Supplement to the Currently Effective Prospectuses, Summary Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information

The Board of Trustees has approved a reorganization pursuant to which the assets of Transamerica Inflation-Protected Securities (the “Target Fund”), a series of Transamerica Funds, would be acquired, and its liabilities would be assumed, by Transamerica Inflation Opportunities (the “Destination Fund”), a series of Transamerica Funds, in exchange for shares of the Destination Fund. The Target Fund would then be liquidated and shares of the Destination Fund would be distributed to the Target Fund shareholders in complete liquidation of the Target Fund.

Under the reorganization, Target Fund shareholders would receive shares of the corresponding class of the Destination Fund with the same aggregate net asset value as their shares of the Target Fund. It is anticipated that no gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes would be recognized by Target Fund shareholders as a result of the reorganization.

The reorganization does not require shareholder approval, but is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. An information statement describing the reorganization will be mailed to Target Fund shareholders in advance of the closing of the reorganization. If the closing conditions are satisfied, the reorganization is expected to occur on or about October 27, 2023. Effective on or about October 26, 2023, the Target Fund will be closed to all investments. Prior to that date, shareholders can continue to purchase, redeem and exchange shares of the Target Fund subject to the limitations described in the Target Fund’s Prospectus and Summary Prospectus.
