our short duration positioning against the benchmark.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The year overall saw generally healthy market conditions for domestic small cap equities, with the Russell 2000® Index advancing modestly for the period. The favorable market action mirrored a constructive U.S. economic environment, which saw further expansion after a slow start to the calendar year due to severe winter weather conditions. U.S. Gross Domestic Product actually turned negative in the first quarter of 2014, as a winter freeze was felt deep into the South. However, domestic industrial activities picked up through the remainder of the year and led the economy back. This was seen in railroad, automobile, and housing data, all of which demonstrated strength during the past 12 months, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of solid business sentiment and spending levels. Consumer confidence improved as well, but this did not translate to widespread traffic gains at retailers, which saw mixed results overall.

Meanwhile, the U.S. economy faced headwinds from abroad in the last year, as weaker economic conditions in Europe, China and emerging markets generally became constraints. Aside from the obvious challenges, the slowdown in foreign markets has posed for U.S. multinationals and their trading partners, this dynamic has also had a pronounced effect on global interest rates. The domestic yield curve was by no means immune from this trend, which served to focus investors on stocks with high dividend yields. In fact, the highest-yielding quintile of stocks within the Russell 2000® Index were up almost twice as much as the index overall during the period. Given the cross currents in the economic backdrop over the period, investors also sought comfort in companies with earnings, as they materially outperformed their loss-making counterparts.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Small Cap Core Class A returned 8.18%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index, returned 8.06%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Substantial academic and empirical research has shown the existence of a number of market anomalies that can be profitably exploited by a disciplined approach to security selection and portfolio construction. We believe the ultimate strength of our strategy lies in its ability to produce a portfolio that, in aggregate, maintains objective and economically-meaningful exposures to the factors our research has shown to be indicative of prospective outperformance.

The Fund outperformed its benchmark during the year ended October 31, 2014.

The outperformance of the Fund during this time frame is attributable to our stock selections, as the stocks in our Fund outperformed their counterparts in the benchmark in seven of the 10 economic sectors. Our holdings in the Energy sector added the most value, followed by those in the Information Technology and Materials sectors. The only sector where our holdings meaningfully detracted from results was Consumer Discretionary. From a sector allocation standpoint, our overweight to the Energy sector served to reduce our outperformance during the period.

Our stock selection model was effective at both identifying outperforming issues and avoiding underperformers, as those stocks in the top quintile of our ranking system outperformed those in the bottom quintile by a wide margin. Within our overall framework, our valuation and capital deployment measures proved to be the most helpful stock selection tools, as investors generally favored issues with lower valuation and more conservative capital use metrics. Our Fund also benefited from investors preference for companies with earnings. The relative underperformance of loss-making companies had a bigger negative impact on the benchmark than it did on our portfolio due to the Index’s larger exposure to these companies. Finally, our Fund had a greater proportion of its assets in the top quintile of companies sorted by earnings growth over the trailing 12 months. This served as a tailwind to relative performance as these stocks materially outperformed.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The stock market has had a great run since the nadir in March 2009. Due to the length of this market cycle, investors have naturally asked whether the bull market is over. Our view is that the bull market is maturing. There has not yet been an economic boom and while valuations are higher, they have not reached levels of extreme exuberance. Core inflation rates are below the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (“Fed”) two percent target, and real Gross Domestic Product growth has not been consistently strong. Rather, the ocean of liquidity pumped by the Fed has fueled outsized performance by the most speculative asset classes. Now that tapering has ended, and there is a heightened volume of discussion by the Fed on higher rates, investors are keenly focused on sustainable growth and valuation. Therefore, we believe that as this market cycle matures there will be a renewed focus on quality stocks. During these periods of transition, our focus on fundamentals and valuation should exhibit differentiation. We continue to believe that a focus on innovative companies that are experiencing growing demand for their products and services should lead to superior returns and portfolio success.

Lower quality, speculative companies led the market in 2013 and early 2014. This trend was particularly evident in December 2013 and January 2014. As this market has begun to mature, quality has begun to exhibit leadership, and large cap stocks have begun to outperform the stocks of smaller companies.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Small Cap Growth Class A returned 4.04%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Growth Index, returned 8.26%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its benchmark during the year ended October 31, 2014.

Looking at the past fiscal year, most of the relative underperformance occurred in December 2013 and January 2014. During these two months, speculative stocks outperformed and the Fund was out of sync with the market. During the month of January, small cap pharmaceutical and biotechnology stocks in particular demonstrated significant outperformance. As a reminder, as part of our investment process, we avoid companies that are unprofitable and most small cap pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies fit this profile. In our view, these sorts of speculative rallies tend to be temporary in nature. This latest episode was no exception as the Fund outperformed from the beginning of February through the end of October 2014.

From a sector perspective, the two weakest performers on a relative basis over the past fiscal year were Technology and Producer Durables. On the positive side, the Health Care and Financial Services sectors were the two strongest performers for the year.

Akorn, Inc., Class A, an ophthalmic and injectable pharmaceutical company, was the largest contributor to Fund performance. The strength was attributable to better financial results and accretive acquisitions over the year. The second largest contributor to performance was Centene Corp., a managed care provider with a focus on Medicaid-related programs. The company has benefited meaningfully in the past year from the expansion of Medicaid programs in the U.S.

The biggest detractor from performance was Comstock Resources, Inc., an exploration and production company with operations focused onshore in the U.S. The biggest reason for the decline in the stock was the significant decline in oil prices from a peak in mid-June to late October 2014.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The past year has been sporadic. At the end of 2013 markets were resilient to say the least as the upward climb continued despite the best efforts of many macro events. As a result of the markets’ strength, Price to Earnings (“P/E”) multiples for small caps were trading at their highest levels since 2007. In the first quarter of 2014 markets struggled to find direction as stocks posted modest declines in January followed by gains in February and early March. During the second quarter, the Russell 2000® Value Index (the “Index”) corrected from early April through mid-May, but then proceeded to climb upward and finished the second quarter at an all-time high. The Index corrected during the third quarter, but partially recovered in October 2014.

The end of the fiscal year was difficult for equities, small caps in particular. Many of the geopolitical concerns that existed earlier this year remain, while some new concerns replaced others. The markets digested another conflict between Israel and Hamas, ongoing unrest in the Middle East, and the fighting between Russia and Ukraine among others. Here in the U.S., the economic trends have not changed much – it remains uninspiring with a lack of direction. Steel production and auto sales were strong, and job growth ticked up slightly. On the other hand, the housing market sputtered a bit and commentary from many of our companies has been cautious.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Small Cap Value Class A returned 4.99%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index, returned 7.89%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund seeks capital appreciation through value-oriented stock selection, and employs a bottom-up strategy of buying stocks below intrinsic value and selling stocks as they become fully price, have a change in thesis, or if a better opportunity exists.

Transamerica Small Cap Value underperformed its benchmark during the year ended October 31, 2014.

During the period, the Fund’s stock selection was negative. Stock selection was positive/neutral in six of 10 sectors, with Industrials, Information Technology, and Health Care performing the best. This was offset by negative stock selection in four sectors, with Financials, Consumer Staples and Consumer Discretionary performing the worst.

The largest contributor to performance came from Janus Capital Group, Inc., an asset management holding company. Select Comfort Corp. also positively contributed to the performance. The company offers innovative and individualized sleep solutions including a complete line of Sleep Number beds through its own retail stores and website.

The largest detractor from performance during the period came from Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc., Class A, a developer and distributor of anti-aging personal care products and nutritional supplements. The second largest detractor was Ascena Retail Group, Inc., Class B, a national specialty retailer of apparel for women and teen girls. GrafTech International, Ltd., which is a manufacturer of graphite electrodes, products essential to the production of electric arc furnace steel and various other ferrous and nonferrous metals, also detracted from the performance during the period.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The Fund’s absolute performance was boosted by healthy market conditions for the domestic equity markets. The favorable market action mirrored a constructive U.S. economic environment, which saw further expansion after a slow start to the calendar year due to severe winter weather conditions. U.S. Gross Domestic Product actually turned negative in the first quarter of 2014, as a winter freeze was felt deep into the South. At the time, our bottom-up investment research suggested that the economy was well positioned for the resumption of growth due to a healthy supply chain poised for reacceleration with only a small uptick in demand. Our analysis proved prescient, as domestic industrial activity did, indeed, pick up and lead the economy back In fact, railroad, automobile, and housing data all demonstrated strength during the past 12 months, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of solid business sentiment and spending levels. Consumer confidence improved as well, but this did not translate to widespread traffic gains at retailers, which saw mixed results overall.

