Transamerica Funds   Annual Report 2016


Table of Contents

Dear Shareholder,

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

This annual report is provided to you to show the investments of your Fund(s). The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that annual and semi-annual reports be sent to all shareholders, and we believe it to be an important part of the investment process. This report provides detailed information about your Fund(s) for the 12-month period ending October, 31, 2016.

We believe it is important to understand market conditions over the last year to provide a context for reading this report. At the beginning of the 1-year period that began on November 1, 2015, investors were trying to determine what rapidly declining oil prices - which had fallen from over $100 per barrel at the cyclical high to less than half that value by year end - would mean for markets. Adding more uncertainty toward year-end 2015 was the Federal Reserve’s (“Fed”) decision to finally raise the Fed funds rate by 0.25% in December, the first increase since 2006.

As the calendar turned to 2016, rapidly falling energy and commodity prices coupled with a weak U.S. gross domestic product report and weakness in overseas markets pressured U.S. equities, as concerns of a pending recession became more prevalent. In the months to follow however energy prices rebounded and economic growth remained positive thereby avoiding recessionary levels. Global markets sold off in late June following Great Britain’s surprise referendum vote in favor of departure from the European Union, (“Brexit”). Following the immediate negative reaction to this news, U.S. stocks recovered, and equity markets soon reached new all-time highs.

U.S. markets stayed range bound for most of the late summer and into the fall, with only a single bout of meaningful volatility in September when commentary from certain Fed Governors suggested that the case for a September rate hike was strengthening. That volatility proved temporary as September passed with no policy change at the central bank, and markets began to focus on the Fed meeting in December as the next possible target for a hike. The rising likelihood of rate increases resulted in the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield moving higher, and by October 31st had increased to 1.84% from a July low of 1.37%.

For the 1-year period ending October 31, 2016, the S&P 500® returned 4.51% while the MSCI EAFE Index, representing international developed market equities, lost (2.74)%. During the same period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 4.37%. Please keep in mind that it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio as investment returns have historically been difficult to predict.

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

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

Sincerely,

 

Marijn Smit

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 brought plenty of excitement. Just prior to the reporting period, global equity markets had staged a strong October 2015 rebound following a summer selloff. Not surprisingly, stocks fell back some in November and December, a move that was probably exacerbated by a conspicuous downturn in oil prices. Oil had been trending down since mid-2014 as increasing U.S. supply flooded the markets, but prices began another leg down in 2015’s final two months. Around the same time, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) hiked short-term rates by a quarter-point in December.

The Fed’s move was telegraphed well enough that investors seemed to take it in stride. But after New Year’s, global equity markets entered a fairly serious downward spiral from January through mid-February as weakness in the Chinese manufacturing sector stoked fears about global growth. Oil prices plummeted further as a result. The price for West Texas Intermediate crude oil reached $26 per barrel on February 11, having started the year at around $37 (itself a far cry from its $108 peak back in June 2014). But U.S. jobs data and other U.S. economic measures continued to come in on a healthy note, investors eventually appeared to relax, and the equity markets began to rise through the latter half of February and on into the summer. Oil prices rebounded as well, breaking over $50 by early June. The United Kingdom’s June 23 vote to leave the European Union (“Brexit”) threw a brief wrench into the works; global stock markets sold off for a couple of days following the vote, before regaining their footing in short order once investors digested the news. With U.S. economic data continuing to hold up in the ensuing months, equities drifted a little higher from July through October, albeit restrained a bit by the rancor and uncertainty of the U.S. presidential campaign.

Bonds took their own route. The stock-market volatility in early 2016 gave core bonds a boost as investors sought a safe haven. But U.S. high-yield bonds were dented during that stretch by fears of higher default rates, particularly within the energy sector. The January-February market gyrations prompted the Fed to soften its tone and delay its rate-hike plans, allowing investment-grade bonds to rally further as the year progressed. High-yield bonds recovered once oil prices started to stabilize in the spring. Throughout it all, international bonds were particularly strong in U.S. dollar terms, benefiting from accommodative central-bank policy abroad as well as currency gains against the U.S. dollar. Emerging-markets bonds enjoyed especially robust returns. Most investment-grade bonds cooled off in the period’s final three months, although high-yield bonds and emerging-markets bonds drifted further up in sympathy with the equity markets.

