Investment Objective:Seeks high total return by investing in high-quality, non-dollar denominated government and corporate debt securities of foreign issuers.

Fees and Expenses: This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the fund. There are no sales charges (load) or other transaction fees.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Management fees	0.52%
Distribution and service (12b-1) fees	None
Other expenses	0.08%
Total annual fund operating expenses	0.60%
Expense reductiona	0.00%
Total annual fund operating expenses after expense reduction	0.60%

 

^a Contractual arrangements have been made with the fund’s investment adviser, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), through March 1, 2011, to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses to the extent that the fund’s total operating expenses exceed 0.75%, excluding extraordinary expenses. TAM is entitled to reimbursement by the fund of fees waived or expenses reduced during any of the previous 36 months if on any day the estimated annualized fund operating expenses are less than the cap, excluding extraordinary expenses. The fund may not recapture any fees waived and/or reimbursed prior to March 1, 2008. The expense cap may be terminated by the fund’s Board of Trustees at any time.

 

Example:This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Share Class	1 year	3 years	5 years	10 years
I2	$61	$192	$335	$750

Portfolio Turnover: The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the fund performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate was 53% of the average value of the fund's portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies: The fund’s sub-adviser, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMorgan”), invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the fund’s net assets in high-quality bonds with outstanding maturities of at least one year. A bond is deemed to be “high-quality” if it has a rating of AA- or higher from Standard & Poor’s Corporation (“S&P”) or Aa3 or higher from Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) (or is an unrated security determined to be of comparable quality by the sub-adviser). Normally, the fund invests primarily in government and corporate debt securities of issuers that are economically tied to a number of countries throughout the world and expects to be invested in more than three different foreign countries. The fund may also invest up to 10% of its assets in emerging markets debt securities. JPMorgan

determines whether to buy and sell securities for the fund by using a combination of fundamental research and bond and currency valuation models. Generally, the fund will purchase only bonds denominated in foreign currencies. The fund generally limits its use of hedging strategies that may minimize the effect of currency fluctuations. However, the fund may hedge up to 25% of its total assets in U.S. dollars when the portfolio manager considers the dollar to be attractive relative to foreign currencies. The fund may also invest in options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and swap agreements, provided that such investments are keeping with the fund’s investment objective.

The fund may invest its assets in cash, cash equivalent securities or short-term debt securities, repurchase agreements and money market instruments. Under adverse or unstable market, economic or political conditions, the fund may take temporary defensive positions in cash and short-term debt securities without limit.

This fund is non-diversified.

Principal Risks: The value of your investment in the fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly from day to day and over time. You may lose part or all of your investment in the fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. The following is a summary of certain risks (in alphabetical order) of investing in the fund. You may lose money if you invest in this fund.

• Country, Sector or Industry Focus – To the extent the fund invests a significant portion of its assets in one or more countries, sectors or industries, the fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those countries, sectors or industries.

• Currency – When the fund invests in securities denominated in foreign currencies, the fund may incur currency conversion costs and may be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar. Currency exchange rates can be volatile and are affected by, among other factors, the general economics of a country, the actions of the U.S. and foreign governments or control banks, the imposition of currency controls, and speculation.

• Currency Hedging – The fund may hedge its currency risk, using currency futures, forwards or options. However, these instruments may not always work as intended, and a fund may be worse off than if it had not used a hedging instrument.

 

• Defensive Investing – Short-term debt securities held by the fund for defensive investing purposes can fluctuate in value. Like other fixed income securities, they are subject to risk, including market, interest rate and credit risk. If the fund holds cash uninvested it will be subject to the credit risk of the depository institution holding the cash. If a significant amount of the fund’s assets are used for defensive investing purposes, it will be more difficult for the fund to achieve its objective.

 

• Derivatives – Using derivatives can increase fund losses and reduce opportunities for gains when market prices, interest rates or the derivative instruments themselves behave in a way not anticipated by the fund. Using derivatives also can have a leveraging effect and increase fund volatility. Derivatives may be difficult to sell, unwind or value, and the counterparty may default on its obligations to the fund. The fund's investments in derivative instruments may involve a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed and may result in losses exceeding the amounts invested in those instruments.

• Emerging Markets – Investing in the securities of issuers located in or principally doing business in emerging markets are subject to foreign securities risks. These risks are greater for investments in emerging markets.

• Fixed-Income Securities – The market prices of fixed-income securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. When market prices fall, the value of your investment will go down. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities.

• Foreign Securities – Foreign securities are subject to a number of additional risks, including nationalization or expropriation of assets, imposition of currency controls or restrictions, confiscatory taxation, political or financial instability and other adverse economic or political developments. Lack of information and less market regulation also may affect the value of these securities.

• Increase in Expenses – Your actual costs of investing in the fund may be higher than the expenses shown in “Annual Fund Operating Expenses” for a variety of reasons. For example, expense ratios may be higher than those shown if average net assets decrease. Net assets are more likely to decrease and fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile.

2

• Liquidity – Some securities held by the fund may be difficult to sell, or illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may also be difficult to value. If the fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the fund may be forced to sell at a loss.

• Market – The market prices of the fund’s securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates or currency rates, lack of liquidity in the markets or adverse investor sentiment. Market prices of securities also may go down due to events or conditions that affect particular sectors or issuers. When market prices fall, the value of your investment will go down. The recent financial crisis has caused a significant decline in the value and liquidity of many securities. In response to the financial crisis, the federal government has taken various steps to stimulate the economy, and the expiration or termination of these stimulus measures may negatively affect the value and liquidity of certain securities. The fund may experience a substantial or complete loss on any individual security.

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

 

• Portfolio Selection – The sub-adviser’s judgment about a particular security or issuer, or about the economy or a particular sector, region or market segment, or about an investment strategy, may prove to be incorrect.