Meanwhile, the U.S. economy saw headwinds from abroad in the last year, as weaker economic conditions in Europe, China and emerging markets generally became constraints. Aside from the obvious challenges, the slowdown in foreign markets has posed for U.S. multinationals and their trading partners, this dynamic has also had a pronounced effect on global interest rates. The domestic yield curve was by no means immune from this trend, which had served to focus investors on stocks with high dividend yields and not necessarily those with improving underlying company-level fundamentals.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Small/Mid Cap Value Class A returned 8.13%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 2500® Value Index, returned 10.23%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its benchmark during the year ended October 31, 2014.

Wall Street’s desire for yield over some of the fundamentals we rely upon in our investment discipline hurt the Fund’s performance on a relative basis. Our stock selection process works best when investors differentiate one stock from another on the basis of metrics, such as earnings and estimate revisions, not dividend yield. Instead, we saw valuation spreads between growth- and value-oriented investments actually contract in the past 12 months from already low levels entering the fiscal year, and investor appetite for yield played no small role there. In fact, the top 20% dividend payers in the Index (calculated by their yields) actually outperformed materially during the 12-month period. Given the historically high valuations of Utilities and Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) as indicated by our multifactor valuation methodology, we have been, and remain, underweight this particular category of equities. Many individual stocks held in the Fund were likewise hurt by the protracted decline in interest rates, such as our regional banks and life insurance companies. Accordingly, our sector allocation and relative stock selection was negative in Financials.

Sector allocation did have a slight positive impact to our relative performance overall during the past 12 months, our underweight to REITs and Utilities notwithstanding. Our overweight to Health Care was materially beneficial. Health Care stocks were up significantly, as the Affordable Care Act’s implementation was a driver of incremental business for many companies in the group.

Strong selection within the Health Care, Consumer Staples and Information Technology sectors was also positive for our results relative to the benchmark, but stock selection was negative overall. Along with Financials, selection in the Consumer Discretionary sector was unfavorable.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Since the Fund’s inception on March 3, 2014, the broad equity market as represented by the S&P 500® is up, the broad preferred stock market as represented by the iShares U.S. Preferred Stock ETF is up and the broad high yield credit market as represented by the iShares iBoxx High Yield Corporate Bond ETF is up. All three asset classes however saw significant volatility during the period with a minor pullback in early August followed by a more severe selloff in September. The S&P 500® and the iShares U.S. Preferred Stock ETF rebounded in October closing the month very close to the highs for the year. iShares iBoxx High Yield Corporate Bond ETF however rebounded less in October and is modestly lower than the high reached in June 2014.

Global macroeconomic uncertainty, concerns surrounding monetary policy, and domestic Ebola fears hit the market simultaneously in late September sending all ‘risk-on’ markets lower. This volatility, which we view as short-term and emotional in nature, more often than not presents opportunity with regard to portfolio management. We do realize we need to be concerned with the weak Euro region, the strengthening dollar due to opposing central bank actions, and the chance Ebola worsens but we also know that during these periods the baby often gets thrown out with the bathwater.

PERFORMANCE

For the period from inception March 1, 2014 through October 31, 2014, Transamerica Strategic High Income Class A returned 4.99%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the S&P 500® Index and Transamerica Strategic High Income Blended Benchmark, returned 9.94% and 6.94%, respectively.

As volatility crept into the credit market in early September, we actively raised cash not only protecting the Fund but also giving us the dry powder needed to take advantage of market opportunities. We found compelling opportunities in both Technology and Consumer Discretionary on the equity side. In credit, we took advantage of forced selling by the ETFs to add securities we feel were mispriced offering great yield and strong risk/reward profiles.

In equities, Technology and Consumer Discretionary were the sectors contributing the most to relative return for the period. Fund holdings in Apple, Inc., Intel Corp., and Microsoft Corp. all performed well with the introduction of the iPhone 6 and Windows 10. An underweight to the Consumer Discretionary sector and favorable stock selection, were beneficial. Fund holding, Whirlpool Corp., bucked the trend as many stocks in this sector lagged the benchmark as concern of global events mounted.

The largest detractor from performance for the period was poor stock selection in Financials and Producer Durables. Copa Holding SA, Class A, a Panamanian based airline, posted poor results as economic conditions worsened in Venezuela and the company’s ability to continue ongoing operations in this region became uncertain. High dividend paying financial stocks, Annaly Capital Management, Inc. and New York Community Bancorp, Inc., underperformed as well with expectations of higher interest rates looming.

In credit, the Funds’ allocation to preferred stock was the largest contributor to return as long term interest rates fell during the period. Preferred equity of Corporate Office Properties Trust, Series L, PartnerRe, Ltd., Series E, and Allstate Corp., Series C were the best performers. The largest detractors from performance in credit came from the high yield sector. Energy bonds were hit with the sell-off in oil and three of our more levered names, Linn Energy LLC / Linn Energy Finance Corp., Stone Energy Corp., and Energy XXI Gulf Coast, Inc. bonds were impacted especially hard. Our position in Rent-A-Center, Inc. bonds also detracted from performance due to weaker than expected revenue growth and lower forward guidance to earnings.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The year ended October 31, 2014 can be summarized as great expectations that were never met. This narrative applies most directly to the economic recovery and the expected sell-off in fixed income markets, especially long duration assets.

The expectations were building throughout 2013 as the 10-year Treasury rate almost doubled, briefly piercing the three percent threshold. This move was intertwined with the consensus thinking that the growth rate of the U.S. economy was finally going to hit terminal velocity close to three percent. All was perceived to be going as planned until Mother Nature chimed in. The cold weather and snow sent inventory accumulation into hibernation. What magnified the weather event is that in the second half of 2013, factories had been participating in the consensus view that the economy was accelerating by rapidly ramping up their inventories in anticipation of higher demand in 2014. The literal freeze in economic activity in the first quarter of 2014 created such a drag that it was quickly made apparent that the full-year growth numbers were not going to be attainable.

The underwhelming economic performance was not just a U.S. event. The consensus in the Eurozone had also been calling for a healthy acceleration. However, the necessary balance sheet moves in order for banks to pass the Asset Quality Review test meant that lending to the region would be very hard to come by. Such restriction of private credit, especially to the Small & Medium Sized Enterprises, is completely contrary to what is required for an economic expansion. The ensuing slowdown was not limited to the periphery, even the German growth engine lost steam.

The most recent policy answer to the European growth problem created a new global narrative – divergent monetary policy in the developed world. At a time when U.S. and U.K. are winding down quantitative easing (“QE”) and talking about raising interest rates, Japan and Europe are going the other way – either increasing the QE pace or seeking alternative ways to implement QE policy. (Even the largest Emerging Market country (China) is adding stimulus through numerous channels.) This divergence of policy has resulted in a huge rate differential in sovereign bonds and has incentivized, in part, investors domiciled in low yielding countries to buy debt instruments in (relatively) higher interest bearing countries. This so called ‘tractor-beam’ effect has also contributed downward pressure to U.S. rates.

As is often the case, what consensus was expecting to be the worst asset class for the coming year (i.e., 30-year Treasuries) turned out to be one of the best, especially when factoring in volatility measures like the Sharpe ratio. Can history repeat itself in 2015? It will be tough, at least for the long bond given the challenges to attaining capital appreciation on top of the lower starting yield versus last year. Much of the 2015 narrative could be a continuation of the divergence in global monetary policy – does the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) and Bank of England start hiking rates in 2015? Does the European Central Bank start sovereign QE? How long does the Bank of Japan keep up its torrid pace of QE? While the answers to these questions may play out in due time, with no recession seen in site, Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC remains of the view that risk assets remain in a long-term bull market.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Tactical Allocation Class A returned 3.05%. By comparison, its primary, secondary, and additional benchmarks, the FTSE All-World Index Total Return, the Barclays Global Aggregate Index and the Transamerica Tactical Allocation Blended Benchmark returned 8.36%, 0.22% and 5.10%, respectively.

