Additional Information

Temporary Defensive Position

At times a fund’s sub-adviser may judge that conditions in the securities markets make pursuing the fund’s typical investment strategy inconsistent with the best interest of its shareholders. At such times, a sub-adviser may temporarily use alternative strategies, primarily designed to reduce fluctuations in the value of the fund’s assets. In implementing these defensive strategies, a fund may invest without limit in securities that a sub-adviser believes present less risk to a fund, including equity securities, debt and fixed income securities, preferred stocks, U.S. government and agency obligations, cash or money market instruments, CDs, demand and time deposits, bankers’ acceptance or other securities a sub-adviser considers consistent with such defensive strategies, such as, but not limited to, options, futures, warrants or swaps. During periods in which such strategies are used, the duration of a fund may diverge from the duration range for that fund disclosed in its prospectus (if applicable). It is impossible to predict when, or for how long, a fund will use these alternative strategies. As a result of using these alternative strategies, a fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Borrowings

A fund may engage in borrowing transactions as a means of raising cash to satisfy redemption requests, for other temporary or emergency purposes or, to the extent permitted by its investment policies, to raise additional cash to be invested by the fund’s portfolio managers in other securities or instruments in an effort to increase the fund’s investment returns.

When a fund invests borrowing proceeds in other securities, the fund will bear the risk that the market value of the securities in which the proceeds are invested goes down and is insufficient to repay borrowed proceeds. Like other leveraging risks, this makes the value of an investment in a fund more volatile and increases the fund’s overall investment exposure. In addition, if a fund’s return on its investment of the borrowing proceeds does not equal or exceed the interest that a fund is obligated to pay under the terms of a borrowing, engaging in these transactions will lower the fund’s return.

A fund may be required to liquidate portfolio securities at a time when it would be disadvantageous to do so in order to make payments with respect to its borrowing obligations. This could adversely affect the portfolio managers’ strategy and result in lower fund returns. Interest on any borrowings will be a fund expense and will reduce the value of a fund’s shares.

A fund may borrow on a secured or on an unsecured basis. If a fund enters into a secured borrowing arrangement, a portion of the fund’s assets will be used as collateral. During the term of the borrowing, the fund will remain at risk for any fluctuations in the market value of these assets in addition to any securities purchased with the proceeds of the loan. In addition, a fund may be unable to sell the collateral at a time when it would be advantageous to do so, which could adversely affect the portfolio managers’ strategy and result in lower fund returns. The fund would also be subject to the risk that the lender may file for bankruptcy, become insolvent, or otherwise default on its obligations to return the collateral to the fund. In the event of a default by the lender, there may be delays, costs and risks of loss involved in a fund’s exercising its rights with respect to the collateral or those rights may be limited by other contractual agreements or obligations or by applicable law.

The 1940 Act requires the fund to maintain at all times an “asset coverage” of at least 300% of the amount of its borrowings. Asset coverage means the ratio that the value of the fund’s total assets, minus liabilities other than borrowings, bears to the aggregate amount of all borrowings. Although complying with this guideline would have the effect of limiting the amount that the fund may borrow, it does not otherwise mitigate the risks of entering into borrowing transactions.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements: A reverse repurchase agreement has the characteristics of a secured borrowing and creates leverage. In a reverse repurchase transaction, a fund sells a portfolio instrument to another person, such as a financial institution or broker/dealer, in return for cash. At the same time, a fund agrees to repurchase the instrument at an agreed-upon time and at a price that is greater than the amount of cash that the fund received when it sold the instrument, representing the equivalent of an interest payment by the fund for the use of the cash. During the term of the transaction, a fund will continue to receive any principal and interest payments (or the equivalent thereof) on the underlying instruments.

A fund may engage in reverse repurchase agreements as a means of raising cash to satisfy redemption requests or for other temporary or emergency purposes. Unless otherwise limited in its prospectus or this SAI, a fund may also engage in reverse repurchase agreements to the extent permitted by its fundamental investment policies in order to raise additional cash to be invested by the fund’s portfolio managers in other securities or instruments in an effort to increase the fund’s investment returns.

During the term of the transaction, a fund will remain at risk for any fluctuations in the market value of the instruments subject to the reverse repurchase agreement as if it had not entered into the transaction. When a fund reinvests the proceeds of a reverse repurchase agreement in other securities, the fund will bear the risk that the market value of the securities in which the proceeds are invested goes down and is insufficient to satisfy’s the fund’s obligations under the reverse repurchase agreement. Like other leveraging risks, this makes the value of an investment in a fund more volatile and increases the fund’s overall investment exposure. This could also result in the fund having to dispose of investments at inopportune times and at disadvantageous amounts. In addition, if a fund’s return on its investment of the proceeds of the reverse repurchase agreement does not equal or exceed the implied interest that it is obligated to pay under the reverse repurchase agreement, engaging in the transaction will lower the fund’s return.

30

When a fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it is subject to the risk that the buyer under the agreement may file for bankruptcy, become insolvent, or otherwise default on its obligations to the fund. In the event of a default by the counterparty, there may be delays, costs and risks of loss involved in a fund’s exercising its rights under the agreement, or those rights may be limited by other contractual agreements or obligations or by applicable law.

In addition, a fund may be unable to sell the instruments subject to the reverse repurchase agreement at a time when it would be advantageous to do so, or may be required to liquidate portfolio securities at a time when it would be disadvantageous to do so in order to make payments with respect to its obligations under a reverse repurchase agreement. This could adversely affect the portfolio managers’ strategy and result in losses. At the time a fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, the fund is required to set aside or earmark on its books cash or other appropriate liquid securities in the amount of the fund’s obligation under the reverse repurchase agreement or take certain other actions in accordance with SEC guidelines, which may affect a fund’s liquidity and ability to manage its assets. Although complying with SEC guidelines would have the effect of limiting the amount of fund assets that may be committed to reverse repurchase agreements and other similar transactions at any time, it does not otherwise mitigate the risks of entering into reverse repurchase agreements.

Lending

Consistent with applicable regulatory requirements and the limitations as set forth in each fund’s investment restrictions and policies, the fund may lend portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations meeting capital and other credit requirements or other criteria established by the Board. Loans of securities will be secured continuously by collateral in cash, cash equivalents, or U.S. government obligations maintained on a current basis at an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Cash collateral received by a fund will be invested in high quality short-term instruments, or in one or more funds maintained by the lending agent for the purpose of investing cash collateral. During the term of the loan, a fund will continue to have investment risk with respect to the security loaned, as well as risk with respect to the investment of the cash collateral. Either party has the right to terminate a loan at any time on customary industry settlement notice (which will not usually exceed three business days). During the existence of a loan, a fund will continue to receive the equivalent of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned and, with respect to cash collateral, will receive any income generated by the fund’s investment of the collateral (subject to a rebate payable to the borrower and a percentage of the income payable to the lending agent). Where the borrower provides a fund with collateral other than cash, the borrower is also obligated to pay the fund a fee for use of the borrowed securities. A fund does not have the right to vote any securities having voting rights during the existence of the loan, but would retain the right to call the loan in anticipation of an important vote to be taken among holders of the securities or of the giving or withholding of their consent on a material matter affecting the investment. As with other extensions of credit, there are risks of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. In addition, a fund could suffer loss if the loan terminates and the fund is forced to liquidate investments at a loss in order to return the cash collateral to the buyer.

The funds will only enter into loan arrangements with broker-dealers, banks or other institutions determined to be creditworthy under guidelines that may be established by the Board of Trustees.

Voluntary Actions

From time to time, a fund may voluntarily participate in actions (for example, rights offerings, conversion privileges, exchange offers, credit event settlements, etc.) where the issuer or counterparty offers securities or instruments to holders or counterparties, such as a fund, and the acquisition is determined to be beneficial to fund shareholders (“Voluntary Action”). Notwithstanding any percentage investment limitation listed under this section or any percentage investment limitation of the 1940 Act or rules thereunder, if a fund has the opportunity to acquire a permitted security or instrument through a Voluntary Action, and the fund will exceed a percentage investment limitation following the acquisition, it will not constitute a violation if, after announcement of the offering, but prior to the receipt of the securities or instruments, the fund sells an offsetting amount of assets that are subject to the investment limitation in question at least equal to the value of the securities or instruments to be acquired.

Portfolio Turnover

Portfolio turnover rate is, in general, the percentage calculated by taking the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio securities (excluding short-term securities) for a year and dividing it by the monthly average of the market value of such securities held during the year.

Changes in security holdings are made by a fund’s sub-adviser when it is deemed necessary. Such changes may result from: liquidity needs; securities having reached a price or yield objective; anticipated changes in interest rates or the credit standing of an issuer; or developments not foreseen at the time of the investment decision.

A sub-adviser may engage in a significant number of short-term transactions if such investing serves the fund’s objective. The rate of portfolio turnover will not be a limiting factor when such short-term investing is considered appropriate. Increased turnover results in higher brokerage costs or mark-up charges for a fund, these charges are ultimately borne by the shareholders.

In computing the portfolio turnover rate, securities whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition are one year or less are excluded. Subject to this exclusion, the turnover rate for the fund is calculated by dividing (a) the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the fiscal year by (b) the monthly average of portfolio securities owned by the fund during the fiscal year.

There are no fixed limitations regarding the portfolio turnover rates of the fund. Portfolio turnover rates are expected to fluctuate under constantly changing economic conditions and market circumstances. Higher turnover rates tend to result in higher brokerage fees. Securities initially satisfying the basic policies and objective of each fund may be disposed of when they are no longer deemed suitable.

31

Historical turnover rates are included in the Financial Highlights tables in the prospectus. Financial Highlights are not included in the fund’s prospectuses as the fund has not yet commenced operations prior to the date of the prospectuses.

Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings

It is the policy of the funds to protect the confidentiality of their holdings and prevent the selective disclosure of non-public information about portfolio holdings. The funds’ service providers are required to comply with this policy. No non-public information concerning the portfolio holdings may be disclosed to any unaffiliated third party, except as provided below. The Board of Trustees has adopted formal procedures governing compliance with these policies.

The funds believe the policy is in the best interests of each fund and its shareholders and that it strikes an appropriate balance between the desire of investors for information about portfolio holdings and the need to protect funds from potentially harmful disclosures. Any conflicts of interest between the interests of fund shareholders and those of Transamerica or its affiliates are addressed in a manner that places the interests of fund shareholders first.

The funds, or their duly authorized service providers, may publicly disclose holdings in accordance with regulatory requirements, such as periodic portfolio disclosure in filings with the SEC. A summary or list of a fund’s completed purchases and sales may only be made available after the public disclosure of portfolio holdings.

The funds publish all holdings on their website at www.transamericafunds.com approximately 25 days after the end of each calendar quarter. Such information generally remains online for 6 months, or as otherwise consistent with applicable regulations. The day following such publication, the information is deemed to be publicly disclosed for the purposes of the policies and procedures adopted by the funds. The funds may then forward the information to investors and consultants requesting it.

There are numerous mutual fund evaluation services and due diligence departments of broker-dealers and wirehouses that regularly analyze the holdings of mutual funds and portfolios in order to monitor and report on various attributes including style, capitalization, maturity, yield, beta, etc. These services and departments then distribute the results of their analysis to the public, paid subscribers and/or in-house brokers. In order to facilitate the review of the funds and portfolios by these services and departments, the funds may distribute (or authorize their service providers to distribute) holdings to such services and departments before their public disclosure is required or authorized provided that: (i) the recipient does not distribute the holdings or results of the analysis to third parties, other departments or persons who are likely to use the information for purposes of purchasing or selling the funds before the holdings or results of the analysis become public information; and (ii) the recipient signs a written confidentiality agreement. Persons and entities unwilling to execute an acceptable confidentiality agreement may only receive portfolio holdings information that has otherwise been publicly disclosed. Neither the funds nor their service providers receive any compensation from such services and departments. Subject to such departures as the funds’ investment adviser and compliance department believe reasonable and consistent with reasonably protecting the confidentiality of the portfolio information, each confidentiality agreement should provide that, among other things: the portfolio information is the confidential property of the funds (and their service providers, if applicable) and may not be shared or used directly or indirectly for any purpose except as expressly provided in the confidentiality agreement. The recipient of the portfolio information agrees to limit access to the portfolio information to its employees (and agents) who, on a need to know basis, are (1) authorized to have access to the portfolio information and (2) subject to a duty of confidentiality, including duties not to share the non-public information with an unauthorized source and not to trade on non-public information. Upon written request, the recipient agrees to promptly return or destroy, as directed, the portfolio information.

The funds (or their authorized service providers) may disclose portfolio information before their public disclosure based on the criteria described above. The frequency with which such information may be disclosed, and the length of the lag, if any, between the disclosure date of the information and the date on which the information is publicly disclosed, varies based on the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement. The funds currently provide portfolio information to the following third parties at the stated frequency as part of ongoing arrangements that include the release of portfolio holdings information in accordance with the policy:

Portfolio holdings information may also be provided at any time (and as frequently as daily) to the funds’ service providers and others who generally need access to such information in the performance of their contractual duties and responsibilities, such as TAM, the sub-advisers, the custodian, administrator, sub-administrator, independent public accountants, attorneys, and the funds’ officers and trustees, subject to a duty of confidentiality with respect to any portfolio holdings information. TAM also receives portfolio holdings information to assist in the selection of underlying funds for certain asset allocation funds.

In addition to these ongoing arrangements, the policy permits the release by the funds (or their authorized service providers) of the following information concerning a fund, provided that the information has been publicly disclosed (via the funds’ website or otherwise):

•	Top Ten Holdings – A fund’s top ten holdings and the total percentage of the fund such aggregate holdings represent.

32

•	Sector Holdings – A fund’s sector information and the total percentage of the fund held in each sector.
•	Other Portfolio Characteristic Data – Any other analytical data with respect to a fund that does not identify any specific portfolio holding.
•	Funds of ETFs and Funds of Funds – For any fund whose investments (other than cash alternatives) consist solely of shares of ETFs or other Funds, no sooner than 10 days after the end of a month the names of the ETFs or Funds held as of the end of that month and the percentage of the fund’s net assets held in each ETF or Fund as of the end of that month.