These ups and downs are obscured somewhat by the index returns for the full period. Over the 12 months, the S&P 500® managed a positive 4.51% return. U.S. small-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index, were a bit weaker with a 4.11% gain. Foreign developed markets were not able to eke out a positive return; their losses from November to February, and again surrounding Brexit, were too steep to fully recover. The MSCI EAFE Index of foreign developed markets recorded a (3.23)% loss. Emerging markets were brighter; the MSCI Emerging Markets Index notched a 9.27% gain (after lagging developed markets in 2013, 2014 and 2015). On the fixed-income side, an almost unbroken rally in core bonds in 2016’s first half helped the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index generate a strong 4.37% return. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index posted a 10.14% gain, and emerging-markets debt returns were in that same neighborhood - although it should be noted that both asset classes were coming off a poor 2015.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Asset Allocation – Conservative Portfolio Class A returned 3.83%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the Wilshire 5000® Total Market Index, returned 4.37% and 4.27%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The goal of the Transamerica Asset Allocation Funds has always been to provide investors one-stop participation in the global financial markets. The Fund provides a mix of about 35% equity and 65% fixed-income securities over time. The equity side is intended to cover both domestic and international markets across a range of investment styles, including larger and smaller companies and value and growth stocks. The fixed-income portion normally includes investment-grade and credit-sensitive holdings, shorter- and longer-term bonds, and international bonds. The Fund also normally incorporates emerging markets, and can own real estate securities and alternative strategies such as managed-futures, global-macro, event-driven and commodity-related strategies.

During the reporting period, most asset classes in which the Fund invests had positive returns. U.S. large-cap stocks were up moderately as a group, as were U.S. small-caps (with value stocks outperforming growth stocks in both cases). Emerging-markets equity was strong after lagging for several years. Investment-grade bonds gained nicely, while high-yield and other credit-sensitive bonds were up even more. The negative contributors from an asset-class perspective included foreign developed-market equities, particularly European equities. Europe makes up the bulk of core international markets, and the MSCI Europe Index lost (7.48)% for the 12-month period in U.S. dollar terms, largely due to currency movements. Commodities were also down over the period.

STRATEGY REVIEW (continued)

 

Some of our asset-class over/underweights were helpful. An overweight to high-yield credit in the bond sleeve was positive, as high-yield bonds outpaced investment-grade bonds on the whole. Our decision to overweight emerging markets relative to our neutral targets for the entire period was helpful as well; emerging-markets equity was one of the strongest-performing asset classes. We also went to an overweight in foreign developed-market value stocks in mid-August, and that timing turned out well. And being significantly underweight commodity futures continued to be on target. It should be noted that while we were underweight commodity futures, we did have exposure to energy infrastructure in the form of Transamerica MLP & Energy Income. We decided to establish a position in that fund when it was down sharply on falling oil prices in late 2015 and early 2016. We believed the types of energy distribution assets that the fund targets - such as oil and gas pipelines and storage facilities - were being unduly punished alongside oil producers, given the way their business models work. We phased into the position from October 2015 through mid-January 2016. As of the end of the reporting period, Transamerica MLP & Energy Income was up 21.42% year to date.

Among the underlying funds, performance was mixed. Six core U.S. large-cap funds anchor the U.S. equity sleeve. Three of those funds beat their style-specific indices and three did not. The U.S. mid-and small-cap funds were mixed as well, although Transamerica Small Cap Growth shined relative to the Russell 2000® Growth Index. Transamerica Large Cap Value also deserves mention; its 10.25% return was almost four percentage points better than the return of the Russell 1000® Value Index. The international equity fund holdings lagged as a group, but the bond funds pulled their weight pretty well, and they make up the bulk of this Fund. Four of the five core bond funds surpassed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s strong gain, and the Fund benefited from robust returns in the satellite bond funds. Indeed, the best-returning investment in the Fund was a bond fund: Transamerica Emerging Markets Debt, which gained 12.25%.

In our view, most asset classes were trading richly at period end. With interest rates at historically low levels for the past few years, investors have moved further out on the risk curve in search of return, bidding up prices across many asset classes. This has made it challenging to identify pockets of real value in the markets, forcing us to think more in relative-value terms. We have been finding U.S. stocks to be particularly expensive, and consequently have sought value in foreign equity markets, both developed and emerging. On the fixed-income side, we consider government bonds and other high-quality bonds to be trading far too richly for our tastes at their current, ultra-low yields. We believe high-grade bonds in the U.S. and other developed markets are more vulnerable to a rise in interest rates today than at just about any time in history. We are thus maintaining a below-benchmark duration in the bond sleeve to reduce rate sensitivity, and also targeting more assets than usual in high-yield bonds, floating-rate bank loans, and emerging-markets debt owing to better valuations. We also continue to hold a portion of the bond sleeve in hedge-like, absolute-return strategies, which we believe have the potential to offer bond-like returns without the same interest-rate sensitivity as bonds. Our overall goal is to position the Fund according to where our fundamental research suggests the best values are, while still delivering the one-stop, broad diversification that has always been the Fund’s hallmark.

(A) The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index measures investment grade, U.S. dollar denominated, fixed-rate taxable bonds, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, as well as both mortgage- and asset-backed securities.

(B) The Wilshire 5000® Total Market Index measures the performance of most U.S. domiciled public securities with readily available price data. Companies in the index are weighted by available float and market-capitalization.

The Fund’s benchmarks are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.50% for Class A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. There are no sales charges on Class I and R shares.