The Blended Benchmark is comprised of the FTSE All-World Index Total Return (60%) and the Barclays Global Aggregate Index (40%).

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund underperformed relative to the Transamerica Tactical Allocation Blended Benchmark, for the year ended October 31, 2014. As explained below, there were multiple factors contributing to, and detracting from performance over the period, but two broad themes carried the most weight over the course of the year. Our allocation to the domestic (U.S.) fixed income markets outperformed the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the Barclays Global Aggregate Index, for the year ended October 31, 2014. Investor confidence in non-U.S. growth deteriorated considerably during the period, especially the third quarter of 2014, leading to the performance differential. On the equity side of the Fund, the U.S./non-U.S. differential detracted from performance as we were overweight in certain non-U.S. markets. In aggregate, the equity portion of the Fund underperformed the primary benchmark, the FTSE All-World Index Total Return, for the year ended October 31, 2014. Additional negative impacts were generated from both commodity and volatility exposures.

Domestic fixed income exposures contributed positively to performance, while non-U.S. equity exposures representing Asia, emerging markets, etc. contributed negative excess returns relative to our Barclays Global Aggregate Index benchmark.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Tactical Income Class A returned 6.39%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the iBoxx $ Liquid High Yield Index and the Transamerica Tactical Income Blended Benchmark, returned 4.99% and 8.34%, respectively.

The Blended Benchmark is comprised of S&P 500® (30%), the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (30%), and the iBoxx $ Liquid High Yield Index (40%).

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund underperformed relative to its blended benchmark (30% S&P 500®, 30% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and 40% iBoxx $ Liquid High Yield Index) for the year ended October 31, 2014. Primary detractors from performance were our short duration posture relative to our benchmark on the fixed income side, and exposures to non-U.S. equities within the overall equity allocation.

As alluded to above, the macro backdrop, both domestic and foreign, changed rather dramatically over the course of the year. We were anticipating a gradual rise in interest rates over the course of the year, and positioned the Fund accordingly. Instead, rates rallied persistently from the beginning of calendar year 2014, as the global growth outlook slowed. Additionally, the deterioration of the growth outlook was primarily focused on non-U.S. markets, particularly the Eurozone and much of Asia, causing equity exposures in those markets to underperform U.S. equity markets.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica Tactical Rotation Class A returned 6.31%. By comparison, its primary, secondary, and additional benchmarks, the FTSE All-World Index Total Return, the S&P 500®, and the Transamerica Tactical Rotation Blended Benchmark returned 8.36%, 17.27%, and 6.70%, respectively.

The Blended Benchmark is comprised of the FTSE All-World Index Total Return (80%) and the Barclays 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (20%).

STRATEGY REVIEW

The year resulted in very bifurcated performance between the U.S. and non-U.S. markets. The U.S. economy appears to be on a sustainable growth trajectory, while many non-U.S. economies appear to be slowing for various reasons. Regional conflicts (e.g. Ukraine), declining commodity prices (e.g. many emerging economies), and strained fiscal situations (e.g. much of the Eurozone) seem to be contributing to pull-backs in non-U.S. growth assumptions and equity market outcomes. These disparate outcomes have been manifested in the dollar appreciating over virtually all major currencies, detracting from realized performance from foreign markets translated to U.S. dollars. As these scenarios play out, we expect disparate returns to continue from one country to the next, creating both opportunity as well as risk.

The Fund underperformed the blended benchmark (80% FTSE World, 20% Barclays Capital Short Treasury 1-3mo) for the year ended October 31, 2014. Primary contributors to performance over the period came from allocations to the domestic healthcare, technology, and financials sectors. Detractions from performance for the year generally came from exposure to non-U.S. equities markets such as the Eurozone, Asia, and South America.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

U.S. equities and other developed-market stocks rose during the one-year period as the S&P 500® posted a 17.27% return and the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index posted a 9.3% return. Emerging markets trailed, with the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index posting a gain of just 0.98%.

The fourth quarter of 2013 began on an unnerving note, with a 16-day government shutdown and near breach of the U.S. debt ceiling. The elimination of two market overhangs – the timing of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (“Fed”) tapering and the threat of a government shutdown – led the market higher into 2014, only to be met by a pullback in January. However, once again U.S. equities fought back and finished February at a new peak, and by the end of the second quarter the S&P 500® was scaling new highs. The third quarter was also bumpy, with U.S. equities sinking in July, rebounding in August, and falling once again around mid-September before recovering towards the end of October.

All ten sectors in the Russell 1000® Growth Index posted positive returns during the period, led by Health Care, Utilities, and Information Technology. Energy, Telecommunication Services, and Consumer Discretionary posted more modest gains relative to the broader index.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Transamerica US Growth Class A returned 14.25%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, returned 17.11%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index for the period.

The Fund’s portfolio management team adheres to a disciplined portfolio construction process that allows them to assess risk, weigh individual positions accordingly, and in the process build a portfolio that focuses largely on stock selection for generating benchmark relative outperformance.

During the year, security selection within the Industrials, Information Technology and Energy sectors detracted from relative performance. A frictional cash position in an upward trending market also weighed on relative results. More favorable selection within (as well as an underweight allocation to) Consumer Staples helped to partially offset weaker results elsewhere in the Fund. An overweight allocation to Information Technology also aided benchmark relative performance.

The Fund’s largest contributors to relative performance during the period included Monster Beverage Corp., a U.S. marketer and distributor of energy drinks, Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (no longer held at year end), a semiconductor firm, and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., a biopharmaceutical company. The Fund’s avoidance of International Business Machines Corp., an information technology products and services provider, also contributed to relative results.

The Fund’s largest relative detractors during the period included Halliburton Co., a global oilfield services company, and Anadarko Petroleum Corp., Class A, an independent energy exploration and production company. The Fund’s underweight position in Apple, Inc. during the early part of the period also weighed on results, as did an underweight to benchmark constituent Amgen, Inc. (no longer held at year end).

(A) The Russell 1000® Growth Index is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or Life of Class calculation is based on the inception date of the class. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares or 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares and the maximum sales charge of 8.5% for Class T shares. There are no sales charges on Class I and I2 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Adviser. Without such waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower. Future waivers and/or reimbursements are at the discretion of the Investment Adviser.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the financial highlights.

Growth stocks can be volatile and experience sharp price declines and certain types of stocks, especially technology, can be extremely volatile and subject to greater price swings than the broader market. Value approach carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security’s intrinsic value for a long time or that an undervalued stock is actually appropriately priced.

Understanding Your Funds’ Expenses

 

 

(unaudited)

 

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, and other fund expenses.

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

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2014, and held for the entire period until October 31, 2014.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The information in the table under the heading “Actual Expenses” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class titled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid during the period can decrease your ending account value.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Expenses” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and assumed rates of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund versus other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Expenses” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries, or other financial institutions.

Expense ratios may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses that are not covered by the advisory and administrative fees, expenses and fees of the trustees and their counsel, extraordinary expenses and interest expense.

(A)  5% return per year before expenses.

 

(B)  Expenses are calculated using the Funds’ annualized expense ratios (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

 

(C)  During the period ended October 31, 2014, expense ratios do not include expenses of the investment companies in which the Funds invest.

 

(D)  The Fund class commenced operations on September 4, 2014. Actual expenses are calculated using each Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (58), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days). For comparability purposes, hypothetical expenses assume that the Funds’ were in operation for the entire six-month period ended October 31, 2014. Thus, the hypothetical expenses are calculated using the Funds’ annualized expense ratios (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(A)  Prior to February 28, 2014, information provided in previous periods reflects The Torray Resolute Fund, which is the accounting survivor pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization.

This report must be accompanied by the Funds’ current prospectuses, which contain additional information about the Funds, including investment objectives and strategies.

Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) provides continuous and regular investment advisory services to the Funds. TAM acts as a manager of managers, providing advisory services that include, without limitation, the design and development of each Fund and its investment strategy and the ongoing review and evaluation of that investment strategy including recommending changes in strategy where it believes appropriate or advisable; the selection of one or more sub-advisers for each Fund employing a combination of quantitative and qualitative screens, research, analysis and due diligence; oversight and monitoring of sub-advisers and recommending changes to sub-advisers where it believes appropriate or advisable; recommending and implementing fund combinations and liquidations where it believes appropriate or advisable; regular supervision of the Funds’ investments; regular review of sub-adviser performance and holdings; ongoing trade oversight and analysis; regular monitoring to ensure adherence to investment process; risk management oversight and analysis; design, development, implementation and regular monitoring of the valuation of portfolio holdings; design, development, implementation and regular monitoring of the compliance process; review of proxies voted by sub-advisers; oversight of preparation, and review, of materials for meetings of the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”), participation in these meetings and preparation of regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation and review of prospectuses, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and filings; and oversight of other service providers to the Funds, such as the custodian, the

transfer agent, the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm and legal counsel; supervision of the performance of recordkeeping and shareholder relations for the Funds; and ongoing cash management services. TAM uses a variety of quantitative and qualitative tools to carry out its investment advisory services. Where TAM employs sub-advisers, the sub-advisers carry out and effectuate the investment strategy designed for the Funds by TAM and are responsible, subject to TAM’s and the Board’s oversight, among other things, for making decisions to buy, hold or sell a particular security.

Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. (“TFS”) provides supervisory and administrative services to each Fund. TFS’s supervisory and administrative services include performing certain administrative services for the Funds and supervising and overseeing the administrative, clerical, recordkeeping and bookkeeping services provided for the Funds by State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), to whom TFS has outsourced the provision of certain services as described below; to the extent agreed upon by TFS and the Funds from time to time, monitoring and verifying the custodian’s daily calculation of Net Asset Value (“NAV”); shareholder relations functions; compliance services; valuation services; assisting in due diligence and in oversight and monitoring of certain activities of sub-advisers and certain aspects of each Fund’s investments; assisting with fund combinations and liquidations; oversight of the preparation and filing, and review, of all returns and reports, in connection with federal, state and local taxes; oversight and review of regulatory reporting; supervising and coordinating the Funds’ custodian and their dividend disbursing agent and monitoring their services to the Funds; assisting the Funds in preparing reports to shareholders; acting as liaison with the Funds’ independent public accountants and providing, upon request, analyses, fiscal year summaries and other audit related services; assisting in the preparation of agendas and supporting documents for and minutes of meetings of the Board and committees of trustees; assisting in the preparation of regular communications with the trustees; and providing personnel and office space, telephones and other office equipment as necessary in order for TFS to perform supervisory and administrative services to the Funds. State Street performs back office services to support TFS, including furnishing financial and performance information about the Funds for inclusion in regulatory filings and trustees’ and shareholder reports; preparing drafts of regulatory filings, trustees’ materials, tax returns, expenses and budgeting; tax compliance testing; and maintaining books and records. TFS pays all expenses it incurs in connection with providing these services in the Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement with the exception of the costs of certain services specifically assumed by the Funds, as numerated within the Statements of Operations.

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

In preparing the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America, estimates or assumptions (which could differ from actual results) may be used that affect reported amounts and disclosures. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

Securities lending: Securities are lent to qualified financial institutions and brokers. State Street serves as securities lending agent to the Funds pursuant to a Securities Lending Agreement. The lending of securities exposes the Funds to risks such as the following: (i) the borrowers may fail to return the loaned securities; (ii) the borrowers may not be able to provide additional collateral; (iii) the Funds may experience delays in recovery of the loaned securities or delays in access to collateral; or (iv) the Funds may experience losses related to the investment collateral. To minimize certain risks, loan counterparties pledge cash collateral with a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities loaned. The lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Funds in the case of default of any securities borrower.

Cash collateral received is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Trust-Prime Portfolio, a money market mutual fund registered under the 1940 Act. By lending securities, the Funds seek to increase their net investment income through the receipt of interest and fees. Such income is reflected separately in the Statements of Operations. Income from loaned securities in the Statements of Operations is net of fees and rebates earned by the lending agent for its services.

The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at October 31, 2014, if any, are shown on a gross basis in the Schedule of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Repurchase agreements: In a repurchase agreement, the Funds purchase a security and simultaneously commit to resell that security to the seller at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date. Securities purchased subject to a repurchase agreement are held at the Funds’ custodian, or designated sub-custodian related to tri-party repurchase agreements, and, pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, must be collateralized by securities with an aggregate market value greater than or equal to 100% of the resale price. The Funds will bear the risk of value fluctuations until the securities can be sold and may encounter delays and incur costs in liquidating the securities. In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the seller, delays and costs may be incurred.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

At October 31, 2014

 

NOTE 1. (continued)

 

Repurchase agreements are subject to netting agreements, which are agreements between the Fund and its counterparties that provide for the net settlement of all transactions and collateral with the Fund, through a single payment, in the event of default or termination. Amounts presented on the Schedule of Investments, and as part of Repurchase agreements, at value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are shown on a gross basis. The value of the related collateral for each repurchase agreement, as reflected in the Schedule of Investments, exceeds the value of each repurchase agreement at October 31, 2014.

Open repurchase agreements at October 31, 2014, if any, are shown on the Schedule of Investments.

Foreign currency denominated investments: The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the closing exchange rate each day. The cost of foreign securities purchased and any realized gains or losses are translated at the prevailing exchange rates in effect on the date of the respective transaction. Each Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in value when computing net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

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

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

Foreign taxes: The Funds may be subjected to taxes imposed by the countries in which they invest, with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. The Funds may also be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable when the related income or capital gains are earned or unrealized, and based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which the Funds invest. 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 of foreign capital remittances abroad.

Cash overdraft: Throughout the year, the Funds may have cash overdraft balances. A fee is incurred on these overdrafts, calculated by multiplying the overdraft by a rate based on the federal funds rate.

Payables, if any, are reflected as Due to custodian in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Forward foreign currency contracts: The Funds are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds, with the exception of Transamerica Money Market (“Money Market”), enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against exchange rate risk arising from investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily, with the change in value recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contracts are settled, a realized gain or loss is incurred. Risks may arise from changes in market value of the underlying currencies and from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Open forward foreign currency contracts at October 31, 2014, if any, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

Option contracts: The Funds are subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds, with the exception of Money Market, enter into option contracts to manage exposure to various market fluctuations. The Funds purchase or write put and call options on U.S. securities, indices, futures, swaps (“swaptions”), commodities, and currency transactions. Options are valued at the average of the bid and ask price (“Mean Quote”) established each day at the close of the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options are marked-to-market daily to reflect the current value of the option. The primary risks associated with options are an imperfect correlation between the change in value of the securities held and the prices of the option contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and an inability of the counterparty to meet the contract terms.

Purchased options: Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. The Funds pay premiums, which are included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid from options which expire are treated as realized losses.

 

Transamerica Funds   Annual Report 2014

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

At October 31, 2014

 

NOTE 1. (continued)

 

Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying U.S. security, index, future, swaption, commodity, or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

Written options: Writing call options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying investment. Writing put options tends to increase exposure to the underlying investment. When the Funds write a covered call or put option, the premium received is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. Premiums received from written options which expire unexercised are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options/swaptions which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying U.S. security, index, future, swaption, commodity, or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. In writing an option, the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or currency underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Funds could result in the Funds selling or buying a security or currency at a price different from the current market value.

Inflation-capped options: The Funds purchase or write inflation-capped options to enhance returns or for hedging opportunities. The purpose of purchasing inflation-capped options is to protect the Funds from inflation erosion above a certain rate on a given notional exposure. A floor can be used to give downside protection to the investments in inflation-linked products.

Foreign currency options: The Funds may write or purchase foreign currency options. Purchasing foreign currency options gives the Funds the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell the currency and will specify the amount of currency and a rate of exchange that may be exercised by a specified date. These options may be used as a short or long hedge against possible variations in foreign exchange rates or to gain exposure to foreign currencies.

Straddle swaption contracts: The Funds enter into straddle swaption contracts. A straddle swaption is an investment strategy that consists of two swaptions, each with a different underlying swap, wherein the holder buys both a payer and receiver option on the same floating rate. If the floating rate falls, the holder receives the fixed rate, and if the floating rate rises, the holder pays the fixed rate.