The Board and an appropriate officer of the Investment Adviser’s compliance department or the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) may, on a case-by-case basis, impose additional restrictions on the dissemination of portfolio information and waive certain requirements. Any exceptions to the policy must be consistent with the purposes of the policy. The CCO reports to the Board material compliance violations of the funds’ policies and procedures on disclosure of portfolio holdings.

Morningstar Associates, LLC, the portfolio construction manager of certain asset allocation funds, receives portfolio holdings information to assist in the selection of underlying funds for those asset allocation funds. Information concerning the portfolio holdings of certain portfolios may be disclosed to the risk assessment department of Transamerica insurance companies solely to allow them to hedge their obligations under variable annuity and life products. Morningstar Associates, LLC and each applicable Transamerica insurance company have signed confidentiality agreements.

In addition, separate account and unregistered product clients of TAM, the sub-advisers of the funds, or their respective affiliates generally have access to information regarding the portfolio holdings of their own accounts. Prospective clients may also have access to representative portfolio holdings. These clients and prospective clients are not subject to the portfolio holdings disclosure policies described above. Some of these separate accounts and unregistered product clients have substantially similar or identical investment objectives and strategies to certain funds, and therefore may have substantially similar or nearly identical portfolio holdings as those funds.

Certain information in the above section may not apply to all of the Trusts managed by the Investment Adviser.

Commodity Exchange Act Registration

The fund is operated by the Investment Adviser pursuant to an exclusion from registration as a “commodity pool operator” (“CPO”) under the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”), and therefore, is not subject to registration or regulation under the CEA. The fund is limited in its ability to enter into commodity interests positions subject to Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) jurisdiction.

The fund and the Investment Adviser are continuing to analyze the effect of these rules on the fund.

Management of the Trust

Board Members and Officers

The Board Members and executive officers of the Trust are listed below.

Interested Board Member means a board member who may be deemed an “interested person” (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust because of his current or former service with TAM or an affiliate of TAM. Interested Board Members may also be referred to herein as “Interested Trustees.” Independent Board Member means a Board Member who is not an “interested person” (as defined under the 1940 Act) of the Trust and may also be referred to herein as an “Independent Trustee.”

The Board governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of the shareholders. The Board Members are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the business affairs of each fund and the operation of each fund by its officers. The Board also reviews the management of each fund’s assets by the investment adviser and its respective sub-adviser.

The funds are among the funds advised and sponsored by TAM (collectively, “Transamerica Mutual Funds”). The Transamerica Mutual Funds consist of Transamerica Funds, Transamerica Series Trust (“TST”), Transamerica Income Shares, Inc. (“TIS”), Transamerica Partners Funds Group (“TPFG”), Transamerica Partners Funds Group II (“TPFG II”), Transamerica Partners Portfolios (“TPP”) and Transamerica Asset Allocation Variable Funds (“TAAVF”) and consists of [177] funds as of the date of this SAI.

The mailing address of each Board Member is c/o Secretary, 570 Carillon Parkway, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716.

The Board Members, their year of birth, their positions with the Trust, and their principal occupations for the past five years (their titles may have varied during that period), the number of funds in Transamerica Mutual Funds the Board oversees, and other board memberships they hold are set forth in the table below.

*	Elected and serves at the pleasure of the Board of the Trust.

If an officer has held offices for different funds for different periods of time, the earliest applicable date is shown. No officer of the Trust, except for the Chief Compliance Officer, receives any compensation from the Trust.

Each of the Board Members, other than Mr. Jennings, Mr. Swank and Mr. Warrick, previously served as a trustee or director of the TAM, Diversified or Premier fund family, and each Board Member was thus initially selected by the board of the applicable predecessor fund family. In connection with the consolidation of all “manager of managers” investment advisory services within Transamerica in 2007, a single board was established to oversee the TAM and Diversified fund families, and each of the Board Members, other than Ms. Bane, Mr.

41

Jennings, Mr. Swank and Mr. Warrick, joined the Board at that time. The Board was established with a view both to ensuring continuity of representation by board members of the TAM and Diversified fund families on the Board and in order to establish a Board with experience in and focused on overseeing various types of funds, which experience would be further developed and enhanced over time. Ms. Bane joined the Board in 2008 when the Premier fund family was consolidated into Transamerica Mutual Funds. Mr. Jennings joined the Board in 2009. Mr. Swank and Mr. Warrick joined the Board in 2012.

The Board believes that each Board Member’s experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Board Members lead to the conclusion that the Board possesses the requisite skills and attributes. The Board believes that the Board Members’ ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, to interact effectively with TAM, the sub-advisers, other services providers, counsel and independent auditors, and to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties, support this conclusion. The Board also has considered the following experience, qualifications, attributes and/or skills, among others, of its members in reaching its conclusion: his or her character and integrity; such person’s service as a board member of a predecessor fund family (other than Mr. Jennings, Mr. Swank and Mr. Warrick); such person’s willingness to serve and willingness and ability to commit the time necessary to perform the duties of a Board Member; the fact that such person’s service would be consistent with the requirements of the retirement policies of the Trust; as to each Board Member other than Mr. Swank and Mr. Warrick, his or her status as not being an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act; as to Mr. Swank, his status as a representative of TAM; and, as to Mr. Warrick, his former service in various executive positions for certain affiliates of TAM. In addition, the following specific experience, qualifications, attributes and/or skills apply as to each Board Member: Ms. Bane, accounting experience and experience as a board member of multiple organizations; Mr. Hill, financial and entrepreneurial experience as an executive, owner and consultant; Mr. Jennings, investment management experience as an executive of investment management organizations and portfolio manager; Mr. Kimball, business experience as an executive; Mr. Mannella, accounting and fund administration experience, investment management industry experience as an executive and consultant; Mr. Nielsen, academic leadership, insurance, business development and board experience; Ms. Norden, non-profit executive experience and extensive board and academic leadership; Ms. Sawyer, management consulting and board experience; Mr. Waechter, securities industry and fund accounting and fund compliance experience, legal experience and board experience; Mr. Swank, investment management and insurance experience as an executive and leadership roles with TAM and affiliated entities; and Mr. Warrick, financial services industry experience as an executive and consultant with various TAM affiliates and other entities. References to the qualifications, attributes and skills of Board Members are pursuant to requirements of the SEC do not constitute holding out of the Board or any Board Member as having any special expertise or experience, and shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on any such person or on the Board by reason thereof.

The Board is responsible for overseeing the management and operations of the funds. Mr. Swank serves as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Swank is an interested person of the funds. Independent Board Members constitute more than 75% of the Board.

The Board currently believes that an interested Chairman is appropriate and is in the best interests of the funds and their shareholders, and that its committees, as further described below, help ensure that the funds have effective and independent governance and oversight. The Board believes that an interested Chairman has a professional interest in the quality of the services provided to the funds and that the Chairman is best equipped to provide oversight of such services on a day-to-day basis because of TAM’s sponsorship of the funds and TAM’s ongoing monitoring of the investment sub-advisers that manage the assets of each fund. The Board also believes that its leadership structure facilitates the orderly and efficient flow of information to the Independent Board Members from management. The Independent Board Members also believe that they can effectively act independently without having an Independent Board Members act as Chairman. Among other reasons, this belief is based on the fact that the Independent Board Members represent over 75% of the Board.

Board Committees

The Board has two standing committees: the Audit Committee and Nominating Committee. Both the Audit Committee and Nominating Committee are chaired by an Independent Board Member and composed of all of the Independent Board Members. In addition, the Board has a Lead Independent Board Member.

The Lead Independent Board Member and the chairs of the Audit and Nominating Committees work with the Chairman to set the agendas for Board and committee meetings. The Lead Independent Board Member also serves as a key point person for dealings between management and the Independent Board Members. Through the funds’ board committees, the Independent Board Members consider and address important matters involving the funds, including those presenting conflicts or potential conflicts of interest for management, and they believe they can act independently and effectively. The Board believes that its leadership structure is appropriate and facilitates the orderly and efficient flow of information to the Independent Board Members from management.

The Audit Committee, among other things, oversees the accounting and reporting policies and practices and internal controls of the Trust, oversees the quality and integrity of the financial statements of the Trust, approves, prior to appointment, the engagement of the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm, reviews and evaluates the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, independence and performance, and approves the compensation of the independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee also approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided to each fund by the independent registered public accounting firm and all permissible non-audit services provided by each fund’s independent registered public accounting firm to TAM and any affiliated service providers if the engagement relates directly to each fund’s operations and financial reporting.

42

The Nominating Committee is a forum for identifying, considering, selecting and nominating, or recommending for nomination by the Board, candidates to fill vacancies on the Board. The Nominating Committee may consider diversity in identifying potential candidates, including differences of viewpoint, professional experience and skill, as well as such other individual qualities and attributes as it may deem relevant. The Nominating Committee has not adopted a formal procedure for the implementation, or for assessing the effectiveness, of its policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying potential candidates.

When addressing vacancies, the Nominating Committee sets any necessary standards or qualifications for service on the Board and may consider nominees recommended by any source it deems appropriate, including management and shareholders. Shareholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send recommendations to the Trust’s Secretary that include all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of Board Members. A recommendation must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board and to serve if elected by the shareholders.

The Nominating Committee also identifies potential nominees through its network of contacts and may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm. The committee meets to discuss and consider such candidates’ qualifications and then chooses a candidate by majority vote. The committee does not have specific, minimum qualifications for nominees, nor has it established specific qualities or skills that it regards as necessary for one or more of the Board Members to possess (other than any qualities or skills that may be required by applicable law, regulation or listing standard). The committee has, however, established (and reviews from time to time as it deems appropriate) certain desired qualities and qualifications for nominees, including certain personal attributes and certain skills and experience.

Risk Oversight

Through its oversight of the management and operations of the funds, the Board also has a risk oversight function, which includes (without limitation) the following: (i) requesting and reviewing reports on the operations of the funds (such as reports about the performance of the funds); (ii) reviewing compliance reports and approving compliance policies and procedures of the funds and their service providers; (iii) meeting with management to consider areas of risk and to seek assurances that adequate resources are available to address risks; (iv) meeting with service providers, including fund auditors, to review fund activities; and (v) meeting with the Chief Compliance Officer and other officers of the funds and their service providers to receive information about compliance, and risk assessment and management matters. Such oversight is exercised primarily through the Board and its Audit Committee but, on an ad hoc basis, also can be exercised by the Independent Board Members during executive sessions. The Board has emphasized to TAM and the sub-advisers the importance of maintaining vigorous risk management.

The Board recognizes that not all risks that may affect the funds can be identified, that it may not be practical or cost-effective to eliminate or mitigate certain risks, that it may be necessary to bear certain risks (such as investment-related risks) to achieve the funds’ goals, and that the processes, procedures and controls employed to address certain risks may be limited in their effectiveness. Moreover, reports received by the Board Members as to risk management matters are typically summaries of the relevant information. Most of the funds’ investment management and business affairs are carried out by or through TAM, its affiliates, the sub-advisers and other service providers each of which has an independent interest in risk management but whose policies and the methods by which one or more risk management functions are carried out may differ from the funds’ and each other’s in the setting of priorities, the resources available or the effectiveness of relevant controls. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the Board’s risk management oversight is subject to substantial limitations. In addition, some risks may be beyond the reasonable control of the Board, the funds, TAM, its affiliates, the sub-advisers or other service providers.

In addition, it is important to note that each fund is designed for investors that are prepared to accept investment risk, including the possibility that as yet unforeseen risks may emerge in the future.

Additional Information about the Committees of the Board

Both the Audit Committee and Nominating Committee are composed of all of the Independent Board Members. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, the Audit Committee met six times and the Nominating Committee met one time.

Trustee Ownership of Equity Securities

The table below gives the dollar range of shares of the fund, as well as the aggregate dollar range of shares of all funds/portfolios in the Transamerica Mutual Funds, owned by each current Trustee as of December 31, 2013.

43

[As of December 31, 2013, none of the Independent Board Members or their immediate family members owned beneficially or of record any securities of the Adviser, sub-advisers or Distributor of the funds, or in a person (other than a registered investment company) directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser, sub-advisers or Distributor of the funds except as follows: Joyce G. Norden may have been deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”) as a result of beneficial ownership by an immediate family member of debt securities issued by JPMorgan. As of December 31, 2013, her immediate family member’s holdings of securities issued by JPMorgan (2.00% Notes due 2017) had a market value of $[__]. In each case, the amount of securities owned by Ms. Norden’s immediately family member represented substantially less than one percent of the total principal amount of the applicable debt offering. The securities were disposed of after December 31, 2013 and prior to the date of this SAI. JPMorgan is a controlling person of J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc., sub-adviser to Transamerica Core Bond, Transamerica Long/Short Strategy, Transamerica Mid Cap Value, and Transamerica Multi-Managed Balanced.

As indicated above, Eugene M. Mannella, an Independent Trustee, is the chief executive officer of HedgeServ Corporation, a provider of hedge fund administration and accounting services. Mr. Mannella also has an economic interest in HedgeServ Corporation, and serves on the board of HedgeServ Limited, an affiliate of HedgeServ Corporation. HedgeServ Limited provides hedge fund administration and accounting services to funds managed by [Fund/Entity Name], the sub-adviser to Transamerica [_________]. Mr. Mannella is not personally involved in the services provided to [_________]. Given his roles with and/or interest in HedgeServ Corporation and HedgeServ Limited, however, Mr. Mannella may be considered to benefit indirectly from HedgeServ Limited’s relationship with [_________]. During the calendar years 2011 and 2012, the revenues from services provided to [_________] represented less than 2.0% of HedgeServ Limited’s revenues per year.]

