Transamerica Aegon High Yield Bond VP

Effective immediately, the third paragraph under “Principal Investment Strategies” in the Prospectus and Summary Prospectus relating to the portfolio is deleted entirely and replaced as follows:

The sub-adviser uses a combination of a global “top-down” analysis of the macroeconomic and interest rate environment and proprietary “bottom-up” research of corporate and sovereign debt, stressed and distressed securities, and other debt instruments. In the sub-adviser’s “top-down” approach, the sub-adviser analyzes various fundamental, technical, sentiment, and valuation factors that the sub-adviser believes affect the movement of markets and securities prices worldwide. This “top-down” analysis assists the sub-adviser in analyzing portfolio risk and allocating assets among sectors, industries, and credit quality categories. In its proprietary “bottom-up” research, the sub-adviser considers various fundamental and other factors, such as creditworthiness and capital structure. The sub-adviser uses this combined “top-down” and “bottom-up” approach to determine asset class, sector, security, yield curve and duration positions for the portfolio. The sub-adviser’s research analysts also integrate environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters within their analytical process for credit issuers alongside traditional credit metrics as a risk management tool and as a method to identify financially material ESG factors and arrive at an independent, comprehensive view of the investment. Consideration of ESG matters is subjective and not determinative in the sub-adviser’s investment process. The sub-adviser may conclude that other attributes of an investment outweigh ESG considerations when making investment decisions. The sub‐adviser’s research analysts do not take ESG factors into consideration with respect to every investment in the portfolio.