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

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

Asset allocation, like many investment strategies, offers no guarantee of positive returns, and mutual funds are subject to market risk, including loss of principal. Global/international stock funds and specialty/sector funds are subject to additional market risks. Fees associated with a fund-of-funds may be higher than with other funds. An investment in the Fund is subject to the risks associated with the underlying funds including fixed income investing which is subject to credit risk, inflation risk, and interest rate risk. Investments in small- and medium-sized companies present additional risks such as increased volatility because their earnings are less predictable, their share price more volatile, and their securities less liquid than larger or more established companies.

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Asset Allocation – Growth Portfolio Class A returned 3.28%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Wilshire 5000® Total Market Index, returned 4.27%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund’s goal has always been to provide investors one-stop participation in the global equity markets, with a few alternative-strategy funds included for diversification. The equity piece, which makes up more than 90% of the Fund, is intended to cover both domestic and international markets across a range of investment styles, including larger and smaller companies and value and growth stocks. The Fund also normally incorporates emerging markets, and can own real estate securities and alternative strategies such as managed-futures, global-macro, event-driven and commodity-related strategies.

U.S. large-cap stocks were up moderately as a group, as were U.S. small-caps (with value stocks outperforming growth stocks in both cases). Emerging-markets equity was strong after lagging for several years. The main negative contributor was foreign developed-market equities, particularly European equities. Europe makes up the bulk of core international markets, and the MSCI Europe Index lost (7.48)% in U.S. dollar terms, largely due to currency movements. Also, all three of the alternative strategies used in the Fund had returns lower than the benchmark’s, but we believe those investments helped to smooth volatility.

Our decision to overweight emerging markets, one of the strongest-performing asset classes, relative to our neutral targets for the entire period was positive. We also went to an overweight in foreign developed-market value stocks in mid-August, and that timing turned out well. Avoiding commodities continued to be a good decision.

Three of those funds beat their style-specific indices and three did not. The U.S. mid- and small-cap funds were mixed as well, although Transamerica Small Cap Growth shined relative to the Russell 2000® Growth Index. Transamerica Large Cap Value also deserves mention; its 10.25% return was almost four percentage points better than the return of the Russell 1000® Value Index. The international equity fund holdings lagged as a group, and as mentioned, the three absolute-return funds used did not keep up with the equity market’s returns. One of those funds - Transamerica Managed Futures Strategy - lost (5.00)%. But, we have seen that strategy help performance in a variety of market environments over the years.

In our view, most asset classes were trading richly as of period end. With interest rates at historically low levels for the past few years, investors have moved further out on the risk curve in search of return, bidding up prices across many asset classes. This has made it challenging to identify pockets of real value in the markets, forcing us to think more in relative-value terms. We have been finding U.S. stocks to be particularly expensive, and consequently have sought value in foreign equity markets, both developed and emerging. We have also been avoiding real estate securities, which have been bid up by yield-seekers. Our overall goal is to position the Fund according to where our fundamental research suggests the best values are, while still delivering the one-stop, broad diversification that has always been its hallmark.

Asset allocation, like many investment strategies, offers no guarantee of positive returns, and mutual funds are subject to market risk, including loss of principal. Global/international stock funds and specialty/sector funds are subject to additional market risks. Fees associated with a fund-of-funds may be higher than with other funds. Funds that invest in small- and medium-sized companies present additional risks such as increased volatility because their earnings are less predictable, their share price more volatile, and their securities less liquid than larger or more established companies.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 brought plenty of excitement. Just prior to the reporting period, global equity markets had staged a strong October 2015 rebound following a summer selloff. Not surprisingly, stocks fell back some in November and December, a move that was probably exacerbated by a conspicuous downturn in oil prices. Oil had been trending down since mid-2014 as increasing U.S. supply flooded the markets, but prices began another leg down in 2015’s final two months. Around the same time, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) hiked short-term rates by a quarter-point in December.

The Fed’s move was telegraphed well enough that investors seemed to take it in stride. But after New Year’s, global equity markets entered a fairly serious downward spiral from January through mid-February as weakness in the Chinese manufacturing sector stoked fears about global growth. Oil prices plummeted further as a result. The price for West Texas Intermediate crude oil reached $26 per barrel on February 11, having started the year at around $37 (itself a far cry from its $108 peak back in June 2014). But U.S. jobs data and other U.S. economic measures continued to come in on a healthy note, investors eventually appeared to relax, and the equity markets began to rise through the latter half of February and on into the summer. Oil prices rebounded as well, breaking over $50 by early June. The United Kingdom’s June 23 vote to leave the European Union (“Brexit”) threw a brief wrench into the works; global stock markets sold off for a couple of days following the vote, before regaining their footing in short order once investors digested the news. With U.S. economic data continuing to hold up in the ensuing months, equities drifted a little higher from July through October, albeit restrained a bit by the rancor and uncertainty of the U.S. presidential campaign.