Trustee Compensation

As of January 1, 2014, Independent Board compensation is determined as follows: Independent Board Members receive a total annual retainer fee of $135,000 from the funds/portfolios that make up the Transamerica Mutual Funds, as well as $9,000 for each regularly scheduled meeting attended and each special meeting requiring an in-person quorum (whether attended in-person or telephonically). The Independent Board Members receive $2,500 for each telephonic meeting attended. Additionally, each member of the Audit Committee and Nominating Committee receives a total annual retainer fee of $25,000.

The Trust pays a pro rata share of these fees allocable to each series of the Trust based on the relative assets of the series.

The Lead Independent Trustee of the Board also receives an additional retainer of $40,000 per year. The Audit Committee Chairperson receives an additional retainer of $20,000 per year. The Trust also pays a pro rata share allocable to each series of Transamerica Funds based on the relative assets of the series for the Lead Independent Trustee and Audit Committee Chairperson retainers. Any fees and expenses paid to an Interested Trustee and officers are paid by TAM or an affiliate and not by the Trust, except for the Chief Compliance Officer.

Under a non-qualified deferred compensation plan effective January 1, 1996, as amended and restated January 1, 2010 (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), available to the Board Members, compensation may be deferred that would otherwise be payable by the Trust to an Independent Board Member on a current basis for services rendered as a Board Member. Deferred compensation amounts will accumulate based on the value of Class A (or comparable) shares of a series of Transamerica Funds (without imposition of sales charge), as elected by the Board Members.

Amounts deferred and accrued under the Deferred Compensation Plan are unfunded and unsecured claims against the general assets of the Trust.

Shareholder Communication Procedures with the Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust has adopted these procedures by which shareholders of the Trust may send written communications to the Board. Shareholders may mail written communications to the Board, addressed to the care of the Secretary of the Trust (“Secretary”), as follows:

Board of Trustees
Transamerica Funds
c/o Secretary
570 Carillon Parkway
St. Petersburg, Florida 33716

Each shareholder communication must (i) be in writing and be signed by the shareholder, (ii) identify the underlying series of the Trust to which it relates, and (iii) identify the class (if applicable) held by the shareholder. The Secretary is responsible for collecting, reviewing and organizing all properly submitted shareholder communications. Usually, with respect to each properly submitted shareholder communication, the Secretary shall either (i) provide a copy of the communication to the Board at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting or (ii) if the Secretary determines that the communication requires more immediate attention, forward the communication to the Board promptly after receipt. The Secretary may, in good faith, determine that a shareholder communication should not be provided to the Board because the communication (i) does not reasonably relate to a series of the Trust or its operation, management, activities, policies, service providers, Board, officers, shareholders or other matters relating to an investment in the Trust, or (ii) is ministerial in nature (such as a request for Trust literature, share data or financial information). These Procedures shall not apply to (i) any communication from an officer or Trustee of the Trust, (ii) any communication from an employee or agent of the Trust, unless such communication is made solely in such employee’s or agent’s capacity as a shareholder, (iii) any shareholder proposal submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) or any communication made in connection with such a proposal, or (iv) any communication that reasonably may be considered to be a complaint regarding the Trust or shareholder services, which complaint shall instead be promptly forwarded to the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer. The Trustees are not required to attend the Trust’s shareholder meetings, if any, or to otherwise make themselves available to shareholders for communications, other than pursuant to these Procedures.

Code of Ethics

The Trust, TAM, each sub-adviser and TCI have each adopted a Code of Ethics as required by applicable law, which is designed to prevent affiliated persons of the Trust, TAM, each sub-adviser and TCI from engaging in deceptive, manipulative, or fraudulent activities in connection with securities held or to be acquired by the funds (which may also be held by persons subject to a code of ethics). There can be no assurance that the codes of ethics will be effective in preventing such activities.

Pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act, the funds, TAM, the sub-advisers and the distributor each have adopted a code of ethics that permits their personnel to invest in securities for their own accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by a fund. All personnel must place the interests of clients first, must not act upon non-public information, must not take inappropriate advantage of their positions, and are required to fulfill their fiduciary obligations. All personal securities transactions by employees must adhere to the requirements of the codes of ethics and must be conducted in such a manner as to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest, the appearance of such a conflict, or the abuse of an employee’s position of trust and responsibility.

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

TAM exercises voting discretion for Transamerica Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio and Transamerica Opportunistic Allocation. The respective sub-advisers determine how to vote proxies relating to securities held by the remainder of the funds. The proxy voting policies and procedures of TAM and the sub-advisers are attached hereto as Appendix A.

TAM’s proxy voting policy and procedures address material conflicts of interest that may arise between TAM or its affiliates and the funds by either: (i) providing for voting in accordance with the recommendation of an independent third party or the Board; or (ii) obtaining the consent of the Board (or a Board Committee) with full disclosure of the conflict.

The Trust files SEC Form N-PX, with the complete proxy voting records of the funds for the 12 months ended June 30th, no later than August 31st of each year. The Form is available without charge: (1) upon request by calling 1-888-233-4339; and (2) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

I. Statement of Principle

The funds seek to assure that proxies received by the funds are voted in the best interests of the funds’ stockholders and have accordingly adopted these procedures.

46

II. Delegation of Proxy Voting/Adoption of Adviser and Sub-Adviser Policies

Each fund delegates the authority to vote proxies related to portfolio securities to TAM (the “Adviser”), as investment adviser to each fund, which in turn delegates proxy voting authority for most funds of the Trust to the Sub-Adviser retained to provide day-to-day portfolio management for that fund. The Board of Trustees (“Board”) of each fund adopts the proxy voting policies and procedures of the Adviser and Sub-Advisers as the proxy voting policies and procedures (each a “Proxy Voting Policy”) that will be used by each of these respective entities when exercising voting authority on behalf of the fund. These policies and procedures are herein.

III. Annual Review of Proxy Voting Policies of Adviser and Sub-Advisers

No less frequently than once each calendar year, the Proxy Voting Administrator will request each Sub-Adviser to provide a current copy of its Proxy Voting Policy, or certify that there have been no material changes to its Proxy Voting Policy or that all material changes have been previously provided for review, and verify that such Proxy Voting Policy is consistent with those of the funds and Adviser. Any inconsistency between the Sub-Adviser’s Proxy Voting Policy and that of the funds or Adviser shall be reconciled by the Proxy Voting Administrator before presentation for approval by the Board.

The Proxy Voting Administrator will provide an electronic copy of each Board approved Proxy Voting Policy to the legal department for inclusion in applicable SEC filings.

IV. Securities on Loan

The Board has authorized the Adviser, in conjunction with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), located at One Lincoln Street, Boston, MA 02111, to lend portfolio securities on behalf of the funds. Securities on loan generally are voted by the borrower of such securities. Should a Sub-Adviser to the fund wish to exercise its vote for a particular proxy, the Adviser will immediately contact State Street and terminate the loan.

Investment Advisory and Other Services

The Investment Adviser

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”), on behalf of each fund with TAM. TAM, located at 570 Carillon Parkway, St. Petersburg, FL 33716, supervises each respective fund’s investments and conducts its investment program. TAM currently acts as a “manager of managers” and hires sub-advisers to furnish day-to-day investment advice and recommendations. TAM may, in the future, determine to provide the day-to-day management of any such fund without the use of a sub-adviser.

TAM provides continuous and regular investment advisory services to the funds. When acting as a manager of managers, TAM provides 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 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 process; 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, 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 regulatory filings for the funds; oversight of other service providers to the funds, such as the custodian, the transfer agent, the funds’ independent accounting firm and legal counsel; supervision of the performance of recordkeeping and shareholder relations functions for the funds; and ongoing cash management services. TAM uses a variety of quantitative and qualitative tools to carry out its investment advisory services.

The Investment Adviser is directly owned by Western Reserve Life Assurance Company of Ohio (77%) and AUSA Holding Company (“AUSA”) (23%), both of which are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Aegon NV. AUSA is wholly owned by Aegon USA, LLC (“Aegon USA”), a financial services holding company whose primary emphasis is on life and health insurance, and annuity and investment products. Aegon USA is owned by Aegon US Holding Corporation, which is owned by Transamerica Corporation (DE). Transamerica Corporation (DE) is owned by The Aegon Trust, which is owned by Aegon International B.V., which is owned by Aegon NV, a Netherlands corporation, which is a publicly traded international insurance group. Prior to January 1, 2008, TAM was known as Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc.

Advisory Agreement

TAM has agreed, under each fund’s Advisory Agreement, to regularly provide the fund with investment advisory services, including management, supervision and investment research and advice and shall furnish a continuous investment program for the fund’s portfolio of securities and other investments consistent with the fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The investment advisory services

47

to be provided shall be subject to the supervision of the Trust’s Board and shall include the design, development and ongoing review and evaluation of a 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 a fund; 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 a fund; 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 a fund’s prospectus, SAI, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and regulatory filings for a fund; and ongoing cash management services. TAM is permitted to enter into contracts with sub-advisers, subject to the Board’s approval. TAM has entered into sub-advisory agreements, as described below.

As compensation for services performed, each fund pays TAM a fee computed daily at an annual rate of each fund’s average daily net assets as described below. TAM bears all expenses incurred by it in the performance of its duties under each fund’s Advisory Agreement. A fund bears all expenses not expressly assumed by TAM incurred in the operation of the fund and the offering of its shares.

The Advisory Agreement for a fund will terminate, unless sooner terminated as set forth therein, two years from its effective date, and will continue in effect from year to year thereafter, if continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the vote of a majority of the Board Members who are not parties thereto or interested persons of any party thereto, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the approval of the terms of renewal, and by (ii) either the Board or the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that fund.

Each Advisory Agreement provides that TAM may render services to others. Under each fund’s Advisory Agreement, TAM assumes no responsibility other than to render the services called for by the Advisory Agreement in good faith, and TAM and its affiliates will not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law, or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution of securities transactions for the fund. TAM and its affiliates are not protected, however, against any liability to a fund to which TAM or an affiliate would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Advisory Agreement.

Each Advisory Agreement provides that it may be terminated with respect to any fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, upon 60 days’ written notice to TAM, or by TAM upon 60 days’ written notice to the fund. A fund may effect termination by action of the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the fund, accompanied by appropriate notice. The Advisory Agreement terminates automatically in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act).

Investment Adviser Compensation

TAM receives compensation calculated daily and paid monthly from the funds. The Advisory fees each fund paid, as a percentage of each fund’s average daily net assets, are included in the fund’s prospectus.

Fund Name	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets
Transamerica Mid Cap Value Opportunities	0.67% of the first $750 million 0.665% over $750 million up to $1.5 billion 0.655% over $1.5 billion up to $2 billion 0.6475% in excess of $2 billion

Expense Limitation

TAM has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Trust on behalf of certain funds, pursuant to which TAM has agreed to reimburse a fund’s expenses or waive fees, or both, whenever, in any fiscal year, the total cost to a fund of normal operating expenses chargeable to the fund, including the investment advisory fee but excluding, as applicable, 12b-1 fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on securities sold short, extraordinary expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business) exceed a certain percentage of the fund’s average daily net assets (“expense cap”). The funds may, at a later date, reimburse TAM for operating expenses previously paid on behalf of such funds during the previous 36 months (36-month reimbursement), but only if, after such reimbursement, the funds’ expense ratios do not exceed the expense cap. The agreement continues automatically for one-year terms unless TAM provides written notice to the Trust prior to the end of the then-current term. In addition, the agreement will terminate upon termination of the Advisory Agreement.

Currently, each fund is included in the 36-month reimbursement arrangement.

The applicable expense caps for each of the funds are listed in the following table.

48

Conflicts of Interest

TAM and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and personnel (collectively, for purposes of this section, “Transamerica”), including the entities and personnel who may be involved in the management, operations or distribution of the funds are engaged in a variety of businesses and have interests other than that of managing the funds. The broad range of activities and interests of Transamerica gives rise to actual, potential and perceived conflicts of interest that could affect the funds and their shareholders.

Transamerica manages or advises other funds and products in addition to the funds (collectively, the “Other Accounts”). In some cases Transamerica oversees sub-advisers who perform the day-to-day management of the Other Accounts, and in other cases Transamerica itself performs the day-to-day management. Certain Other Accounts have investment objectives similar to those of the funds and/or engage in transactions in the same types of securities and instruments as the funds. Such transactions could affect the prices and availability of the securities and instruments in which a fund invests, and could have an adverse impact on the fund’s performance. Other Accounts may buy or sell positions while the funds are undertaking the same or a differing, including potentially opposite, strategy, which could disadvantage the funds. A position taken by Transamerica, on behalf of one or more Other Accounts, may be contrary to a position taken on behalf of a fund or may be adverse to a company or issuer in which the fund has invested.

The results of the investment activities of the funds may differ significantly from the results achieved for Other Accounts. Transamerica may give advice, and take action, with respect to any current or future Other Accounts that may compete or conflict with advice TAM may give to, or actions TAM may take for, the funds. Transamerica may receive more compensation with respect to certain Other Accounts than that received with respect to the funds or may receive compensation based on the performance of certain Other Accounts. Transamerica personnel may have greater economic and other interests in certain Other Accounts promoted or managed by such personnel as compared to the funds.

Transamerica and other financial service providers have conflicts associated with their promotion of the funds or other dealings with the funds that would create incentives for them to promote the funds. Transamerica may directly or indirectly receive a portion of the fees and commissions charged to the funds or their shareholders. Transamerica will also benefit from increased amounts of assets under management. This differential in compensation may create a financial incentive on the part of Transamerica to recommend the funds over other accounts or products or to effect transactions differently in the funds as compared to other accounts or products. Transamerica has an interest in increasing fund assets, including in circumstances when that may not be in the funds’ or their shareholders’ interests.

Transamerica and/or the funds’ sub-advisers (or their affiliates), out of their past profits and other available sources, provide cash payments or non-cash compensation to brokers and other financial intermediaries to promote the distribution of the funds and Other Accounts or the variable insurance contracts that invest in certain Other Accounts. These arrangements are sometimes referred to as “revenue sharing” arrangements. The amount of revenue sharing payments is substantial and may be substantial to any given recipient. The presence of these payments and the basis on which an intermediary compensates its registered representatives or salespersons may create an incentive for a particular intermediary, registered representative or salesperson to highlight, feature or recommend the funds or Other Accounts, at least in part, based on the level of compensation paid. Revenue sharing payments benefit Transamerica to the extent the payments result in more assets being invested in the funds and Other Accounts on which fees are being charged.