The underlying face amounts of open options and swaptions at October 31, 2014, if any, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

There were no transactions in written swaptions during the year ended October 31, 2014.

Futures contracts: The Funds are subject to equity and commodity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds, with the exception of Money Market, use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities and commodities, interest rates, or foreign currencies. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, the Funds are required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or in securities, an initial margin in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are paid or received by the Funds, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Funds. Upon entering into such contracts, the Funds bear the risk of equity and commodity prices, interest rates, or exchange rates moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize

NOTE 1. (continued)

 

losses. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

Open futures contracts at October 31, 2014, if any, are listed in the Schedule of Investments. The variation margin receivable or payable, as applicable, is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Swap agreements: Swap agreements are bilaterally negotiated agreements between the Funds and a counterparty to exchange or swap investments, cash flows, assets, foreign currencies, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market and may be executed in multilateral or other trade facility platforms, such as a registered exchange (“centrally cleared swaps”). Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral platform, are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the corresponding exchange. For centrally cleared credit default swaps the clearing exchange requires all members to provide applicable levels across complete term levels. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps are valued using a pricing model that references the underlying rates including but not limited to the overnight index swap rate and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) forward rate to calculate the daily settlement price. The Funds, with the exception of Money Market, enter into credit default, cross-currency, interest rate, total return, variance, and other forms of swap agreements to manage exposure to credit, currency, interest rate, and commodity risks. In connection with these agreements, securities or cash may be identified as collateral or margin in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency. Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon values from third party vendors, which may include a registered exchange, or quotations from market makers to the extent available and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

For OTC swap agreements, payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments made or received upon entering into the swap agreements to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Funds are included as part of realized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations.

Specific risks and accounting related to each type of swap agreement are identified and described in the following paragraphs:

Credit default swap agreements: The Funds are subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds enter into credit default swaps to manage their exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market to reduce their risk exposure to defaults of corporate and sovereign issuers, or to create exposure to corporate or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed. Credit default swaps involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium for protection against the loss in value of an underlying security in the event of a defined credit event, such as payment default or bankruptcy (buy protection).

Under a credit default swap, one party acts as a guarantor by receiving the fixed periodic payment in exchange for the commitment to purchase the underlying security at par if the defined credit event occurs (sell protection). The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the notional amount of the contract. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Funds and the counterparty, and by the posting of collateral.

Certain Funds sell credit default swaps, which exposes them to risk of loss from credit risk related events specified in the contracts. Although contract-specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium. The aggregate fair value of the credit default swaps is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. The aggregate fair value of assets posted as collateral, net of assets received as collateral, for these swaps is included in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. If a defined credit event had occurred during the period, the swaps’ credit-risk-related contingent features would have been triggered, and the Funds would have been required to pay the notional amounts for the credit default swaps with a sell protection less the value of the contracts’ related reference obligations.

Interest rate swap agreements: The Funds are subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. Because the Funds hold fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To help hedge against this risk, the Funds enter into interest rate swap agreements. Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties to exchange cash flows based on a notional principal amount. Funds with interest rate agreements can elect to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate, or receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate, on a notional principal amount. The risks of interest rate swaps include changes in market conditions which will affect the value of the contract or the cash flows, and the possible inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the agreement. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the

NOTE 1. (continued)

 

discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparties over the contracts’ remaining lives, to the extent that that amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Funds and the counterparty, and by the posting of collateral.

Total return swap agreements: The Funds are subject to commodity, equity, and other risks related to the underlying investments of the swap agreement in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The value of the commodity-linked investments held by the Funds can be affected by a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, overall market movements and other factors affecting the value of particular industries or commodities, such as weather, disease, embargoes, acts of war or terrorism, or political and regulatory developments. Commodity-linked derivatives are available from a relatively small number of issuers, subjecting a Fund’s investments in commodity-linked derivatives to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the issuer of the commodity-linked derivative will not fulfill its contractual obligations. Total return swap agreements on commodities involve commitments whereby cash flows are exchanged based on the price of a commodity in exchange for either a fixed or floating price or rate. One party would receive payments based on the market value of the commodity involved and pay a fixed amount. Total return swap agreements on indices involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return. One counterparty pays out the total return of a specific reference asset, which may be an equity, index, or bond, and in return receives a regular stream of payments.

Cross-currency swap agreements: The Funds are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds enter into cross-currency swap agreements to gain or reduce exposure to foreign currencies or to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate and/or interest rate risk. Cross-currency swap agreements are interest rate swaps in which two parties agree to exchange cash flows based on the notional amounts of two different currencies. The Funds with cross currency swap agreements can elect to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate, or, receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate on the notional amounts of two different currencies. The notional amounts are typically determined based on the spot exchange rates at the inception of the trade. Cross-currency swap agreements can also involve an exchange of notional amounts at the start, during and/or at expiration of the contract, either at the current spot rate or another specified rate.

Open centrally cleared swap agreements at October 31, 2014, if any, are listed in the Schedule of Investments. The centrally cleared swap agreements are marked-to-market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the variation margin is recorded by the Fund, if applicable, and is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Open OTC swap agreements at October 31, 2014, if any, are listed in the Schedule of Investments. The value, as applicable, is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Loan participations and assignments: The Funds may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers, either in the form of participations at the time the loan is originated (“Participations”) or buying an interest in the loan in the secondary market from a financial institution or institutional investor (“Assignments”). Participations and Assignments in commercial loans may be secured or unsecured. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities that obligate the Funds to supply additional cash to the borrowers on demand. Loan Participations and Assignments involve risks of insolvency of the lending banks or other financial intermediaries. As such, the Funds assume the credit risks associated with the corporate borrowers and may assume the credit risks associated with the interposed banks or other financial intermediaries.

The Funds, with the exception of Money Market, may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent banks and/or borrowers prior to the sale of these investments. The Funds that participate in such syndications, or that can buy a portion of the loans, become part lenders. Loans are often administered by agent banks acting as agents for all holders.

The agent banks administer the terms of the loans, as specified in the loan agreements. In addition, the agent banks are normally responsible for the collection of principal and interest payments from the corporate borrowers and the apportionment of these payments to the credit of all institutions that are parties to the loan agreements. Unless the Funds have direct recourse against the corporate borrowers under the terms of the loans or other indebtedness, the Funds may have to rely on the agent banks or other financial intermediaries to apply appropriate credit remedies against corporate borrowers.

Open loan participations and assignments at October 31, 2014, if any, are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

Unfunded commitments represent the remaining obligation of the Funds to the borrower. At any point in time, up to the maturity date of the issue, the borrower may demand the unfunded portion. These unfunded amounts are marked-to-market and any unrealized gains and losses are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

At October 31, 2014, the following Fund had an unfunded loan commitment which could be extended at the option of the borrower:

Security   Commitment     Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)
 

DTZ U.S. Borrower LLC, Delayed Draw Term Loan

  $ 149,333      $ 2,302   

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

Open balances at October 31, 2014, if any, are included in the payable or receivable for investments purchased or sold in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Open TBA commitments at October 31, 2014, if any, are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

When-Issued, forward delivery securities and delayed delivery settlements: The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, forward (delayed) delivery basis or delayed settlement. When-issued and forward delivery transactions are made conditionally because a security, although authorized, has not yet been issued in the market. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment is made. The Funds engage in when-issued transactions to obtain an advantageous price and yield at the time of the transaction. The Funds engage in when-issued and forward delivery transactions for the purpose of acquiring securities, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Funds may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the Funds are not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement.

Delayed delivery transactions involve a commitment by the Funds to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery transactions are outstanding, the Funds will segregate with its custodian either cash, U.S. Government securities, or other liquid assets at least equal to the value or purchase commitments until payment is made. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. These transactions also involve a risk to the Funds if the other party to the transaction defaults on its obligation to make payment or delivery, and the Funds are delayed or prevented from completing the transaction. The Funds may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, which may result in a realized gain or loss. When the Funds sell a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Funds do not participate in future gains and losses on the security.