Bonds took their own route. The stock-market volatility in early 2016 gave core bonds a boost as investors sought a safe haven. But U.S. high-yield bonds were dented during that stretch by fears of higher default rates, particularly within the energy sector. The January-February market gyrations prompted the Fed to soften its tone and delay its rate-hike plans, allowing investment-grade bonds to rally further as the year progressed. High-yield bonds recovered once oil prices started to stabilize in the spring. Throughout it all, international bonds were particularly strong in U.S. dollar terms, benefiting from accommodative central-bank policy abroad as well as currency gains against the U.S. dollar. Emerging-markets bonds enjoyed especially robust returns. Most investment-grade bonds cooled off in the period’s final three months, although high-yield bonds and emerging-markets bonds drifted further up in sympathy with the equity markets.

These ups and downs are obscured somewhat by the index returns for the full period. Over the 12 months, the S&P 500® managed a positive 4.51% return. U.S. small-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index, were a bit weaker with a 4.11% gain. Foreign developed markets were not able to eke out a positive return; their losses from November to February, and again surrounding Brexit, were too steep to fully recover. The MSCI EAFE Index of foreign developed markets recorded a (3.23)% loss. Emerging markets were brighter; the MSCI Emerging Markets Index notched a 9.27% gain (after lagging developed markets in 2013, 2014 and 2015). On the fixed-income side, an almost unbroken rally in core bonds in 2016’s first half helped the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index generate a strong 4.37% return. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index posted a 10.14% gain, and emerging-markets debt returns were in that same neighborhood - although it should be noted that both asset classes were coming off a poor 2015.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Asset Allocation – Moderate Growth Portfolio Class A returned 3.35%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks the Wilshire 5000® Total Market Index and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 4.27% and 4.37%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The goal of the Transamerica Asset Allocation Portfolios has always been to provide investors one-stop participation in the global financial markets. The Fund provides a mix of about 70% equity and 30% fixed-income securities over time. The equity side is intended to cover both domestic and international markets across a range of investment styles, including larger and smaller companies and value and growth stocks. The fixed-income portion normally includes investment-grade and credit-sensitive holdings, shorter- and longer-term bonds, and international bonds. The Fund also normally incorporates emerging markets, and can own real estate securities and alternative strategies such as managed-futures, global-macro, event-driven and commodity-related strategies.

During the reporting period, most asset classes in which the Fund invests had positive returns. U.S. large-cap stocks were up moderately as a group, as were U.S. small-caps (with value stocks outperforming growth stocks in both cases). Emerging-markets equity was strong after lagging for several years. Investment-grade bonds gained nicely, while high-yield and other credit-sensitive bonds were up even more. The negative contributors from an asset-class perspective included foreign developed-market equities, particularly European equities. Europe makes up the bulk of core international markets, and the MSCI Europe Index lost (7.48)% for the 12-month period in U.S. dollar terms, largely due to currency movements. Commodities were also down over the period.

STRATEGY REVIEW (continued)

 

Some of our asset-class over/underweights were helpful. Our decision to overweight emerging markets, one of the strongest-performing asset classes, relative to our neutral targets for the entire period was positive. We also went to an overweight in foreign developed-market value stocks in mid-August, and that timing turned out well. In the bond sleeve, maintaining an overweight in high-yield bonds was positive. Being significantly underweight commodity futures continued to be on target. It should be noted that while we were underweight commodity futures, we did have exposure to energy infrastructure in the form of Transamerica MLP & Energy Income. We decided to establish a position when that fund was down sharply on falling oil prices in late 2015 and early 2016. We believed the types of energy distribution assets that the fund targets - such as oil and gas pipelines and storage facilities - were being unduly punished alongside oil producers, given the differences in business models. We phased into the position from October 2015 through mid-January 2016. As of the end of the reporting period, Transamerica MLP & Energy Income was up 21.42% year to date.

Among the underlying funds, performance was mixed. Six core U.S. large-cap funds anchor the U.S. equity sleeve, and are thus fairly sizable positions. Three of those funds beat their style-specific indices and three did not. The U.S. mid- and small-cap funds were mixed as well, although Transamerica Small Cap Growth shined relative to the Russell 2000® Growth Index. Transamerica Large Cap Value also deserves mention; its 10.25% return was almost four percentage points better than the return of the Russell 1000® Value Index. The international equity fund holdings lagged as a group, but the bond funds pulled their weight well. Four of the five core bond funds surpassed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s strong gain, and the Fund benefited from robust returns in the satellite bond funds. Indeed, the best-returning investment in the Fund was a bond strategy: Transamerica Emerging Markets Debt, which gained 12.25%.

In our view, most asset classes were trading richly at period end. With interest rates at historically low levels for the past few years, investors have moved further out on the risk curve in search of return, bidding up prices across many asset classes. This has made it challenging to identify pockets of real value in the markets, forcing us to think more in relative-value terms. We have been finding U.S. stocks to be particularly expensive, and consequently have sought value in foreign equity markets, both developed and emerging. On the fixed-income side, we consider government bonds and other high-quality bonds to be trading far too richly for our tastes at their current, ultra-low yields. We believe high-grade bonds in the U.S. and other developed markets are more vulnerable to a rise in interest rates today than at just about any time in history. We are thus maintaining a below-benchmark duration in the bond sleeve to reduce rate sensitivity, and targeting more assets than usual in high-yield bonds, floating-rate bank loans, and emerging-markets debt, owing to better valuations. We also continue to hold a portion of the bond sleeve in hedge-like absolute-return strategies, which we believe have the potential to offer bond-like returns without the same interest-rate sensitivity as bonds. Our overall goal is to position the Fund according to where our fundamental research suggests the best values are, while still delivering the one-stop, broad diversification that has always been the Fund’s hallmark.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The 12-month period through October 31, 2016 was not unlike any other post-crisis era. Interest rates and growth remained low, global central banks remained unprecedentedly accommodative, and geopolitical events punctuated the grinding, but still positive economic improvements.