Certain Other Accounts are offered as investment options through variable insurance contracts offered and sold by Transamerica insurance companies. TAM also acts as an investment adviser with respect to an asset allocation program offered for use in certain variable insurance contracts issued by Transamerica insurance companies. The performance of the Other Accounts and/or asset allocation models may impact Transamerica’s financial exposure under guarantees that the Transamerica insurance companies provide as issuers of the variable insurance contracts. TAM’s investment decisions and the design of the Other Accounts may be influenced by these factors. For example, the Other Accounts or the models being managed or designed in a more conservative fashion may help reduce potential losses and/or mitigate financial risks to the Transamerica insurance companies that provide the guarantees, and facilitate the provision of those guaranteed benefits, including by making more predictable the costs of the guarantees and by reducing the capital needed to provide them. In addition, certain asset allocation models may include Other Accounts as investment options, and Transamerica will receive more revenue if TAM selects such Other Accounts to be included in the models.

49

TAM serves as investment adviser to certain funds of funds that invest in affiliated underlying funds, unaffiliated underlying funds, or a combination of both, including certain of the funds, and TAM is subject to conflicts of interest in allocating the funds of fund’s assets among the underlying funds. Certain of the funds of funds are underlying investment options for Transamerica insurance products. TAM will receive more revenue when it selects an affiliated fund rather than an unaffiliated fund for inclusion in a fund of funds. This conflict may provide an incentive for TAM to include affiliated funds as investment options for funds of funds and to cause investments by funds of funds in affiliated funds that perform less well than unaffiliated funds. The inclusion of affiliated funds will also permit TAM and/or the sub-adviser to make increased revenue sharing payments, including to Transamerica. The affiliates of certain underlying unaffiliated funds also make revenue sharing payments to Transamerica. Such payments are generally made in exchange for distribution services provided to the fund of funds, but may also be compensation for services provided to investors. In addition, TAM may have an incentive to allocate the fund of fund’s assets to those underlying funds for which the net advisory fees payable to TAM are higher than the fees payable by other underlying funds or to those underlying funds for which an affiliate of TAM serves as the sub-adviser.

TAM may have a financial incentive to implement certain changes to the funds or Other Accounts. TAM may, from time to time, recommend a change in sub-adviser or a fund combination. Transamerica will benefit to the extent that an affiliated sub-adviser replaces an unaffiliated sub-adviser or additional assets are combined into a fund or Other Account having a higher net advisory fee payable to TAM and/or that is sub-advised by an affiliate of TAM. TAM will also benefit to the extent that it replaces a sub-adviser with a new sub-adviser with a lower sub-advisory fee. TAM has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of a fund or Other Account and its shareholders when recommending to the Board the appointment of or continued service of an affiliated sub-adviser for a fund or Other Account or a fund combination.

Moreover, TAM's “manager of managers” exemptive order from the SEC requires fund shareholder approval of any sub-advisory agreement appointing an affiliated sub-adviser as the sub-adviser to a fund (in the case of a new fund, the initial sole shareholder of the fund, typically an affiliate of Transamerica, may provide this approval).

Sub-Adviser

Each sub-adviser listed below serves, pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement between TAM and such sub-adviser, as sub-adviser to the applicable fund. Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements, each sub-adviser carries out and effectuates the investment strategy designed for the funds by TAM. Subject to review by the Investment Adviser and the Board of Trustees, the sub-advisers are responsible for the day-to-day management of the fund(s) the Investment Adviser assigns to them and for making decisions to buy, sell or hold a particular security. Each sub-adviser bears all of its expenses in connection with the performance of its services under its sub-advisory agreement such as compensating its officers and employees connected with investment and economic research, trading and investment management of the respective fund(s) and furnishing them office space.

Each sub-advisory agreement will terminate, unless sooner terminated as set forth therein, two years from its effective date, and will continue in effect from year to year thereafter, if continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the vote of a majority of the Board Members who are not parties thereto or interested persons of any party thereto, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the approval of the terms of renewal, and by (ii) either the Board or the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the particular fund.

Each of the sub-advisers also serves as investment adviser or sub-adviser to other funds and/or private accounts that may have investment objectives identical or similar to those of the funds. Securities frequently meet the investment objectives of one or all of these funds, the other funds and the private accounts. In such cases, a sub-adviser’s decision to recommend a purchase to one fund or account rather than another is based on a number of factors as set forth in the sub-advisers’ allocation procedures. The determining factors in most cases are the amounts available for investment by each fund or account, the amount of securities of the issuer then outstanding, the value of those securities and the market for them. Another factor considered in the investment recommendations is other investments which each fund or account presently has in a particular industry.

It is possible that at times identical securities will be held by more than one fund or account. However, positions in the same issue may vary and the length of time that any fund or account may choose to hold its investment in the same issue may likewise vary. To the extent that more than one of the funds or private accounts served by a sub-adviser seeks to acquire or sell the same security at about the same time, either the price obtained by the funds or the amount of securities that may be purchased or sold by a fund at one time may be adversely affected. On the other hand, if the same securities are bought or sold at the same time by more than one fund or account, the resulting participation in volume transactions could produce better executions for the funds. In the event more than one fund or account purchases or sells the same security on a given date, the purchase and sale transactions are allocated among the fund(s), the other funds and the private accounts in a manner believed by the sub-advisers to be equitable to each.

Each sub-adviser is a registered investment adviser under the 1940 Act.

Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC, located at 4333 Edgewood Road NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52499, is a registered investment adviser. Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC is a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Aegon NV, a Netherlands corporation and publicly traded international insurance group, and is an affiliate of TAM.

Administrative Services

The Trust has entered into an Administrative Services Agreement (“Administration Agreement”) with Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. (“TFS”), 570 Carillon Parkway, St. Petersburg, FL 33716, an affiliate of TAM.

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 fund 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 fund from time to time, monitoring and verifying the custodian’s daily calculation of net asset values; 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 fund investments; recommending and implementing 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 fund’s custodian and its dividend disbursing agent and monitoring their services to the fund; assisting the fund in preparing reports to shareholders; preparation of agendas and supporting documents for and minutes of meetings of Trustees and committees of Trustees; 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 fund. TFS pays all expenses it incurs in connection with providing these services in the Administration Agreement with the exception of the costs of certain services specifically assumed by 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 Trustee and shareholder reports; preparing drafts of regulatory filings, Trustee materials, tax returns, expenses and budgeting; tax compliance testing; and maintaining books and records. State Street’s address is One Lincoln Street, Boston, MA 02111.

TFS has agreed to render in good faith the services specified in the Administration Agreement and is not liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law, or for any act or omission in the performance of those services, provided that nothing in the Agreement protects TFS against any liability to a fund to which TFS otherwise would be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Agreement. The Administration Agreement provides that it may be terminated with respect to any fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, upon 60 days’ written notice to TFS, or by TFS upon 60 days’ written notice to the fund.

51

The funds, other than the Asset Allocation funds, each pay 0.025% of their daily net assets to TFS for such administrative services. The fee is 0.0175% of daily net assets for the Asset Allocation funds.

The funds paid administrative services fees in the following amounts for the last three fiscal years:

“N/A” in the table below indicates that the fund was not in operation during the relevant fiscal year and, accordingly, no administrative service fees are shown.”

Custodian

State Street, located at 200 Clarendon Street, 16 ^th Floor, Boston, MA 02116, serves as the Trust’s custodian.

State Street, among other things, maintains a custody account or accounts in the name of each fund, receives and delivers all assets for the funds upon purchase and upon sale or maturity, collects and receives all income and other payments and distributions on account of the assets of the funds and makes disbursements on behalf of the funds. State Street neither determines the funds’ investment policies nor decides which securities the funds will buy or sell. For its services, State Street receives a monthly fee based upon the daily average market value of securities held in custody and also receives securities transaction charges, including out-of-pocket expenses. The funds may also periodically enter into arrangements with other qualified custodians with respect to certain types of securities or other transactions such as repurchase agreements or derivatives transactions. State Street may also act as the funds’ securities lending agent and in that case would receive a share of the income generated by such activities.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

[__________] serves as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Distributor and Distribution Plan

Distributor

Under the Underwriting Agreement, Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”), located at 4600 South Syracuse Street, Suite 1100, Denver, CO 80237, is appointed as principal underwriter and distributor in connection with the offering and sale of shares of each fund. TCI is an affiliate of TAM. TCI offers the shares on an agency or “best efforts” basis under which a fund issues only the number of shares actually sold. Shares of each fund are continuously offered by TCI.

52

The Underwriting Agreement is renewable from year to year with respect to a fund if approved (a) by the Board or by a vote of a majority of the fund’s outstanding voting securities, and (b) by the affirmative vote of a majority of Trustees who are not parties to such agreement or interested persons of any party by votes cast in person at a meeting called for such purpose.

The Underwriting Agreement is terminable with respect to any fund without penalty by the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the fund, or by TCI, on not less than 60 days’ written notice to the other party (unless the notice period is waived by mutual consent). The Underwriting Agreement will automatically and immediately terminate in the event of its assignment.

The Trust adopted a distribution plan (“12b-1 Distribution Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act applicable to Class A, Class C and Class R shares of the fund, as applicable. Class I shares, Class I2 shares and Class T shares are not subject to distribution and service fees. Effective November 1, 2013, Class B shares were no longer available to existing investors except for exchanges and dividend and capital gains reinvestment.

Each fund’s 12b-1 Distribution Plan permits the fund to pay fees to TCI and others as compensation for their services, not as reimbursement for specific expenses incurred. Thus, even if their expenses exceed the fees provided for by the 12b-1 Distribution Plan, the fund would not be obligated to pay more than those fees and, if their expenses are less than the fees paid to them, they will realize a profit. Under each 12b-1 Distribution Plan, a fund may pay the fees to the Distributor and others until the 12b-1 Distribution Plan is terminated or not renewed.

The 12b-1 Distribution Plan will remain in effect for successive one year periods, so long as such continuance is approved annually by vote of the fund’s Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such continuance. For so long as the 12b-1 Distribution Plan is in effect, selection and nomination of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the fund shall be committed to the discretion of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the fund.

The 12b-1 Distribution Plan may be amended by vote of the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees of the fund that have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the 12b-1 Distribution Plan or any agreement relating thereto, cast in person at a meeting called for that purpose. Any amendment of the 12b-1 Distribution Plan that would materially increase the costs to a fund requires approval by the shareholders of that fund. Any amendment of the 12b-1 Distribution Plan that would materially increase the costs to a particular class of shares of a fund also requires approval by the shareholders of that class.

A 12b-1 Distribution Plan may be terminated as to a class of shares of a fund at any time by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees, or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable class.

Under the 12b-1 Distribution Plan for Class A shares, a fund may pay TCI and/or financial intermediaries annual distribution and service fees of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the fund’s Class A shares. For Class C shares, a fund may pay TCI and/or financial intermediaries annual distribution and service fees of up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the fund’s Class C shares. For Class R shares, a fund may pay TCI and/or financial intermediaries annual distribution and service fees of up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the fund’s Class R shares.

Because the Trust pays these fees out of its assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. Financial Intermediaries that receive distribution and/or service fees may in turn pay and/or reimburse all or a portion of these fees to their customers. The prospectus contains a description of distribution and service fees payable under the 12b-1 Distribution Plan with respect to the shares offered in that prospectus.

TCI may use the fees payable under the 12b-1 Distribution Plan as it deems appropriate to pay for activities or expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A, Class C or Class R shares, or in personal service to and/or maintenance of these shareholder accounts.

53

More specifically, these fees may be used by TCI or a financial intermediary for expenses related to a fund, including: costs of printing and distributing the fund prospectuses, statements of additional information and reports to prospective investors in the fund; costs involved in preparing, printing and distributing sales literature pertaining to the fund and reports for persons other than existing shareholders; an allocation of overhead and other branch office distribution-related expenses of TCI or a financial intermediary; payments made to, and expenses of, a TCI or a financial intermediary and other persons who provide support or personal services to shareholders in connection with the distribution of the fund’s shares; and interest-related expenses, or the cost of capital associated with, the financing of any of the foregoing. In the case of funds or classes of shares that are closed to new investors or investments, TCI also may use the fees payable under the 12b-1 Distribution Plan to make payments to brokers and other financial intermediaries for past sales and distribution efforts.

In the case of a fund or a class of shares that is closed to new investors or investments, the fees are paid for services to and for maintenance of existing shareholder accounts and compensation of broker-dealers or other intermediaries for past sales and distribution efforts.

In determining whether to approve the 12b-1 Distribution Plan and the Distribution Agreements, the Trustees considered the anticipated benefits to shareholders from adopting the 12b-1 Distribution Plans and Distribution Agreements. The Trustees were informed by representatives of TCI that payments of distribution-related expenses by the funds under the 12b-1 Distribution Plans would provide incentives to TCI to establish and maintain an enhanced distribution system whereby new investors will be attracted to the funds. The Trustees believe the 12b-1 Distribution Plan will enable each fund to promote sales of its shares and provide personal service and maintenance with respect to shareholder accounts as appropriate for the fund. In turn, these promotion efforts are expected to result in increased sales and lead to an increase in a fund’s net asset levels, which should enable the funds to achieve economies of scale and lower their per-share operating expenses. In addition, higher net asset levels could enhance the investment management of the funds, for net inflows of cash from new sales may enable a fund’s investment adviser and sub-adviser to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities. Finally, reduced redemptions could eliminate the potential need to liquidate attractive securities positions in order to raise the capital necessary to meet redemption requests.

The 12b-1 Distribution Plan requires that at least quarterly the Trust and the Distributor shall provide to the Board of Trustees and the Board of Trustees shall review a written report of the amounts expended (and the purposes therefor) under the 12b-1 Distribution Plan.