Open when-issued securities at October 31, 2014, if any, are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

Treasury inflation-protected securities (“TIPS”): Certain Funds may invest in TIPS. TIPS are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation/deflation. If the index measuring inflation/deflation rises or falls, the principal value of TIPS will be adjusted upward or downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a larger or smaller principal amount) will be increased or reduced, respectively. Any upward or downward adjustment in the principal amount of a TIPS will be included as interest income in the Statements of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.

The adjustments, if any, to principal due to inflation/deflation are reflected as increases/decreases to Interest income in the Statements of Operations with a corresponding adjustment to cost.

Payment in-kind securities (“PIKs”): PIKs give the issuer the option of making interest payments in either cash or additional debt securities at each interest payment date. Those additional debt securities usually have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, and associated risks as the original bonds. The daily market quotations of the original bonds may include the accrued interest (referred to as a “dirty price”) and require a pro-rata adjustment from unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments to interest receivable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Open PIKs at October 31, 2014, if any, are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

Restricted and illiquid securities: The Funds may invest in unregulated restricted securities. Restricted and illiquid securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not changed for a certain period of time. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult.

The restricted and illiquid securities at October 31, 2014, if any, are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

Commission recapture: The sub-adviser, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, has elected to place security transactions of the Funds with broker/dealers with which Transamerica Funds has established a Commission Recapture Program. A Commission Recapture Program is any arrangement under which a broker/dealer applies a portion of the commissions received by such broker/dealer on the security transactions to the Funds. In no event will commissions paid by the Funds be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica Funds, or by any other party.

Commissions recaptured for the year ended October 31, 2014, are included in Net realized gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations and are summarized as follows:

Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification basis. Dividend income, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of foreign securities, as soon as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend dates, net of foreign taxes. Interest income, including accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis commencing on the settlement date.

Real estate investment trusts (“REITs”): Dividend income related to a REIT is recorded at management’s estimate of the income included in distributions from the REIT investments. Distributions received in excess of the estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after the fiscal year end and may differ from the estimated amounts. 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.

Open REITs at October 31, 2014, if any, are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

Multiple class operations, income, and expenses: Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to each class daily based upon net assets. Each class bears its own specific expenses in addition to the non-class specific expenses.

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. SECURITY VALUATION

 

All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. The Funds value their investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, each day the NYSE is open for business. The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis.

GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The three Levels of inputs of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs, which may include TAM’s internal valuation committee’s (the “Valuation Committee”) own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the sub-adviser, issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different Levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the Level in the fair value hierarchy that is assigned to the fair value measurement of a security is determined based on the lowest Level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The hierarchy classification of inputs used to value the Funds’ investments, at October 31, 2014, is disclosed in the Valuation Summary of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

The Funds’ Board has delegated the valuation functions on a day-to-day basis to TAM, subject to Board oversight. TAM has formed the Valuation Committee to monitor and implement the fair valuation policies and procedures as approved by the Board. These policies and procedures are reviewed at least annually by the Board. The Valuation Committee, among other tasks, monitors for when market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable and determines in good faith the fair value of the portfolio investments. For instances in which daily market quotes are not readily available, securities may be valued, pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board, with reference to other instruments or indices. Depending on the relative significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified in either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Valuation Committee may employ a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the security to determine the fair value of the security. An income-based valuation approach may also be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the security are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the securities. When the Funds use fair value methods that rely on significant unobservable inputs to determine a security’s value, the Valuation Committee will choose the method that is believed to accurately reflect fair value. These securities are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Valuation Committee reviews fair value measurements on a regular and ad hoc basis and may, as deemed appropriate, update the security valuations as well as the fair valuation guidelines.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is generally greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the Valuation Committee’s determination of values may differ significantly from values that would have been realized had a ready market for investments existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches, including a regular review of valuation methodologies, key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing, and reviews of any market related activity.

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

Investment companies: Investment companies are valued at the NAV of the underlying funds. These securities are actively traded and no valuation adjustments are applied. Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETF”) are stated at the last reported sale price or closing price on the day of valuation taken from the primary exchange where the security is principally traded. They are categorized in Level 1 of the fair

NOTE 2. (continued)

 

value hierarchy. Investments in privately held investment funds with significant restrictions on redemptions where the inputs of NAVs are unobservable will be valued based upon the NAVs of such investments and are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Equity securities (common and preferred stocks): Securities are stated at the last reported sales price or closing price on the day of valuation taken from the primary exchange where the security is principally traded. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Foreign securities, in which the primary trading market closes at the same time or after the NYSE, are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and are categorized in Level 1. Because many foreign securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the NYSE, closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close. Certain foreign securities may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, ETF, and the movement of the certain indices of securities based on a statistical analysis of their historical relationship; such valuations generally are categorized in Level 2.

Preferred stock and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also generally categorized in Level 2 or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

Securities lending collateral: Securities lending collateral is invested in a money market fund which is valued at the NAV of the underlying securities and no valuation adjustments are applied. It is categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Repurchase agreements: Repurchase agreements are traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments and are generally categorized in Level 2.

Corporate bonds: The fair value of corporate bonds is estimated using various techniques, which consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, fundamental data relating to the issuer, and credit default swap spreads adjusted for any basis difference between cash and derivative instruments. While most corporate bonds are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances where lower relative weight is placed on transaction prices, quotations, or similar observable inputs, they are categorized in Level 3.

Asset-backed securities: The fair value of asset-backed securities is estimated based on models that consider the estimated cash flows of each tranche of the entity, establish a benchmark yield, and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would generally be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they would be categorized in Level 3.

Municipal Bonds & Notes and Variable Rate Notes: The fair value of municipal bonds & notes and variable rate notes is estimated based on models that consider, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, current trades, bid-want lists, offerings, market movements, the liquidity of the bond, state of issuance, benchmark yield curves, and bond or note insurance. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would generally be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they are categorized in Level 3.

Mortgage-Backed Securities: The fair value of mortgage-backed securities is estimated based on models based that consider issuer type, coupon, cash flows, mortgage prepayment projection tables and adjustable rate mortgage evaluations that incorporate index data, periodic life caps and the next coupon reset date. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would generally be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they are categorized in Level 3.

Short-term notes: Short-term notes are valued using amortized cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they would be categorized in Level 3.

Government securities: Government securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued by principally using dealer quotations. Government securities generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

U.S. Government agency securities: U.S. Government Agency securities are comprised of two main categories consisting of agency issued debt and mortgage pass-throughs. Generally, agency issued debt securities are valued in a manner similar to U.S. Government securities. Mortgage pass-throughs include TBA securities and mortgage pass-through certificates. Generally, TBA securities and

NOTE 2. (continued)

 

mortgage pass-throughs are valued using dealer quotations. Depending on market activity levels and whether quotations or other observable data are used, these securities are typically categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they would be categorized in Level 3.

Restricted securities (equity and debt): Restricted securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee under the supervision of the Funds’ Board. Restricted securities issued by publicly traded companies are generally valued at a discount to similar publicly traded securities. Restricted securities issued by nonpublic entities may be valued by reference to comparable public entities and/or fundamental data relating to the issuer. Depending on the relative significance of observable valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified in either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative instruments: Listed derivatives that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. OTC derivative contracts include forward, swap, swaption, and option contracts related to interest rates, foreign currencies, credit standing of reference entities, equity prices, or commodity prices. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the fair value of the OTC derivative products are modeled taking into account the counterparties’ creditworthiness and using a series of techniques, including simulation models. Many pricing models do not entail material subjectivity because the methodologies employed do not necessitate significant judgments and the pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets, as is the case of interest rate swap and option contracts. A substantial majority of OTC derivative products valued by the Funds using pricing models fall into this category and are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

For the year ended October 31, 2014 and year ended October 31, 2013, the amounts waived were as follows:

NOTE 6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

 

The Funds have not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of their taxable income and capital gains to their shareholders and otherwise qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The Funds’ federal and state tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities for the prior three years. Management has evaluated the Funds’ tax provisions taken for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. If applicable, the Funds recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and penalties expense in Other on the Statements of Operations. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, the states of Colorado and Florida, and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to different treatment for items including, but not limited to, wash sales, structured notes, foreign bonds, swaps, net operating losses, distribution reclasses for REITs, passive foreign investment companies, foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards, Late Year Ordinary Loss Deferrals, paydown gain/loss, foreign capital gains tax, and return of capital distributions from underlying investments.

Therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. The differences are primarily due to non-REIT return of capital dividends, expiration of capital loss, paydown gain/loss, partnership basis adjustments, distribution reclasses for REITs, distribution re-designations, passive foreign investment companies, foreign capital gains taxes, TIPS, capital gain distributions from underlying funds, net operating losses, grantor trust basis adjustments, organizational expenses, distribution in excess of current earnings, preferred securities. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or results of operations. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences. These reclassifications are as follows:

NOTE 7. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-11, “Transfers and Servicing, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures”. The guidance changes the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements related to repurchase agreements, securities lending, repurchase-to-maturity and similar transactions. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the implication, if any, of the additional disclosure requirements and its impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

In July 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission voted to amend Rule 2a-7, which governs money market funds. A significant change resulting from these amendments is a requirement that institutional prime and institutional municipal money market funds transact fund shares based on a market-based NAV. Government, treasury, retail prime and retail municipal money market funds may continue to transact fund shares at an NAV calculated using the amortized cost valuation method. Among additional disclosure and other requirements, the amendments also will permit a money market fund, or, in certain circumstances, require a money market fund (other than a government money market fund which satisfies the requirements of the amended rules) to impose liquidity fees on redemptions, and permit a money market fund to limit (or gate) redemptions for up to 10 business days in any 90-day period. The degree to which a money market fund will be impacted by the rule amendments will depend upon the type of fund and type of investors

(retail or institutional). The amendments have staggered compliance dates; however, the majority of these amendments will be effective on October 14, 2016, two years after the effective date for the rule amendments. Management is currently evaluating the implication, if any, of the additional disclosure requirements and its impact to the Funds’ financial statements.

NOTE 8. REORGANIZATION

Transamerica Concentrated Growth

Following the close of business on February 28, 2014, Class I of Transamerica Concentrated Growth assumed all of the assets and liabilities of The Torray Resolute Fund. The shareholders of The Torray Resolute Fund received an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of their shares in Class I of Transamerica Concentrated Growth immediately prior to the reorganization. The reorganization was treated as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, the basis of the assets of Transamerica Concentrated Growth reflects the historical basis of the assets of The Torray Resolute Fund as of the date of the reorganization. For financial reporting purposes, the Torray Resolute Fund’s operating history prior to the reorganization is reflected in Class I of Transamerica Concentrated Growth’s financial statements and financial highlights.

The purpose of the transaction was to provide an additional large cap growth fund with unique distribution opportunities. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 861,025 shares of Transamerica Concentrated Growth for 861,025 shares of The Torray Resolute Fund outstanding on February 28, 2014. Transamerica Concentrated Growth’s net assets at that date were $500,010, which were combined with those of The Torray Resolute Fund. The aggregate net assets of Transamerica Concentrated Growth were $500,010; the combined net assets of Transamerica Concentrated Growth immediately after the acquisition were $13,903,438.

Assuming the reorganization had been completed on January 1, 2014, the beginning of the semi-annual reporting period of the Fund, the Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the period ended October 31, 2014, are as follows:

 

Net investment income (loss)

  $   713,725   

Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss)

    991,369   

Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations

    12,284,158   

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of The Torray Resolute Fund that have been included in the Transamerica Concentrated Growth’s Statement of Operations since March 1, 2014.

NOTE 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Transamerica International Small Cap Value closed to new investors on November 28, 2014. Transamerica’s asset allocators and existing Class I shareholders will be able to continue to purchase additional shares in the Fund at this time (provided they are already invested in the Fund).

Transamerica Unconstrained Bond commenced operations on December 8, 2014.

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

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Transamerica Capital Growth, Transamerica Concentrated Growth (formerly, the Torray Resolute Fund), Transamerica Dividend Focused, Transamerica Emerging Markets Debt, Transamerica Emerging Markets Equity, Transamerica Enhanced Muni, Transamerica Flexible Income, Transamerica Floating Rate, Transamerica Global Bond, Transamerica Global Equity (formerly, Transamerica Multi-Manager International Portfolio), Transamerica Growth Opportunities, Transamerica High Yield Bond, Transamerica High Yield Muni, Transamerica Income & Growth, Transamerica Inflation Opportunities, Transamerica International Equity, Transamerica International Small Cap Value, Transamerica Large Cap Value, Transamerica Mid Cap Growth, Transamerica Mid Cap Value Opportunities, Transamerica MLP Energy & Income, Transamerica Money Market, Transamerica Multi-Managed Balanced, Transamerica Opportunistic Allocation, Transamerica Short-Term Bond, Transamerica Small Cap Core, Transamerica Small Cap Growth, Transamerica Small Cap Value, Transamerica Small/Mid Cap Value, Transamerica Strategic High Income, Transamerica Tactical Allocation, Transamerica Tactical Income, Transamerica Tactical Rotation, and Transamerica U.S. Growth (thirty-four of the funds of the Transamerica Funds collectively known as “the Funds”), including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The statements of changes in net assets for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and financial highlights for the periods ended prior to October 31, 2014 of Transamerica Concentrated Growth were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 24, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights. The financial highlights of Transamerica International Equity for the periods ended prior to November 1, 2010 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated December 17, 2010, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the aforementioned thirty-four Funds of the Transamerica Funds at October 31, 2014, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Following its review and consideration, the Board determined that the terms of each Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement are reasonable and that the renewal of each of the Agreements is in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the renewal of each of the Agreements through June 30, 2015. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and received from TAM and each Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreements, including, to the extent applicable, information about fees and performance of comparable funds and/or accounts managed by each Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also considered information they had previously received from TAM and each Sub-Adviser as part of their regular oversight of each

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS — CONTRACT RENEWAL (continued)

 

Fund, as well as comparative fee, expense and performance information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of mutual fund performance information, and fee, expense and profitability information prepared by TAM.

In their deliberations, the Independent Trustees had the opportunity to meet privately without representatives of TAM or any Sub-Adviser present and were represented throughout the process by independent legal counsel. In considering the proposed continuation of each of the Agreements, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by independent legal counsel and/or their own business judgment, to be relevant. They based their decisions on the considerations discussed below, among others, although they did not identify any particular consideration or information that was controlling of their decisions, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided

The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by TAM and each Sub-Adviser to the applicable Fund in the past and the services anticipated to be provided in the future. The Board also considered the investment approach for each Fund; the experience, capability and integrity of TAM’s senior management; the financial resources of TAM and each Sub-Adviser; TAM’s management oversight process; and the professional qualifications of the portfolio management team of each Sub-Adviser. The Trustees noted that they receive, on a quarterly basis, an execution analysis from Capital Institutional Services, Inc. (CAPIS), an independent provider of trade analyses, for each applicable Sub-Adviser and a comparison of trading results against a peer universe of managers.

The Board also considered the continuous and regular investment advisory and other services provided by TAM for the portion of the investment advisory fee it retains after payment of the sub-advisory fee(s) for each Fund. The Board noted that the investment advisory services include the design, development and ongoing review and evaluation of each Fund and its investment strategy; where applicable the selection, oversight and monitoring of one or more investment sub-advisers to perform certain duties with respect to the Funds; ongoing portfolio trading oversight and analysis; risk management oversight and analysis; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the valuation of Fund investments; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a compliance program for the Funds; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the voting of proxies and rights to consent to corporate action for Fund investments; participation in Board meetings and oversight of preparation of materials for the Board, including materials for Board meetings and regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation of the Funds’ prospectuses, statements of additional information, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and regulatory filings for the Funds; and ongoing cash management services. The Board also noted that TAM, as part of the investment advisory services it provides to all Transamerica mutual funds, including the Funds, oversees the services provided by the funds’ administrator, custodian, transfer agent, independent accountant and legal counsel and supervises the performance of the recordkeeping and shareholder functions of the funds.

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

Investment Performance

The Board considered the short- and longer-term performance, as applicable, of each Fund in light of its investment objective, policies and strategies, including relative performance against (i) a peer universe of comparable mutual funds, as prepared by Lipper, and (ii) the Fund’s benchmark(s), in each case for various trailing periods ended December 31, 2013.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS — CONTRACT RENEWAL (continued)

 

Transamerica Tactical Rotation. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual investment advisory fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class A Shares of the Fund were above the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Board also noted that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual investment advisory fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class A Shares of the Fund were above the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Board also noted that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

On the basis of these considerations, together with the other information it considered, the Board determined that the investment advisory and sub-advisory fees to be received by TAM and the Sub-Advisers under each Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement are reasonable in light of the services provided.