In December 2015, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) raised its Fed funds rate target for the first time since 2006, taking its first substantive step toward normalizing the stance of monetary policy since ceasing the quantitative easing program in 2014. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) and the Bank of Japan (“BoJ”), meanwhile, continued to provide monetary stimulus over the period. The ECB launched a new corporate bond purchase program in the summer of 2016, meant to ease lending conditions in the real economy and boost credit market activity. Late in the summer, the BoJ shifted gears and adopted a new policy target, which saw global developed sovereign yields turn increasingly negative.

Domestically, the economic environment steadily improved. Labor market conditions brightened, while the unemployment rate hovered around the five percent level. Goods and services prices crept higher in aggregate, as the consumer price Index went from no year-over-year growth in September 2015 to registering approximately one and half percent growth in September 2016. Crude oil prices remained volatile thought the period.

In the U.S. financial markets, interest rates finished the fiscal year lower, while equities and the dollar were stronger. Corporate credit total returns also improved and spreads tightened markedly. Volatility was elevated around calendar year-end and slowly settled down only to surge again mid-year on the United Kingdom’s vote to exit European Union.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio Class A, returned 1.07%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month Treasury Bill + 3% Wrap Index and the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index, returned 3.36% and (1.30)%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The largest contributors were high yield and emerging markets debt, which were increased aggressively at the end of January. Managed futures and emerging market bonds were also strong contributors, which helped hedge the balance of the Fund.

Nearly all of the equity hedge components were negative, with the exception of developing markets equity. The largest detractors were master-limited partnerships and global macro.

During the period, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions added to performance.

(A) The BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month Treasury Bill + 3% Wrap Index assumes a 3% wrap fee and is comprised of a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month, which is subsequently sold at the end of the month and rolled into a newly selected issue. The issue selected at each month-end rebalancing is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond, three months from the rebalancing date.

(B) The HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index is designed to measure the daily performance of the overall composition of the hedge fund universe. It is comprised of all eligible hedge fund strategies; including but not limited to convertible arbitrage, distressed securities, equity hedge, equity market neutral, event driven, macro, merger arbitrage, and relative value arbitrage.

(C) Not annualized.

The BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month Treasury Bill + 3% Wrap Index is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. The HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index is a passively-managed index designed to measure the daily performance of the overall composition of the hedge fund universe. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.50% for Class A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. There are no sales charges on Class I and Class R6 shares.

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

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

Alternative strategies may not suitable for all investors. Many alternative strategies tend to use sophisticated and aggressive investment techniques. Certain alternative strategies may be tied to hard assets such as commodities, currencies and real estate and may be subject to greater volatility as they may be affected by overall market movements, changes in interest rates or factors affecting a particular industry, commodity or currency, and international economic, political, and regulatory developments.

Understanding Your Funds’ Expenses

 

 

(unaudited)

 

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

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

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

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2016, and held for the entire period until October 31, 2016.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

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

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

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

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

The Trust applies investment company accounting and reporting guidance. The funds (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are each a series of the Trust and are listed below. Each class has a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Effective November 1, 2013, Class B shares are no longer available to existing investors except for exchanges, and dividend and capital gains reinvestment.

Each Fund, a “fund of fund”, invests the majority of its assets among certain affiliated series of the Trust (hereafter referred to as “Underlying Funds”). The financial statements of the Underlying Funds, including the Schedule of Investments, should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ financial statements. The Underlying Funds’ shareholder reports are not covered by this report.

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

Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) serves as investment manager for the Funds. TAM provides continuous and regular investment management services to the Funds. TAM supervises each Fund’s investments, conducts its investment program and provides supervisory, compliance and administrative services to the Funds.

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 a Fund without the use of a sub-adviser. When acting as a manager of managers, TAM provides investment management services that include, without limitation, the design and development of the Funds and their investment strategies and the ongoing review and evaluation of those investment strategies including recommending changes in strategy where it believes appropriate or advisable; the selection of one or more sub-advisers for the Funds 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 and evaluation of sub-adviser performance; daily monitoring of the sub-advisers’ buying and selling of securities for the Funds; regular review of 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 (the “Board”), participation in these meetings and preparation of regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation, and review, of prospectuses, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and 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 management services. TAM, not the Funds, is responsible for paying the sub-advisers for their services, and sub-advisory fees are TAM’s expense.