Distribution Fees Paid Under the 12b-1 Distribution Plan

The table below shows total distribution and service fees and expenses paid to the Distributor for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 with respect to Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares of the funds.

As of November 1, 2013, Class B shares were no longer available to new or existing investors except for exchanges and dividend and capital gains reinvestment.

“N/A” in the table below indicates that the fund was not in operation during the relevant fiscal year and, accordingly, no distribution fees are shown.

Dealer Reallowances

Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class T Shares Only (not applicable to Class I, Class I2 or Class R Shares)

Transamerica Funds sells shares of its funds both directly and through authorized dealers. When you buy shares, your fund receives the entire NAV of the shares you purchase. TCI keeps the sales charge, then “reallows” a portion to the dealers through which shares were purchased. This is how dealers are compensated. From time to time, and particularly in connection with sales that are not subject to a sales charge, TCI may enter into agreements with a broker or dealer whereby the dealer reallowance is less than the amounts indicated in the following tables.

Promotions may also involve non-cash incentives such as prizes or merchandise. Non-cash compensation may also be in the form of attendance at seminars conducted by TCI, including lodging and travel expenses, in accordance with the rules of the FINRA.

54

Reallowances may also be given to financial institutions to compensate them for their services in connection with Class A share sales and servicing of shareholder accounts.

(a)

No Dealer Reallowance is paid on purchases made on behalf of wrap accounts for the benefit of certain broker-dealers, financial institutions, or financial planners, who have entered into arrangements with Transamerica Funds or TCI, and for purchases made by a retirement plan described in Section 401(a), 401(k), 401(m), or 457 of the Code.

55

recordkeepers or financial service firm intermediaries have entered into agreements with Transamerica Funds or its agents. Investors who received Class I2 shares in connection with the reorganization of a Transamerica Premier Fund into a Transamerica Fund may continue to invest in Class I2 shares of that Transamerica Fund, but may not open new accounts.

Class R shares are intended for purchase by participants in certain retirement plans as described in the prospectus.

Transamerica Diversified Equity includes Class T shares, which are not available for new investors.

Shareholders whose investments are transferred from one class of shares of a Transamerica fund to another class of shares of the same Transamerica fund for administrative or eligibility reasons also may qualify for a waiver or reduction of sales charges and/or redemption charges in connection with the exchange.

Each fund reserves the right to make additional exceptions or otherwise to modify the foregoing policies at any time.

Information on sales charge reductions and/or waivers can also be found on the Transamerica Funds’ website at www.transamericafunds.com.

Class R Shares

As stated in the prospectus, Class R shares are currently offered for investment only by the following funds: Transamerica Asset Allocation – Conservative Portfolio, Transamerica Asset Allocation – Growth Portfolio, Transamerica Asset Allocation – Moderate Growth Portfolio and Transamerica Asset Allocation – Moderate Portfolio, each a series of Transamerica Funds.

Class R shares are only offered through 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase plans, defined benefit plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans (eligible retirement plans).

Class R shares are available only to eligible retirement plans where Class R shares are held on the books of the funds through omnibus or Network Level 3 accounts (either at the plan level or at the level of the financial service firm serving as an intermediary).

Retirement Plans

Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I and Class T Only (Not Applicable to Class I2 and Class R Shares)

Transamerica Funds offers several types of retirement plans that an investor may establish to invest in shares of a fund with tax deductible dollars. Prototype retirement plan documents for Individual Retirement Accounts, Code Section 403(b)(7) plans and SEP-IRA and SIMPLE IRA plans are available by calling or writing TFS Customer Service. These plans require the completion of separate applications, which are also available from TFS Customer Service. State Street Bank and Trust Company, Kansas City, MO (“State Street”), acts as the custodian or trustee under these plans for which it charges an annual fee of $15.00 on each such fund account with a maximum of $30.00 per tax identification number. However, if your combined retirement plan and ESA account(s)’ balance per taxpayer identification number is more than $50,000, there is no fee. To receive additional information or forms on these plans, please call your financial adviser or Transamerica Funds Customer Service at 1-888-233-4339 or write to Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. at P.O. Box 219945, Kansas City, MO 64121-9945. No contribution to a retirement plan can be made until the appropriate forms to establish the plan have been completed. It is advisable for an investor considering the funding of any retirement plan to consult with an attorney, retirement plan consultant or financial or tax adviser with respect to the requirements of such plans and the tax aspects thereof. Please note: each plan type may not be available in each share class.

Redemption of Shares

Shareholders may redeem their shares at any time at a price equal to the net asset value per share next determined following receipt of a valid redemption order by the transfer agent, in proper form. Payment will ordinarily be made within three business days of the receipt of a valid redemption order. The value of shares on redemption may be more or less than the shareholder’s cost, depending upon the market value of the fund’s net assets at the time of redemption. Class B shares and Class C shares and certain Class A and Class T share purchases are also subject to a contingent deferred sales charge upon certain redemptions. Class I and Class I2 shares are not subject to the contingent deferred sales charge.

Shares will normally be redeemed for cash, although each fund retains the right to redeem its shares in kind under unusual circumstances in order to protect the interests of the remaining shareholders by the delivery of securities selected from its assets at its discretion. Transamerica Funds has, however, elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act pursuant to which a fund is obligated to redeem shares solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net asset value of a fund during any 90-day period for any one shareholder. Should redemptions by any shareholder exceed such limitation, the fund will have the option of redeeming the excess in cash or in kind. If shares are redeemed in kind, the redeeming shareholder might incur brokerage costs in converting the assets to cash. The method of valuing securities used to make redemptions in kind will be the same as the method of valuing portfolio securities described under “Net Asset Value Determination,” and such valuation will be made as of the same time the redemption price is determined. Upon any distributions in kind, shareholders may appeal the valuation of such securities by writing to TFS.

56

Redemption of shares may be suspended, or the date of payment may be postponed, whenever: (1) trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by the SEC, or the NYSE is closed (except for holidays and weekends); (2) the SEC permits such suspension and so orders; or (3) an emergency exists as determined by the SEC so that disposal of securities and determination of net asset value is not reasonably practicable.

The Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) is waived on redemptions of Class B and Class C (and Class A and T, when applicable) in the circumstances described below.

(a) Redemption upon Total Disability or Death

A fund will waive the CDSC on redemptions following the death or total disability (as evidenced by a determination of the federal Social Security Administration) of a shareholder, but in the case of total disability only as to shares owned at the time of the initial determination of disability. The transfer agent or distributor will require satisfactory proof of death or disability before it determines to waive the CDSC.

(b) Redemption Pursuant to a Fund’s Systematic Withdrawal Plan

A shareholder may elect to participate in a systematic withdrawal plan (“SWP”) with respect to the shareholder’s investment in a fund. Under the SWP, a dollar amount of a participating shareholder’s investment in the fund will be redeemed systematically by the fund on a periodic basis, and the proceeds paid in accordance with the shareholder’s instructions. The amount to be redeemed and frequency of the systematic withdrawals will be specified by the shareholder upon his or her election to participate in the SWP. The CDSC will be waived on redemptions made under the SWP subject to the limitations described below.

On redemptions made under Transamerica Funds’ systematic withdrawal plan (may not exceed 12% of the account value per fund on the day the systematic withdrawal plan was established).

(c) Certain Retirement Plan Withdrawals

CDSC is also waived for accounts opened prior to April 1, 2000, on withdrawals from IRS qualified and nonqualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, tax-sheltered accounts, and deferred compensation plans, where such withdrawals are permitted under the terms of the plan or account. (This waiver does not apply to transfer of asset redemptions, broker directed accounts or omnibus accounts.)

Share Conversion

If you hold Class A, C, I2 or T shares and are eligible for purchase of Class I shares (as described in the prospectus), you may be eligible to convert your Class A, C, I2 or T shares to Class I shares of the same fund, subject to the discretion of TFS to permit or reject such a conversion. Please contact your financial adviser or Customer Service for conversion instructions.

A conversion between share classes of the same fund is a nontaxable event.

If you convert from one class of shares to another, the transaction will be based on the respective NAVs of the two classes on the trade date for the conversion. Consequently, a conversion may provide you with fewer shares or more shares than you originally owned, depending on that day’s NAV. At the time of conversion, the total dollar value of your “old” shares will equal the total dollar value of your “new” shares. However, subsequent share price fluctuations may decrease or increase the total dollar value of your “new” shares compared with that of your “old” shares.

Net Asset Valuation (“NAV”) Determination

How Share Price Is Determined

The price at which shares are purchased or redeemed is the NAV, plus any applicable sales charge, that is next calculated following receipt and acceptance of a purchase order in good order or receipt of a redemption order in good order by the fund, an authorized intermediary, or the mail processing center located in Kansas City, Missouri.

When Share Price Is Determined

The NAV of all funds (or class thereof) is determined on each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for business. The NAV is not determined on days when the NYSE is closed (generally New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas). Foreign securities may trade in their primary markets on weekends or other days when a fund does not price its shares (therefore, the value of a fund’s foreign securities may change on days when shareholders will not be able to buy or sell shares of the funds).

Purchase orders received in good order and accepted, and redemption orders received in good order, before the close of business of the NYSE, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, receive the NAV determined as of the close of the NYSE that day (plus any applicable sales charges). Purchase and redemption requests received after the NYSE is closed receive the NAV determined as of the close of the NYSE the next day the NYSE is open.

57

Purchase orders for shares of the Asset Allocation Funds that are received in good order and accepted before the close of business on the NYSE receive the NAV determined as of the close of the NYSE that day. For direct purchases, corresponding orders for shares of the underlying constituent funds are priced on the same day that orders for shares of the Asset Allocation Funds are received and accepted. For purchases of shares of the Asset Allocation Funds through the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”), orders for shares of the underlying constituent funds will be placed after the receipt and acceptance of the settled purchase order for shares of the Asset Allocation Funds. For investments in separate accounts of insurance companies that invest in Class I2 shares of the funds, orders for Class I2 shares will be placed after the receipt and acceptance of the investment in the insurance company separate account.

How NAV Is Calculated

The NAV of each fund (or class thereof) is calculated by taking the value of its net assets and dividing by the number of shares of the fund (or class) that are then outstanding.

The Board of Trustees has approved procedures to be used to value the funds’ securities for the purpose of determining the funds’ NAV. The valuation of the securities of the funds is determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board. The Board has delegated certain valuation functions for the funds to TAM.

In general, securities and other investments (including shares of ETFs) are valued based on market prices at the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Fund securities (including shares of ETFs) listed or traded on domestic securities exchanges or the NASDAQ/NMS, including dollar-denominated foreign securities or ADRs, are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ/NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sale price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, then the value should be determined with reference to the last sale price, or the NOCP, if applicable, on any other exchange or system. If there have been no sales for that day on any exchange or system, a security is valued at the closing bid quotes on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, or at the NOCP, if applicable. Foreign securities traded on U.S. exchanges are generally priced using last sale price regardless of trading activity. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the last bid price. The market price for debt obligations is generally the price supplied by an independent third party pricing service, which may use market prices or quotations or a variety of fair value techniques and methodologies. Short-term debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, unless it is determined that using this method would not reflect an investment’s fair value. The prices that the fund uses may differ from the amounts that would be realized if the investments were sold and the differences could be significant, particularly for securities that trade in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience extreme volatility. Foreign securities generally are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, and are converted from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Market quotations for securities prices may be obtained from automated pricing services. Shares of open-end funds (other than ETF shares) are generally valued at the NAV reported by that investment company. ETF shares are valued at the most recent sale price or official closing price on the exchange on which they are traded.

When a market quotation for a security is not readily available (which may include closing prices deemed to be unreliable because of the occurrence of a subsequent event), a valuation committee appointed by the Board of Trustees may, in good faith, establish a value for the security in accordance with fair valuation procedures adopted by the Board. The types of securities for which such fair value pricing may be required include, but are not limited to: foreign securities, where a significant event occurs after the close of the foreign market on which such security principally trades that is likely to have changed the value of such security, or the closing value is otherwise deemed unreliable; securities of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; securities whose trading has been halted or suspended; fixed-income securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market value quotation; and securities that are restricted as to transfer or resale. The funds use a fair value model developed by an independent third party pricing service to price foreign equity securities on days when there is a certain percentage change in the value of a domestic equity security index, as such percentage may be determined by TAM from time to time.

Valuing securities in accordance with fair value procedures involves greater reliance on judgment than valuing securities based on readily available market quotations. The valuation committee makes fair value determinations in good faith in accordance with the funds’ valuation procedures. Fair value determinations can also involve reliance on quantitative models employed by a fair value pricing service. There can be no assurance that a fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the fund determines its NAV.

Brokerage

Subject to policies established by the Board of Trustees and TAM, the sub-advisers are responsible for placement of the funds’ securities transactions. In placing orders, it is the policy of a fund to seek to obtain the most favorable price and execution available, except to the extent it may be permitted to pay higher brokerage commissions as described below. In seeking the most favorable price and execution, TAM or the sub-adviser, as applicable, having in mind the fund’s best interests, considers all factors it deems relevant, including: the size of the transaction; the nature of the market for the security; the amount of the commission; the timing of the transaction taking into account market

58

prices and trends; the reputation, experience and financial stability of the broker-dealer involved and the quality of service rendered by the broker-dealer in that or other transactions; trade confidentiality including anonymity; and research products and services provided, which include: (i) furnishing advice, either directly or through publications or writings, as to the value of securities, the advisability of purchasing or selling specific securities and the availability of securities or purchasers or sellers of securities and (ii) furnishing analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors and trends and portfolio strategy and products and other services (such as third party publications, reports and analyses, and computer and electronic access, equipment, software, information and accessories) that assist each sub-adviser in carrying out its responsibilities

Decisions as to the selection of broker-dealers and the assignment of fund brokerage business for a fund and negotiation of its commission rates are made by TAM or the sub-adviser, as applicable, whose policy is to seek to obtain “best execution” (prompt and reliable execution at the most favorable security price) of all fund transactions. In doing so, a fund may pay higher commission rates than the lowest available when its sub-adviser believes it is reasonable to do so in light of the value of the brokerage and research services provided by the broker effecting the transaction, as discussed below.