Cost of Services Provided and Level of Profitability

The Board reviewed information provided by TAM about the cost of providing and procuring fund management services, as well as the costs of the provision of administration, transfer agency and other services, to each Fund and to Transamerica Funds as a whole by TAM and its affiliates. The Board considered the profitability of TAM and its affiliates in providing these services for each Fund and Transamerica Funds as a whole, as well as the allocation methodology used for calculating profitability. The Board also considered the assessment prepared by Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to the Funds, to assist the Board’s evaluation of TAM’s profitability analysis. E&Y’s engagement included the review and assessment of the revenue and expense allocation methodology used by TAM to estimate its profitability with respect to its relationship with the Funds, and completion of procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of the profitability calculation and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering E&Y’s assessment and information provided by TAM, the Board concluded that, while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, TAM’s profitability methodologies are reasonable.

With respect to the Sub-Advisers, the Board noted that the sub-advisory fees are the product of arm’s-length negotiation between TAM and the applicable Sub-Adviser (with the exception of those fees paid to Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC (“AUIM”)) and are paid by TAM and not the applicable Fund. As a result, for those Funds not sub-advised by AUIM, the Board principally considered the profitability of TAM and its affiliates with respect to the applicable Fund. For each Fund sub-advised by AUIM, the Board noted that information about AUIM’s revenues and expenses was incorporated into TAM’s profitability analysis for the Fund.

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

Economies of Scale

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

Benefits to TAM, its Affiliates and the Sub-Advisers from their Relationships with the Funds

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

Other Considerations

The Board noted that TAM has made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel and maintains the financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage each Fund in a professional manner that is

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS — CONTRACT RENEWAL (continued)

 

consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board favorably considered the procedures and policies TAM has in place to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Advisers. The Board also noted that TAM has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Funds.

Conclusion

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

TRANSAMERICA MULTI-MANAGED BALANCED

APPROVAL OF NEW INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica Funds (the “Board” or “Board Members”) held on October 16 & 17, 2013, the Board considered the termination of BlackRock Financial Investment Management, LLC (“BlackRock”) as the sub-adviser to Transamerica Multi-Managed Balanced ( the “Fund”) and the approval of a new investment sub-advisory agreement between Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) and AEGON USA Investment Management, LLC (“AUIM”) (the “New-Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund.

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

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

Among other matters, the Board considered:

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

(b)        that AUIM is an experienced and respected asset management firm, and that TAM believes that AUIM has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide sub-advisory services to the Fund based on an assessment of the services that AUIM provides to other funds within the Transamerica mutual fund complex;

(c)        that AUIM and TAM are affiliated entities;

(d)        that in June 2013 the Board performed a full annual review of a number of sub-advisory agreements with AUIM with respect to Transamerica mutual funds not discussed herein, and determined that AUIM has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide the sub-advisory services to the Transamerica mutual fund complex;

(e)        the proposed responsibilities of AUIM for the Fund and the services expected to be provided by it;

(f)        the fact that the sub-advisory fees payable by TAM to AUIM would not increase from those paid by TAM to the Fund’s current sub-adviser;

(g)        that advisory fees paid by the Fund to TAM would not increase;

(h)        that the proposed sub-advisory fees to be paid by TAM to AUIM are reasonable in light of the services to be provided;

(i)        that TAM recommended to the Board that AUIM be appointed as Sub-Adviser to the Fund based on its desire to engage a sub-adviser with strong research and management capabilities across the fixed income spectrum and with the ability to implement the current investment strategies of the Fund; and

(j)        that the Fund and other funds for which AUIM was being appointed as sub-adviser would bear the costs of obtaining shareholder approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements, such costs to be allocated on the basis of their respective net assets except where direct costs can reasonably be attributed to a particular Fund.

Further, the Board Members, including a majority of the independent Board Members, found that the change in sub-adviser to AUIM is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and does not involve a conflict of interest from which TAM and AUIM derives an inappropriate advantage.

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

In their deliberations, the Board Members evaluated a number of considerations that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by independent legal counsel and their own business judgment, to be relevant. They based their decisions on the considerations discussed here, among others, although they did not identify any consideration or particular information that was controlling of their decisions, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various factors.

TRANSAMERICA MULTI-MANAGED BALANCED

APPROVAL OF NEW INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (continued)

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services to be Provided. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by AUIM under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered, among other things, information provided by TAM and AUIM regarding AUIM’s operations (including research and trading), facilities, organization and personnel of AUIM, AUIM’s ability to use its resources effectively in performing its duties under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, and AUIM’s capabilities in implementing the investment strategies of the Fund. The Board also considered that AUIM and TAM are affiliated entities. The Board considered that TAM has advised the Board that the appointment of AUIM is not expected to result in any diminution in the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund and its Shareholders, including compliance services. The Board considered that AUIM is an experienced and respected asset management firm and that TAM believes that AUIM has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide sub-advisory services to the Fund based on the assessment of the services that AUIM provides to other Transamerica mutual funds. The Board Members also considered that they recently had performed a full annual review of a number of sub-advisory agreements with AUIM and had determined that AUIM has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide the sub-advisory services to the funds subject to those agreements.

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

Investment Performance. The Board considered AUIM’s performance, investment management experience, capabilities and resources, including with respect to other Transamerica mutual funds that it sub-advises within the Transamerica mutual fund complex. The Board reviewed the performance of the Fund as compared to the performance of the AUIM Core Aggregate Fixed Income strategy, and noted that TAM believes that the replacement of the sub-adviser should enhance the investment performance of the Fund. In addition, the Board Members noted that they had recently considered the performance of other funds sub-advised by AUIM as part of the full annual review of the sub-advisory agreements for those funds and, in that connection, determined that AUIM was capable of providing investment and related services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of those funds’ operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs.

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

Sub-Advisory Fee, Cost of Services Provided and Profitability. The Board considered that the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule in the New Sub-Advisory Agreement was the same as the sub-advisory fee schedule in the sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock, but noted that the assets of the Fund would be aggregated with the assets of certain other Transamerica mutual funds sub-advised by AUIM for purposes of calculating the sub-advisory fees payable by TAM to AUIM. The Board noted that the advisory fee rate payable by the Fund would be reduced in connection with the sub-adviser change. The Board Members noted that the Fund does not pay the sub-advisory fee. On the basis of these considerations, together with the other information it considered, the Board determined that the sub-advisory fee to be received by AUIM under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement is reasonable in light of the services to be provided.

With respect to AUIM’s costs and profitability in providing services to the Fund, the Board noted that TAM and AUIM are affiliates, and that information about AUIM’s revenues and expenses was incorporated into an analysis of the anticipated impact of the sub-adviser change on TAM’s profitability. As a result, the Board principally considered profitability information for TAM and AUIM in the aggregate.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee schedule for the Fund would remain unchanged but that the Fund’s assets would be aggregated with the assets of certain other Transamerica mutual funds sub-advised by AUIM for purposes of determining the applicable sub-advisory fee rate. The Board noted that TAM believes that the appointment of AUIM as sub-adviser has the potential to attract additional assets because of AUIM’s asset management capabilities across the fixed income spectrum. The Board Members concluded that they would have the opportunity to periodically reexamine whether the Fund has achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of management fees payable to TAM and fees payable by TAM to AUIM, in the future.

Fall-Out Benefits. The Board took into consideration the character of any incidental benefits received by AUIM, including the potential for increased visibility in the marketplace as a result of AUIM’s relationship with the Fund.

Conclusion. After consideration of the factors described above, as well as other factors, the Board Members, including all of the Independent Board Members, found that the change in sub-adviser to AUIM is in the best interests of the Fund and its Shareholders and does not involve a conflict of interest from which TAM or AUIM derives an inappropriate advantage. The Board, including all of the Independent Board Members, concluded that the approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its Shareholders and voted to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement.