Effective March 1, 2016, TAM’s investment management services also include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to the Funds. These services include performing certain administrative services for the Funds and supervising and overseeing the administrative, clerical, recordkeeping and bookkeeping services provided to the Funds by State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), to whom TAM has outsourced the provision of certain services as described below; to the extent agreed upon by TAM and the Funds from time to time, monitoring and verifying the custodian’s daily calculation of Net Asset Values (“NAV”); shareholder relations functions; compliance services; valuation services; assisting in due diligence and in oversight and monitoring of certain activities of sub-advisers and certain aspects of fund investments; assisting with fund combinations and liquidations; oversight of the preparation and filing, and review, of all returns and reports, in connection with federal, state and local taxes; oversight and review of regulatory reporting; supervising and coordinating the Funds’ custodian and dividend disbursing agent and monitoring their services to the Funds; assisting the Funds in preparing reports to shareholders; acting as liaison with the Funds’ independent public accountants and providing, upon request, analyses, fiscal year summaries and other audit related services; assisting in the preparation of agendas and supporting documents for and minutes of meetings of trustees and committees of trustees; assisting in the preparation of regular communications with the trustees; and providing personnel and office space, telephones and other office equipment as necessary in

order for TAM to perform supervisory and administrative services to the Funds. Prior to March 1, 2016, Transamerica Funds Services, Inc. (“TFS”) provided administrative services to the Funds.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification basis. Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income and capital gain distributions from investment companies, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends and net realized gain (loss) for the Funds are from investments in shares of investment companies. Income or short-term capital gain distributions received from investment companies are recorded as dividend income. Long-term capital gain distributions received from investment companies are recorded as realized gains.

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

Distributions to shareholders: Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

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

Payables, if any, are reflected as Due to custodian in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Expenses, if any, from U.S. cash overdrafts are reflected in Custody fees within the Statements of Operations. Expenses, if any, from foreign cash overdrafts are reflected in Other expenses within the Statements of Operations.

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

There were no commissions recaptured during the year ended October 31, 2016 by the Funds.

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

3. SECURITY VALUATION

All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. The Funds value their investments at the official close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) each day the NYSE is open for business.

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The three levels (“Levels”) of inputs of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

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

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

At October 31, 2016

 

3. SECURITY VALUATION (continued)

 

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

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different Levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the Level in the fair value hierarchy that is assigned to the fair value measurement of a security is determined based on the lowest Level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Certain investments that are measured at fair value using NAV per share, or its equivalent, practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value levels. The hierarchy classification of inputs used to value the Funds’ investments, at October 31, 2016, is disclosed within the Security Valuation section of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

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

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

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

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

Investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETF”): Investment companies are valued at the NAV of the Underlying Funds. These securities are actively traded and no valuation adjustments are applied. ETFs are stated at the last reported sale price or closing price on the day of valuation taken from the primary exchange where the security is principally traded. Investment companies and ETFs are generally categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments in privately held investment funds with significant restrictions on redemptions where the inputs of NAVs are unobservable will be valued based upon the NAVs of such investments and are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Repurchase agreements: Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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

4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

 

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

Restricted and illiquid securities held at October 31, 2016, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments.

5. BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

The Funds 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 their investment policies, to raise additional cash to be invested in other securities or instruments. When the Funds invest borrowing proceeds in other securities, the Funds 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. The Funds may borrow on a secured or on an unsecured basis. If the Funds enter into a secured borrowing arrangement, a portion of the Funds’ assets will be used as collateral. The 1940 Act requires the Funds to maintain asset coverage of at least 300% of the amount of their borrowings. Asset coverage means the ratio that the value of the Funds’ 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 Funds may borrow, it does not otherwise mitigate the risks of entering into borrowing transactions.

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

Repurchase agreements are subject to netting agreements, which are agreements between the Funds and their counterparties that provide for the net settlement of all transactions and collateral with the Funds, through a single payment, in the event of default or termination. Amounts presented on the Schedule of Investments, and as part of Repurchase agreements, at value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are shown on a gross basis. The value of the related collateral for each repurchase agreement, as reflected within the Schedule of Investments, exceeds the value of each repurchase agreement at October 31, 2016.

Repurchase agreements at October 31, 2016, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

6. RISK EXPOSURES AND THE USE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Funds’ investment objectives allow the Funds to use various types of derivative contracts, including option contracts, swap agreements, futures contracts, and forward foreign currency contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.

Market Risk Factors: In pursuit of the Funds’ investment objectives, the Funds may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease their exposure to the following market risks:

Interest rate risk: Interest rate risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of fixed income securities due to changes in the prevailing levels of market interest rates.

Foreign exchange rate risk: Foreign exchange rate risk relates to fluctuations in the value of an asset or liability due to changes in the currency exchange rates.

Equity risk: Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Credit risk: Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of a financial instrument to make further principal or interest payments on an obligation or commitment that it has to the Funds.