There is generally no stated commission in the case of fixed-income securities and other securities traded on a principal basis in the over-the-counter markets, but the price paid by a fund usually includes an undisclosed dealer commission or mark-up. In underwritten offerings, the price paid by a fund includes a disclosed, fixed commission or discount retained by the underwriter or dealer. Transactions on U.S. stock exchanges and other agency transactions involve the payment by a fund of negotiated brokerage commissions. Such commissions vary among different brokers. Also, a particular broker may charge different commissions according to such factors as the difficulty and size of the transaction. Transactions in foreign securities generally involve the payment of fixed brokerage commissions, which are generally higher than those in the United States.

It has for many years been a common practice in the investment advisory business for advisers of investment companies and other institutional investors to receive research and brokerage products and services (together, “services”) from broker-dealers that execute portfolio transactions for the clients of such advisers. Consistent with this practice, the sub-advisers may receive services from many broker-dealers with which the sub-advisers place the fund’s portfolio transactions. These services, which in some cases may also be purchased for cash, may include, among other things, such items as general economic and security market reviews, industry and company reviews, evaluations of securities, recommendations as to the purchase and sale of securities, and services related to the execution of securities transactions. The services obtained through brokers or dealers will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the services required to be performed by a sub-adviser. The expenses of a sub-adviser will not necessarily be reduced as a result of the receipt of such supplemental information. A sub-adviser may use such services in servicing other accounts in addition to the respective fund. Conversely, services provided to a sub-advisers by broker-dealers in connection with trades executed on behalf of other clients of the sub-adviser may be useful to the sub-adviser in managing the fund, although not all of these services may be necessarily useful and of value to the sub-adviser in managing such other clients. The receipt of such services enables a sub-adviser to avoid the additional expenses that might otherwise be incurred if it were to attempt to develop comparable information through its own staff.

In reliance on the “safe harbor” provided by Section 28(e) of the 1934 Act and the SEC’s interpretive guidance thereunder, a sub-adviser may cause a fund to pay a broker-dealer that provides “brokerage and research services” (as defined for purposes of Section 28(e)) to the Sub-Adviser an amount of commission for effecting a securities transaction for the fund in excess of the commission that another broker-dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the sub-adviser determines in good faith that the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by the broker-dealer. If a sub-adviser determines that any research product or service has a mixed use, such that it also serves functions that do not assist in the investment decision-making process, the sub-adviser will allocate the costs of such service or product accordingly. The portion of the product or service that a sub-adviser determines will assist it in the investment decision-making process may be paid for in brokerage commission dollars. Such allocation may create a conflict of interest for the sub-adviser. Conversely, such supplemental information obtained by the placement of business for a sub-adviser will be considered by and may be useful to the sub-adviser in carrying out its obligations to a fund.

A sub-adviser may place transactions for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities with affiliates of TAM or the sub-adviser. A sub-adviser may place transactions with a broker-dealer that is an affiliate of TAM or the sub-adviser where, in the judgment of the sub-adviser, such firm will be able to obtain a price and execution at least as favorable as other qualified broker-dealers. Pursuant to rules of the SEC, a broker-dealer that is an affiliate of TAM or the sub-adviser may receive and retain compensation for effecting portfolio transactions for the fund on a securities exchange if the commissions paid to such an affiliated broker-dealer by the fund do not exceed “usual and customary brokerage commissions.” The rules define “usual and customary” commissions to include amounts that are “reasonable and fair compared to the commission, fee or other remuneration received by other brokers in connection with comparable transactions involving similar securities being purchased or sold on a securities exchange during a comparable period of time.”

Securities held by a fund may also be held by other separate accounts, mutual funds or other accounts for which TAM or a sub-adviser serves as an adviser, or held by TAM or a sub-adviser for their own accounts. Because of different investment objectives or other factors, a particular security may be bought by TAM or a sub-adviser for one or more clients when one or more clients are selling the same security. If purchases or sales of securities for a fund or other entities for which they act as investment adviser or for their advisory clients arise for consideration at

59

or about the same time, transactions in such securities will be made, insofar as feasible, for the respective entities and clients in a manner deemed equitable to all. To the extent that transactions on behalf of more than one client of TAM or a sub-adviser during the same period may increase the demand for securities being purchased or the supply of securities being sold, there may be an adverse effect on price.

On occasions when TAM or a sub-adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of a fund as well as other accounts or companies, it may to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, but will not be obligated to, aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased for the fund with those to be sold or purchased for such other accounts or companies in order to obtain favorable execution and lower brokerage commissions. In that event, allocation of the securities purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by TAM or the sub-adviser in the manner it considers to be most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the fund and to such other accounts or companies. In some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position obtainable for a fund.

The Board of Trustees of the Trust reviews on a quarterly basis the brokerage placement practices of each sub-adviser on behalf of the funds, and reviews the prices and commissions, if any, paid by the funds to determine if they were reasonable.

Brokerage Commissions Paid

The following funds paid the aggregate brokerage commissions indicated for the last three fiscal years:

“N/A” in the table below indicates that the fund was not in operation during the relevant fiscal year and, accordingly, no commissions are shown.

Transamerica Mid Cap Value Opportunities	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A

Affiliated Brokers

There were no brokerage commissions incurred on security transactions placed with affiliates of the adviser or sub-advisers for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013.

Directed Brokerage

A sub-adviser to a fund, to the extent consistent with the best execution and with TAM’s usual commission rate policies and practices, may place portfolio transactions with broker/dealers with which the Trust has established a Directed Brokerage Program. A Directed Brokerage Program is any arrangement under which a broker/dealer applies a portion of the commissions received by such broker/dealer on the portfolio transactions to the payment of operating expenses that would otherwise be borne by the fund.

Under the Directed Brokerage Program, the commissions paid by a fund shall be applied to the payment only of expenses that would otherwise be borne by the fund paying the commission. In no event will commissions paid by a fund be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other fund in the Trust, or by any other party. In the case of any fund that is the subject of a contractual expense reduction arrangement with TAM (or a comparable agreement with any “affiliate” of TAM or the Trust, as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) pursuant to which TAM (or its affiliates) has agreed to waive amounts otherwise payable by the fund to TAM (or affiliate) under the expense reduction arrangement, but shall instead be used solely to reduce expenses borne by the fund to a lower level than the fund would have borne after giving full effect to the expense reduction arrangement. These commissions are not used for promoting or selling fund shares or otherwise related to the distribution of fund shares.

The following brokerage commissions were directed to brokers for brokerage and research services provided during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013.

Fund Name	Paid as of October 31, 2013
Transamerica Mid Cap Value Opportunities	N/A

The amounts shown above for brokerage commissions directed to brokers for brokerage and research services are based upon custody data provided to CAPIS and were calculated using the following methodology: Total Commissions minus transactions executed at discounted rates and/or directed to the funds’ commission recapture program equals total research commissions. USD transactions executed at $.02 and below and non-USD transactions executed at 8 basis points and below are considered to be executed at discounted rates. For example, Commission paid on USD transactions at rates greater than $.02 per share and not directed for commission recapture are assumed to be paid to brokers that provide research and brokerage services within the scope of Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act. Commissions paid on fixed price offerings and transactions in futures and options are not included in this analysis.

Further Information About the Trust and Fund Shares

Transamerica Funds is governed by an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust (“Declaration of Trust”) dated November 1, 2007.

The Declaration of Trust permits Transamerica Funds to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Shares of Transamerica Funds are fully paid and nonassessable when issued. Shares of Transamerica Funds have no preemptive, cumulative voting, conversion or subscription rights. Shares of Transamerica Funds are fully transferable but Transamerica Funds is not bound to recognize any transfer until it is recorded on the books.

The shares of beneficial interest are divided into seven classes: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class I2, Class R and Class T. Not all Transamerica Funds offer all classes of shares. Each class represents interests in the same assets of the fund and differ as follows: each class of shares has exclusive voting rights on matters pertaining to its plan of distribution or any other matter appropriately limited to that class; the classes are subject to differing sales charges as described in the prospectus; Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares are subject to ongoing distribution and service fees and Class I, Class I2 and Class T shares have no annual distribution and service fees; each class may bear differing amounts of certain class-specific expenses; and each class has a separate exchange privilege.

As of November 1, 2013, Class B shares were no longer available to new or existing investors except for exchanges and dividend and capital gains reinvestment.

Class T shares are not available to new investors; only existing Class T shareholders may purchase additional Class T shares.

All shares designated as Class C shares prior to March 1, 2004 were renamed as Class C2 shares on that date. All shares designated as Class L shares prior to March 1, 2004 were renamed as Class C shares with different fees and expenses than the previous Class L shares. All shares previously designated as Class C2 shares on March 1, 2004 were converted to Class C shares on June 15, 2004. On September 24, 2004, Class M shares were converted into Class C shares. On November 30, 2009, all shares previously designated as Class I shares were redesignated as Class I2 shares. On February 10, 2012, all shares previously designated as Class P shares were converted into Class I shares.

Transamerica Funds does not anticipate that there will be any conflicts between the interests of holders of the different classes of shares of the same fund by virtue of these classes. On an ongoing basis, the Board of Trustees will consider whether any such conflict exists and, if so, take appropriate action. On any matter submitted to a vote of shareholders of a series or class, each full issued and outstanding share of that series or class has one vote.

The Declaration of Trust provides that each of the Trustees will continue in office until the termination of Transamerica Funds or until the next meeting of shareholders called for the purpose of considering the election or re-election of such Trustee or of a successor to such

61

Trustee, and until his successor, if any, is elected, qualified and serving as a Trustee hereunder. Vacancies may be filled by a majority of the remaining trustees, subject to certain limitations imposed by the 1940 Act. Subject to the foregoing, shareholders have the power to vote for the election and removal of trustees, and on any other matters on which a shareholder vote is required by the 1940 Act or at the request of the Trustees.

Dividends and Other Distributions

An investor may choose among several options with respect to dividends and capital gains distributions payable to the investor. Dividends or other distributions will be paid in full and fractional shares at the net asset value determined as of the ex-dividend date unless the shareholder has elected another distribution option as described in the prospectus. The quarterly ex-dividend date for Transamerica Asset Allocation – Conservative Portfolio will be subsequent to the ex-dividend date of the underlying Transamerica funds in which it invests. The December annual ex-dividend date for all other Asset Allocation funds will be subsequent to the ex-dividend date of the underlying Transamerica funds in which they invest. Transaction confirmations and checks for payments designated to be made in cash generally will be mailed on the payable date. The per share income dividends on Class B, Class C and Class R shares of a fund are anticipated to be lower than the per share income dividends on Class A, Class I, Class I2 and Class T shares of that fund as a result of higher distribution and service fees applicable to Class B, Class C, and Class R shares.

Taxes

Each fund has qualified (or expects to qualify in its first year), and expects to continue to qualify, for treatment as a regulated investment company (a “RIC”) under the Code. In order to qualify for that treatment, a fund must distribute to its shareholders for each taxable year at least the sum of 90% of its investment company taxable income, computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction, and 90% of its net exempt-interest income, if any (the “Distribution Requirement”). Each fund must also meet several other requirements. These requirements include the following: (1) a fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income each taxable year from dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, or other income (including gains from options, futures and forward contracts) derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies, and net income derived from interests in qualified publicly traded partnerships; (2) at the close of each quarter of a fund’s taxable year, at least 50% of the value of its total assets must be represented by cash and cash items, U.S. government securities, securities of other RICs and other securities (limited in respect of any one issuer of such other securities to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of the fund’s total assets and to not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer); and (3) at the close of each quarter of a fund’s taxable year, not more than 25% of the value of its total assets may be invested in securities (other than U.S. government securities or the securities of other RICs) of any one issuer, in securities (other than securities of other RICs) of two or more issuers that the fund controls and that are engaged in the same, similar or related trades or businesses, or in securities of one or more qualified publicly traded partnerships.

If a fund qualifies as a RIC and timely distributes to its shareholders substantially all of its net income and net capital gains, then the fund should have little or no income taxable to it under the Code. If a fund meets the Distribution Requirement but retains some portion of its taxable income or gains, it generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates on the amounts retained. A fund may designate certain amounts retained as undistributed net capital gain in a notice to its shareholders, who (i) will be required to include in income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as long-term capital gain, their proportionate shares of the undistributed amount so designated, (ii) will be entitled to credit their proportionate shares of the income tax paid by the fund on that undistributed amount against their federal income tax liabilities and to claim refunds to the extent such credits exceed those liabilities and (iii) will be entitled to increase their tax basis, for federal income tax purposes, in their shares by an amount equal to the excess of the amount of undistributed net capital gain included in their respective income over their respective income tax credits.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a fund is generally permitted to carry forward a net capital loss from any taxable year that began on or before December 22, 2010 to offset its capital gains, if any, for up to eight years following the year of the loss. A fund is permitted to carry forward indefinitely a net capital loss from any taxable year that began after December 22, 2010 to offset its capital gains, if any, in years following the year of the loss. To the extent subsequent capital gains are offset by such losses, they will not result in U.S. federal income tax liability to the fund and may not be distributed as such to shareholders. Generally, the funds may not carry forward any losses other than net capital losses. Capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years that began after December 22, 2010 must be fully used before capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years that began on or before December 22, 2010. It is possible that capital loss carryforwards from taxable years that began on or before December 22, 2010 may expire unused. Under certain circumstances, a fund may elect to treat certain losses as though they were incurred on the first day of the taxable year immediately following the taxable year in which they were actually incurred.

Assuming a fund has sufficient earnings and profits, its shareholders generally are required to include distributions from the fund (whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares) as (1) ordinary income, to the extent the distributions are attributable to the fund’s investment income (except for qualified dividend income as discussed below), net short-term capital gain and certain net realized foreign exchange gains, (2) “exempt-interest dividends”, as discussed below, or (3) capital gains, to the extent of the fund’s net capital gain (i.e., the fund’s net

62

long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses). Transamerica Enhanced Muni and Transamerica High Yield Muni expect to distribute exempt-interest dividends, which are generally exempt from regular federal income tax but may be subject to state and local taxes and may be a tax preference item for purposes of the AMT. The other funds do not expect to be able to distribute exempt-interest dividends.