Commodity risk: Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indices as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

At October 31, 2016

 

6. RISK EXPOSURES AND THE USE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS (continued)

 

The Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Funds will be unable to sell or close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligations to the Funds. Investing in derivatives may also involve greater risks than investing directly in the underlying assets, such as losses in excess of any initial investment and collateral received. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

The Funds’ exposure to market risk factors and other associated risks are discussed by derivative type as follows:

Futures contracts: The Funds are subject to equity and commodity risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities and commodities, interest rates, or foreign currencies. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, the Funds are required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or in securities, an initial margin in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid or received by the Funds, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Funds. Upon entering into such contracts, the Funds bear the risk of equity and commodity prices, interest rates, or exchange rates moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize losses. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange.

Open futures contracts at October 31, 2016, if any, are listed within the Schedule of Investments. Variation margin, if applicable, is shown in Variation margin receivable or payable within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

As of October 31, 2016, there are no amounts available for recapture by TAM.

Distribution and service fees: The Trust has a distribution plan (“Distribution Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, the Trust entered into a distribution agreement with TCI as the Funds’ distributor.

The Distribution Plan requires the Funds to pay distribution fees to TCI as compensation for various distribution activities, not as reimbursement for specific expenses. Under the Distribution Plan and distribution agreement, TCI, on behalf of the Funds, is authorized to pay various service providers, as direct payment for expenses incurred in connection with distribution of the Funds shares. The distribution and service fees are included in Distribution fees within the Statements of Operations.

10. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

The Funds have not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to their policy to distribute all of their taxable income and capital gains to their shareholders and otherwise qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The Funds’ federal and state tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities for the prior three years. Management has evaluated the Funds’ tax provisions taken for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. If applicable, the Funds recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and penalties expense in Other on the Statements of Operations. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, the state of Colorado, and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to different treatment for items including, but not limited to, wash sales and liquidating trust basis adjustments. Therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. The primary permanent differences are due to liquidating trust basis adjustments, prior year non-real estate investment trust return of capital adjustments, and distribution re-designations. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or results of operations. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences. These permanent reclassifications are as follows:

 

Fund   Paid-in Capital     Undistributed
(Distributions in
Excess of) Net
Investment
Income (Loss)
    Accumulated
Net Realized
Gain (Loss)

11. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In October 2016, the SEC adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together the, “Final Rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the Final Rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the implication, if any, of the additional disclosure requirements and its impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

12. CUSTODY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE

In December 2015, State Street Bank and Trust Co., the Funds’ custodian, identified inconsistencies in the way in which clients were invoiced for categories of expenses, particularly those deemed out-of-pocket costs, during an 18-year period going back to 1998. The issue was the result of inaccurate billing rates that were not subsequently reviewed or adjusted. The amount of the difference in what was charged and what should have been charged, plus interest, was paid back to the Funds in September 2016 as a reimbursement. The amounts applicable to each Fund, if any, were recognized as a change in accounting estimate and are reflected in Reimbursement of custody fees within the Statements of Operations. This resulted in a decrease in Net expenses and an overall increase in Net assets.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Transamerica Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Transamerica Asset Allocation – Conservative Portfolio, Transamerica Asset Allocation – Growth Portfolio, Transamerica Asset Allocation – Moderate Growth Portfolio, Transamerica Asset Allocation – Moderate Portfolio, and Transamerica Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio (five of the funds of the Transamerica Funds collectively known as the “Funds”), as of October 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds at October 31, 2016, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years and periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

TRANSAMERICA FUNDS

MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS — CONTRACT RENEWAL

(unaudited)

 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica Funds (the “Trustees” or the “Board”) held on June 8-9, 2016, the Board considered the renewal of the management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) between Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) and Transamerica Funds, on behalf of each of the following funds (each a “Portfolio” and collectively the “Portfolios”):

 

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Conservative Portfolio

   Transamerica Asset Allocation – Moderate Portfolio

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Growth Portfolio

   Transamerica Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Moderate Growth Portfolio

  

For the Portfolios listed in the left column below, the Board also considered the renewal of the investment sub-advisory agreements (each a “Sub-Advisory Agreement,” and collectively the “Sub-Advisory Agreements” and, together with the Management Agreement, the “Agreements”) between TAM and the corresponding sub-advisers listed in the right column below (each a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively the “Sub-Advisers”).

 

Portfolio    Sub-Adviser

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Conservative Portfolio

   Morningstar Investment Management LLC

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Growth Portfolio

   Morningstar Investment Management LLC

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Moderate Growth Portfolio

   Morningstar Investment Management LLC

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Moderate Portfolio

   Morningstar Investment Management LLC

Transamerica Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio

   Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC

Following its review and consideration, the Board determined that the terms of the Management Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable and that the renewal of each of the Agreements was in the best interests of the applicable Portfolio and its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the renewal of each of the Agreements through June 30, 2017. Prior to reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and received from TAM and each Sub-Adviser certain information. They then reviewed such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreements, including information they had previously received from TAM and each Sub-Adviser as part of their regular oversight of each Portfolio. The Trustees considered comparative fee, expense and performance information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of mutual fund performance information, as well as fee, expense and profitability information prepared by TAM. To the extent applicable, the Trustees also considered information about fees and performance of comparable funds and/or accounts managed by each Sub-Adviser.