If a fund fails to qualify for treatment as a RIC, the fund will be subject to U.S. federal, and possibly state, corporate taxes on its taxable income and gains, and distributions to its shareholders (including distributions that would otherwise qualify as capital gain dividends or as exempt-interest dividends) will constitute ordinary dividend income to the extent of the fund’s available earnings and profits. Under certain circumstances, a fund may be able to cure a failure to qualify as a regulated investment company, but in order to do so, the fund may incur significant fund-level taxes and may be forced to dispose of certain assets.

Distributions by a fund in excess of its current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of (and in reduction of) each shareholder’s tax basis in its shares, and any distributions in excess of that basis will be treated as gain from the sale of shares, as discussed below.

A fund will be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax to the extent it fails to distribute by the end of any calendar year substantially all of its ordinary income (for that calendar year) and capital gain net income (for the one-year period generally ending on October 31 of that year), increased or decreased by certain other amounts. Each fund intends to distribute annually a sufficient amount of any taxable income and capital gains so as to avoid liability for this excise tax.

Although dividends generally will be treated as distributed when paid, any dividend declared by a fund in October, November or December, payable to shareholders of record during such a month, and paid during the following January will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as received by shareholders on December 31 of the calendar year in which it was declared. In addition, certain other distributions made after the close of a taxable year of a fund may be “spilled back” and treated for certain purposes as paid by the relevant fund during such taxable year. In such case, shareholders generally will be treated as having received such dividends in the taxable year in which the distributions were actually made. For purposes of calculating the amount of a RIC’s undistributed income and gain subject to the 4% excise tax described above, such “spilled back” dividends are treated as paid by the RIC when they are actually paid.

U.S. federal income tax law generally taxes noncorporate taxpayers on long-term capital gains and on “qualified dividend income” at rates of up to 20%.

Except for “exempt-interest dividends,” as described below, other distributions, including distributions of earnings from, in general, dividends paid to a fund that are not themselves qualified dividend income to the fund, interest income, other types of ordinary income and short-term capital gains, will be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate applicable to the taxpayer.

Qualified dividend income generally means dividend income received from a fund’s investments in common and preferred stock of U.S. companies and stock of certain “qualified foreign corporations,” provided that certain holding period and other requirements are met by both the fund and the shareholder receiving a distribution of the dividend income. If 95% or more of a fund’s gross income (calculated without taking into account net capital gain derived from sales or other dispositions of stock or securities) consists of qualified dividend income, that fund may report all distributions of such income as qualified dividend income.

A foreign corporation is treated as a qualified foreign corporation for this purpose if it is incorporated in a possession of the United States or it is eligible for the benefits of certain income tax treaties with the United States and meets certain additional requirements. Certain foreign corporations that are not otherwise qualified foreign corporations will be treated as qualified foreign corporations with respect to dividends paid by them if the stock with respect to which the dividends are paid is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Passive foreign investment companies are not qualified foreign corporations for this purpose.

A dividend that is attributable to qualified dividend income of a fund and that is paid by the fund to a shareholder will not be taxable as qualified dividend income to such shareholder (1) if the dividend is received with respect to any share of the fund held for fewer than 61 days during the 121-day period beginning on the date which is 60 days before the date on which such share became “ex-dividend” with respect to such dividend, (2) to the extent that the shareholder is under an obligation (whether pursuant to a short sale or otherwise) to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property, or (3) if the shareholder elects to have the dividend treated as investment income for purposes of the limitation on deductibility of investment interest. The “ex-dividend” date is the date on which the owner of the share at the commencement of such date is entitled to receive the next issued dividend payment for such share even if the share is sold by the owner on that date or thereafter.

Certain dividends received by a fund from U.S. corporations (generally, dividends received by the fund in respect of any share of stock (1) with a tax holding period of at least 46 days during the 91-day period beginning on the date that is 45 days before the date on which the stock becomes ex-dividend as to that dividend and (2) that is held in an unleveraged position) and distributed and appropriately reported by the fund may be eligible for the 70% dividends-received deduction generally available to corporations under the Code. Certain preferred stock must have a holding period of at least 91 days during the 181-day period beginning on the date that is 90 days before the date on which the stock becomes ex-dividend as to that dividend in order to be eligible. Capital gain dividends distributed to a fund from other RICs are not eligible for the dividends-received deduction. In order to qualify for the deduction, corporate shareholders must meet the minimum holding period requirement stated above with respect to their fund shares, taking into account any holding period reductions from certain hedging or

63

other transactions or positions that diminish their risk of loss with respect to their fund shares, and, if they borrow to acquire or otherwise incur debt attributable to fund shares, they may be denied a portion of the dividends-received deduction with respect to those shares. The entire dividend, including the otherwise deductible amount, will be included in determining the excess, if any, of a corporation’s adjusted current earnings over its alternative minimum taxable income, which may increase a corporation’s AMT liability. Any corporate shareholder should consult its tax advisor regarding the possibility that its tax basis in its shares may be reduced, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, by reason of “extraordinary dividends” received with respect to the shares and, to the extent such basis would be reduced below zero, current recognition of income may be required.

Any fund distribution (other than a dividend that is declared on a daily basis) will have the effect of reducing the per share net asset value of shares in the fund by the amount of the distribution. Shareholders purchasing shares shortly before the record date of any dividend distribution that is not declared daily may thus pay the full price for the shares then effectively receive a portion of the purchase price back as a taxable distribution unless the distribution is an exempt-interest dividend.

The U.S. federal income tax status of all distributions will be reported to shareholders annually.

A 3.8% Medicare contribution tax generally applies to all or a portion of the net investment income of a shareholder who is an individual and not a nonresident alien for federal income tax purposes and who has adjusted gross income (subject to certain adjustments) that exceeds a threshold amount ($250,000 if married filing jointly or if considered a “surviving spouse” for federal income tax purposes, $125,000 if married filing separately, and $200,000 in other cases). This 3.8% tax also applies to all or a portion of the undistributed net investment income of certain shareholders that are estates or trusts. For these purposes, interest, dividends and certain capital gains are generally taken into account in computing a shareholder’s net investment income, but exempt-interest dividends are not taken into account for this purpose.

If a fund is the holder of record of any stock on the record date for any dividends payable with respect to such stock, such dividends will be included in the fund’s gross income not as of the date received, but as of the later of (a) the date such stock became ex-dividend with respect to such dividends or (b) the date the fund acquired such stock. Accordingly, in order to satisfy its income distribution requirements, a fund may be required to pay dividends based on anticipated earnings, and shareholders may receive dividends in an earlier year than would otherwise be the case.

The Code permits tax-exempt interest received by a fund to flow through as tax-exempt “exempt-interest dividends” to the fund’s shareholders if the fund qualifies as a regulated investment company and at least 50% of the value of its total assets at the close of each quarter of its taxable year consists of tax-exempt obligations, i.e., obligations that pay interest excluded from gross income under Section 103(a) of the Code. That part of Transamerica Enhanced Muni’s and Transamerica High Yield Muni’s net investment income which is attributable to interest from tax-exempt obligations and which is distributed to shareholders will be reported by Transamerica Enhanced Muni and Transamerica High Yield Muni as an exempt-interest dividend under the Code. Exempt-interest dividends are excluded from a shareholder’s gross income under the Code but are nevertheless required to be reported on the shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax return. The percentage of income reported as exempt-interest dividends for a month may differ from the percentage of distributions consisting of tax-exempt interest during that month.

Exempt-interest dividends derived from interest on certain “private activity bonds” will be items of tax preference, which increase alternative minimum taxable income for individuals or entities that are subject to the AMT. Transamerica Enhanced Muni and Transamerica High Yield Muni do not intend to invest in “private activity bonds” that generate interest constituting an item of tax preference for individuals or entities that are subject to the AMT. All exempt-interest dividends may result in or increase a corporate shareholder’s liability for the AMT. Bonds issued in 2009 or 2010 generally will not be treated as private activity bonds, and interest earned on such bonds generally will not be treated as a tax preference item and generally will not result in or increase a corporate shareholder’s liability for the AMT.

Interest on indebtedness incurred or continued by a shareholder to purchase or carry shares of a fund distributing exempt-interest dividends will not be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent the indebtedness is deemed under the Code and applicable regulations to relate to exempt-interest dividends received from the fund. A fund distributing exempt-interest dividends may not be an appropriate investment for persons who are “substantial users” of facilities financed by industrial revenue or private activity bonds or persons related to substantial users. Shareholders receiving social security or certain railroad retirement benefits may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a portion of such benefits as a result of receiving exempt-interest dividends paid by a fund.

Transamerica Enhanced Muni and Transamerica High Yield Muni may each from time to time invest a portion of its portfolio in taxable obligations and may engage in transactions generating gain or income that is not tax-exempt, e.g., it may purchase, hold and sell non-municipal securities, sell or lend portfolio securities, enter into repurchase agreements, dispose of rights to when-issued securities prior to issuance, acquire debt obligations at a market discount, acquire certain stripped tax-exempt obligations or their coupons or enter into options and future transactions. Transamerica Enhanced Muni’s and Transamerica High Yield Muni’s distributions of such gain or income will not constitute exempt-interest dividends and accordingly will be taxable under the generally applicable rules described above.

Redemptions, sales and exchanges generally are taxable events for shareholders that are subject to tax. Redemptions, sales or exchanges of shares of Transamerica Money Market will not result in taxable gain or loss if that fund maintains a constant net asset value per share. In general, if shares of a fund other than Transamerica Money Market are redeemed, sold or exchanged, the shareholder will recognize a capital

64

gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds of the redemption or sale or the value of the shares exchanged and the shareholder’s adjusted basis in the shares redeemed, sold or exchanged. This capital gain or loss may be long-term or short-term, generally depending upon the shareholder's holding period for the shares. For tax purposes, a loss will be disallowed on the redemption, sale or exchange of shares if the disposed of shares are replaced (including replacement by shares acquired pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan) within a 61-day period beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the date of the redemption, sale or exchange of such shares. Should the replacement of such shares fall within this 61-day period, the basis of the acquired shares will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss. Any loss realized by the shareholder on its disposition of fund shares held by the shareholder for six months or less may be disallowed to the extent of any exempt-interest dividends paid with respect to such shares, and any portion of such loss that exceeds the amount disallowed will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any amounts treated as distributions to the shareholder of long-term capital gain with respect to such shares (including any amounts credited to the shareholder as undistributed capital gains).

Under Treasury regulations, if a shareholder recognizes a loss with respect to fund shares of $2 million or more for an individual shareholder, or $10 million or more for a corporate shareholder, in any single taxable year (or certain greater amounts over a combination of years), the shareholder must file with the IRS a disclosure statement on Form 8886. Shareholders who own portfolio securities directly are in many cases excepted from this reporting requirement but, under current guidance, shareholders of RICs are not excepted. A shareholder who fails to make the required disclosure to the IRS may be subject to substantial penalties. The fact that a loss is reportable under these regulations does not affect the legal determination of whether or not the taxpayer’s treatment of the loss is proper. Shareholders should consult with their tax advisors to determine the applicability of these regulations in light of their individual circumstances.

An Asset Allocation fund will not be able to offset gains distributed by any underlying fund in which it invests against losses incurred by another underlying fund in which it invests because the underlying funds cannot distribute losses. An Asset Allocation fund’s redemptions of shares in an underlying fund, including those resulting from changes in the allocation among underlying funds, could cause the Asset Allocation fund to recognize taxable gain or loss. A portion of any such gains may be short-term capital gains that would be distributable as ordinary income to shareholders of the Asset Allocation fund. Further, a portion of losses on redemptions of shares in the underlying funds may be deferred. Short-term capital gains earned by an underlying fund will be treated as ordinary dividends when distributed to an Asset Allocation fund and therefore may not be offset by any short-term capital losses incurred by that Asset Allocation fund. Thus, an Asset Allocation fund’s short-term capital losses may offset its long-term capital gains, which might otherwise be eligible for reduced U.S. federal income tax rates for noncorporate shareholders, as discussed above. As a result of these factors, the use of the fund-of-funds structure by the Asset Allocation funds could adversely affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to their shareholders.

The funds may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries, including taxes on interest, dividends and capital gains with respect to their investments in those countries. Any such taxes would, if imposed, reduce the yield on or return from those investments. Tax conventions between certain countries and the U.S. may reduce or eliminate such taxes in some cases. If more than 50% of a fund’s total assets at the close of any taxable year consist of stock or securities of foreign corporations, the fund may elect to pass through to its shareholders their pro rata shares of qualified foreign taxes paid by the fund for that taxable year. If at least 50% of a fund’s total assets at the close of each quarter of a taxable year consist of interests in other RICs, the fund may make the same election and pass through to its shareholders their pro rata shares of qualified foreign taxes paid by those other RICs and passed through to the fund for that taxable year. If the fund so elects, its shareholders would be required to include the passed-through taxes in their gross incomes (in addition to the dividends and distributions they actually receive), would treat such taxes as foreign taxes paid by them, and as described below may be entitled to a tax deduction for such taxes or a tax credit, subject to a holding period requirement and other limitations under the Code.

Qualified foreign taxes generally include taxes that would be treated as income taxes under U.S. tax regulations but do not include most other taxes, such as stamp taxes, securities transaction taxes, and similar taxes. If a fund qualifies to make, and makes, the election described above, shareholders may deduct their pro rata portion of qualified foreign taxes paid by the fund or those other RICs for that taxable year in computing their income subject to U.S. federal income taxation or, alternatively, claim them as credits, subject to applicable limitations under the Code, against their U.S. federal income taxes. Shareholders who do not itemize deductions for U.S. federal income tax purposes will not, however, be able to deduct their pro rata portion of qualified foreign taxes paid by the fund or those other RICs, although such shareholders will be required to include their shares of such taxes in gross income if the fund makes the election described above. No deduction for such taxes will be permitted to individuals in computing their AMT liability.

If a fund makes this election and a shareholder chooses to take a credit for the foreign taxes deemed paid by such shareholder, the amount of the credit that may be claimed in any year may not exceed the same proportion of the U.S. tax against which such credit is taken that the shareholder’s taxable income from foreign sources (but not in excess of the shareholder’s entire taxable income) bears to his entire taxable income. For this purpose, long-term and short-term capital gains the fund realizes and distributes to shareholders will generally not be treated as income from foreign sources in their hands, nor will distributions of certain foreign currency gains subject to Section 988 of the Code or of any other income realized by the fund that is deemed, under the Code, to be U.S.-source income in the hands of the fund. This foreign tax credit limitation may also be applied separately to certain specific categories of foreign-source income and the related foreign taxes. As a result of these rules, which may have different effects depending upon each shareholder’s particular tax situation, certain shareholders may not be able to claim a credit for the full amount of their proportionate share of the foreign taxes paid by a fund or other RICs in which the fund invests. Shareholders who are not liable for U.S. federal income taxes, including tax-exempt shareholders, will ordinarily not benefit

65

from this election. If a fund does make the election, it will provide required tax information to shareholders. The funds generally may deduct any foreign taxes that are not passed through to their shareholders in computing their income available for distribution to shareholders to satisfy applicable tax distribution requirements.

Master Limited Partnerships: A fund may invest no more than 25% of its total assets in the securities of MLPs and other entities treated as qualified publicly traded partnerships for federal income tax purposes. An MLP is an entity treated as a partnership under the Code, the partnership interests of which are traded on securities exchanges like shares of corporate stock. An entity that is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes generally is not itself subject to federal income tax. Instead, each partner in the partnership is generally required to take into account its distributive share of items of the partnership’s income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit for each taxable year substantially as though such items had been realized directly by the partner and without regard to whether the partnership distributes any amount to its partners. To qualify for that treatment, an MLP must receive at least 90% of its income from qualifying sources such as interest, dividends, income and gain from mineral or natural resources activities, income and gain from the transportation or storage of certain fuels, and, in certain circumstances, income and gain from commodities or futures, forwards and options with respect to commodities. For this purpose, mineral or natural resources activities include exploration, development, production, mining, refining, marketing and transportation (including pipelines) of oil and gas, minerals, geothermal energy, fertilizer, timber or industrial source carbon dioxide. If it does not so qualify, it will generally be subject to tax as a corporation, and there could be a material decrease in the value of its securities.

Depreciation or other cost recovery deductions passed through to a fund from any investments in MLPs in a given year will generally reduce that fund’s taxable income, but those deductions may be recaptured in that fund’s income in one or more subsequent years. When recognized and distributed, recapture income will generally be taxable to fund shareholders at the time of the distribution at ordinary income tax rates, even though those shareholders might not have held shares in the fund recognizing recapture income at the time the deductions were taken by that fund, and even though those shareholders may not have corresponding economic gain on their shares at the time of the recapture. In order to distribute recapture income or to fund redemption requests, a fund may need to liquidate investments, which may lead to additional recapture income.

Passive Foreign Investment Companies: Certain funds may invest in the stock of “passive foreign investment companies” (“PFICs”). A PFIC is a foreign corporation that, in general, meets either of the following tests: (1) at least 75% of its gross income is derived from passive investments; or (2) at least 50% of its assets (generally computed based on average fair market value) held during the taxable year produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. Under certain circumstances, a fund will be subject to federal income tax on gain from the disposition of PFIC shares and on certain distributions from a PFIC (collectively, “excess distributions”), plus interest thereon, even if the fund distributes the excess distributions as a taxable dividend to its shareholders. If a fund invests in a PFIC and elects in the first year in which it holds such investment (or if it elects subsequently and makes certain other elections) to treat the PFIC as a “qualified electing fund,” then in lieu of the foregoing tax and interest obligation, the fund will be required to include in income each year its pro rata share of the qualified electing fund’s annual ordinary earnings and net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses). This income inclusion is required even if the PFIC does not distribute such income and gains to the fund, and the amounts so included would be subject to the Distribution Requirement described above. In many instances it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to make this election because of certain requirements thereof. In order to distribute any such income and gains and satisfy the distribution requirements applicable to RICs, a fund may be required to liquidate portfolio securities that it might otherwise have continued to hold, potentially resulting in additional taxable gain or loss to the fund.

A fund may, in the alternative, elect to mark to market its PFIC stock at the end of each taxable year, with the result that unrealized gains are treated as though they were realized as of such date. Any such gains will be ordinary income rather than capital gain. In order for a fund making this election to distribute any such income and gains and satisfy the distribution requirements applicable to RICs, the fund may be required to liquidate portfolio securities that it might otherwise have continued to hold, potentially resulting in additional taxable gain or loss to the fund. If the mark-to-market election were made, tax at the fund level under the excess distribution rules would be eliminated, but a fund could still incur nondeductible interest charges if it makes the mark-to-market election in a year after the first taxable year in which it acquired the PFIC stock.

Options, Futures and Forward Contracts and Swap Agreements: Certain options, futures contracts, and forward contracts in which a fund may invest may be “Section 1256 contracts.” Gains or losses on Section 1256 contracts generally are considered 60% long-term and 40% short-term capital gains or losses; however, foreign currency gains or losses arising from certain Section 1256 contracts may be treated as ordinary income or loss. Also, Section 1256 contracts held by a fund at the end of each taxable year are “marked to market” with the result that unrealized gains or losses are treated as though they were realized. In order to distribute any such gains, satisfy the distribution requirements applicable to RICs and avoid taxation, a fund may be required to liquidate portfolio securities that it might otherwise have continued to hold, potentially resulting in additional taxable gain or loss to the fund.

Generally, the hedging transactions undertaken by a fund may result in “straddles” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The straddle rules may affect the character of gains (or losses) realized by a fund. In addition, losses realized by a fund on positions that are part of a straddle may be deferred under the straddle rules, rather than being taken into account in calculating the taxable income for the taxable year in which

66

such losses are realized. Because only a few regulations implementing the straddle rules have been promulgated, the tax consequences of transactions in options, futures, forward contracts, swap agreements and other financial contracts to a fund are not entirely clear. The transactions may increase the amount of short-term capital gain realized by a fund, which is taxed as ordinary income when distributed to shareholders.

A fund may make one or more of the elections available under the Code which are applicable to straddles. If a fund makes any of the elections, the amount, character and timing of the recognition of gains or losses from the affected straddle positions will be determined under rules that vary according to the election(s) made. The rules applicable under certain of the elections may operate to accelerate the recognition of gains or losses from the affected straddle positions.

Because application of the straddle rules may affect the character of gains or losses, defer losses and/or accelerate the recognition of gains or losses from the affected straddle positions, the amount which must be distributed to shareholders, and which will be taxed to shareholders as ordinary income or long-term capital gain, may be increased or decreased as compared to a fund that did not engage in such hedging transactions.

Because only a few regulations regarding the treatment of swap agreements, and related caps, floors and collars, have been promulgated, the tax consequences of such transactions are not entirely clear. The funds intend to account for such transactions in a manner deemed by them to be appropriate, but the Internal Revenue Service might not accept such treatment. If it did not, the status of a fund as a RIC might be affected.

The requirements applicable to a fund’s qualification as a RIC may limit the extent to which a fund will be able to engage in transactions in options, futures contracts, forward contracts, swap agreements and other financial contracts.

Certain hedging activities may cause a dividend that would otherwise be subject to the lower tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income to instead be taxed at the rate of tax applicable to ordinary income.

Original Issue Discount: If a fund invests in certain pay-in-kind securities, zero coupon securities, deferred interest securities or, in general, any other securities with original issue discount (or with market discount if the fund elects to include market discount in income currently), the fund generally must accrue income on such investments for each taxable year, which generally will be prior to the receipt of the corresponding cash payments. However, each fund must distribute to its shareholders, at least annually, all or substantially all of its investment company taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid) and net tax-exempt income, including any such accrued income, to qualify for treatment as a RIC under the Code and avoid U.S. federal income and excise taxes. Therefore, a fund may have to dispose of its portfolio securities to generate cash, or may have to borrow the cash, to satisfy distribution requirements. Such a disposition of securities may potentially result in additional taxable gain or loss to a fund.

Constructive Sales: The constructive sale rules may affect timing and character of gain if a fund engages in transactions that reduce or eliminate its risk of loss with respect to appreciated financial positions. If a fund enters into certain transactions in property while holding substantially identical property, the fund will be treated as if it had sold and immediately repurchased the property and will be taxed on any gain (but not loss) from the constructive sale. The character of any gain from a constructive sale will depend upon the fund’s holding period in the property. Any loss from a constructive sale will be recognized when the property is subsequently disposed of, and the character of such loss will depend on the fund’s holding period and the application of various loss deferral provisions of the Code.

Foreign Currency Transactions: Under the Code, gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates which occur between the time a fund accrues income or expenses denominated in a foreign currency (or determined by reference to the value of one or more foreign currencies) and the time that a fund actually receives or makes payment of such income or expenses, generally are treated as ordinary income or ordinary loss. Similarly, on disposition of debt securities denominated in a foreign currency and on disposition of certain futures contracts, forward contracts and options, gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in the value of foreign currency between the date of acquisition of the security or contract and the date of disposition generally are also treated as ordinary gain or loss. Some of the funds have elected, or may elect, to treat this foreign currency income as capital gain or capital loss.

Backup Withholding: Each fund is required to withhold (as “backup withholding”) a portion of reportable payments, including dividends, capital gain distributions, exempt interest dividends and the proceeds of redemptions and exchanges or repurchases of fund shares (except for proceeds of redemptions of shares in Transamerica Money Market), paid to shareholders who have not complied with certain IRS regulations. The backup withholding rate is 28%. In order to avoid this withholding requirement, shareholders, other than certain exempt entities, must certify that the Social Security Number or other Taxpayer Identification Number they provide is correct and that they are not currently subject to backup withholding, or that they are exempt from backup withholding. A fund may nevertheless be required to backup withhold if it receives notice from the IRS or a broker that the number provided is incorrect or backup withholding is applicable as a result of previous underreporting of interest or dividend income.

Cost Basis: Each fund (other than Transamerica Money Market) will report to the IRS the amount of sale proceeds that a shareholder receives from a sale or exchange of fund shares. For sales or exchanges of shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012, each fund (other than Transamerica Money Market) will also report basis and acquisition date information in those shares and the character of any gain or loss that the shareholder realizes on the sale or exchange (i.e., short-term or long-term). If a shareholder has a different basis for different shares of a fund in the same account (e.g., if a shareholder purchased fund shares in the same account when the shares were at different prices), the fund

67

or the shareholder’s Service Agent (banks, broker-dealers, insurance companies, investment advisers, financial consultants or advisers, mutual fund supermarkets and other financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with the funds’ distributor to sell shares of the applicable fund), as applicable, will calculate the basis of the shares sold using its default method unless the shareholder has properly elected to use a different method. The funds’ default method for calculating basis will be the average cost method. A shareholder may elect, on an account-by-account basis, to use a method other than average cost by following procedures established by the fund or the shareholder’s Service Agent, as applicable. For purposes of calculating and reporting basis, shares acquired prior to January 1, 2012 and shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 will be treated as held in separate accounts. If a shareholder elects to use a different method of basis calculation, the application of that method will depend on whether shares in an account have already been sold or exchanged. For information regarding available methods for calculating cost basis and procedures for electing a method other than the average cost method, shareholders who hold their shares directly with a fund may call the fund at 1-888-233-4339 Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). Shareholders who hold shares through a Service Agent should contact the Service Agent for information concerning the Service Agent’s default method for calculating basis and procedures for electing to use an alternative method. Shareholders should consult their tax advisers concerning the tax consequences of applying the average cost method or electing another method of basis calculation.

Taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholders: Dividends from net investment income (other than, in general, exempt-interest dividends) that are paid to a shareholder who, as to the United States, is a nonresident alien individual, a foreign corporation or a foreign estate or foreign trust (each, a “foreign shareholder”) may be subject to a withholding tax at a rate of 30% or any lower applicable tax rate established in a treaty between the United States and the shareholder’s country of residence. For fund taxable years beginning before January 1, 2014, dividends that are derived from “qualified net interest income” and dividends that are derived from “qualified short-term gain” may be exempt from the 30% withholding tax, provided that the distributing fund chooses to follow certain procedures. A fund may choose to not follow such procedures and there can be no assurance as to the amount, if any, of dividends that would not be subject to withholding. Qualified net interest income is a fund’s net income derived from U.S.-source interest and original issue discount, subject to certain exceptions and limitations. Qualified short-term gain generally means the excess of the net short-term capital gain of the fund for the taxable year over its net long-term capital loss, if any. The withholding rules described in this paragraph do not apply to a dividend paid to a foreign shareholder if the dividend income is “effectively connected with the shareholder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States” and the shareholder provides appropriate tax forms and documentation. Backup withholding (described above) will not be imposed on foreign shareholders who are subject to the 30% withholding tax.

Unless certain non-U.S. entities that hold fund shares comply with IRS requirements that will generally require them to report information regarding U.S. persons investing in, or holding accounts with, such entities, a 30% withholding tax may apply to fund distributions payable to such entities after June 30, 2014 (or, in certain cases, after later dates) and redemptions and certain capital gain dividends payable to such entities after December 31, 2016. Exempt-interest dividends may be exempt from this withholding tax. A non-U.S. shareholder may be exempt from the withholding described in this paragraph under an applicable intergovernmental agreement between the U.S. and a foreign government, provided that the shareholder and the applicable foreign government comply with the terms of such agreement.

The treatment of dividends and other distributions by a fund to shareholders under the various state income tax laws may not parallel that under U.S. federal income tax law. Qualification as a RIC does not involve supervision of a fund’s management or of its investment policies and practices by any governmental authority.

Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with specific reference to their own tax situations, including any federal, state, local or foreign tax liabilities.