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided

The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by TAM and each Sub-Adviser to the applicable Portfolio in the past and the services anticipated to be provided in the future. The Board also considered the investment approach for each Portfolio; the experience, capability and integrity of TAM’s senior management; the financial resources of TAM; TAM’s management oversight process; and the professional qualifications of the portfolio management team of each Sub-Adviser.

The Board also considered the continuous and regular investment management and other services provided by TAM for the portion of the management fee it retains from each Portfolio after payment of the sub-advisory fees. The Trustees noted that, at a meeting held on December 9-10, 2015, they had approved the combination of the Portfolios’ former Investment Advisory Agreement and Administrative Service Agreement into the Management Agreement in connection with the transition of the personnel and operations of Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. that relate to the provision of administrative services into TAM. They noted that this combination of agreements had resulted in each Portfolio paying a single management fee for investment advisory and administrative services. The Board noted that the investment management and other services provided by TAM include the design, development and ongoing review and evaluation of each Portfolio and its investment strategy; the selection, oversight and monitoring of one or more investment sub-advisers to perform certain duties with respect to the Portfolios; 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 Portfolio investments; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a compliance program for the Portfolios; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the voting of proxies and exercise of rights to consent to corporate action for Portfolio investments; participation in Board meetings and oversight of preparation of materials for the Board, including

materials for Board meetings and regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation of the Portfolios’ prospectuses, statements of additional information, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and regulatory filings for the Portfolios; and ongoing cash management services. The Board considered that TAM’s investment management services also include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to each Portfolio. The Board also noted that TAM, as part of the services it provides to all Transamerica mutual funds, including the Portfolios, oversees the services provided by the funds’ custodian, transfer agent, independent accountant and legal counsel and supervises the performance of the recordkeeping and shareholder functions of the funds.

Investment Performance

In addition, the Board considered the short- and longer-term performance, as applicable, of each Portfolio in light of its investment objective, policies and strategies, including relative performance against (i) a peer universe of comparable mutual funds, as prepared by Lipper, and (ii) the Portfolio’s benchmark(s), in each case for various trailing periods ended December 31, 2015.

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Conservative Portfolio. The Board noted that the performance of Class A Shares of the Portfolio was above the median for its peer universe for the past 1- and 3-year periods and in line with the median for the past 5- and 10-year periods. The Board also noted that the performance of Class A Shares of the Portfolio was below its composite benchmark for the past 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods.

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Growth Portfolio. The Board noted that the performance of Class A Shares of the Portfolio was above the median for its peer universe for the past 1- and 3-year periods and in line with the median for the past 5- and 10-year periods. The Board also noted that the performance of Class A Shares of the Portfolio was below its composite benchmark for the past 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods.

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Moderate Growth Portfolio. The Board noted that the performance of Class A Shares of the Portfolio was above the median for its peer universe for the past 1-year period, in line with the median for the past 3- and 10-year periods and below the median for the past 5-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of Class A Shares of the Portfolio was below its composite benchmark for the past 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods.

Transamerica Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio. The Board noted that the performance of Class A Shares of the Portfolio was below the median for its peer universe for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. The Board also noted that the performance of Class A Shares of the Portfolio was below its primary benchmark for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. The Trustees discussed the reasons for the underperformance with TAM and TAM agreed to continue to closely monitor and report to the Board on the performance of the Portfolio. The Trustees observed that the performance of the Portfolio had improved during 2016. The Board noted that the Portfolio had made certain changes to its investment strategy in March 2016.

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

Management and Sub-Advisory Fees and Total Expense Ratios

The Board considered the management fee and total expense ratio of each Portfolio, including information provided by Lipper comparing the management fee and total expense ratio of each Portfolio to the management fees and total expense ratios of comparable investment companies in both a peer group and broader peer universe compiled by Lipper. The Board also considered the fees charged by the Sub-Advisers for sub-advisory services, as well as the portion of a Portfolio’s management fee retained by TAM following payment of the sub-advisory fee(s) and how the portion of the contractual management fee retained by TAM at a specified asset level compared to the portions retained by other investment advisers managing mutual funds with similar investment strategies as calculated by Strategic Insight and/or Lipper, each an independent provider of information.

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Conservative Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s contractual management fee was below the median for its peer group and in line with the median for its peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class A Shares of the Portfolio were above the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Portfolio, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

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

(unaudited)

 

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

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Moderate Growth Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s contractual management fee was in line with the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class A Shares of the Portfolio were above the median for its peer group and in line with the median for its peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Portfolio, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s contractual management fee was below the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class A Shares of the Portfolio were in line with the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Portfolio, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

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

Cost of Services Provided and Level of Profitability

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

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

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

Economies of Scale

The Board considered economies of scale with respect to the management of each Portfolio, whether the Portfolio had appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there was the potential for realization of any future economies of scale. The Board also considered the existence of economies of scale with respect to management of the Transamerica mutual funds overall and the extent to which the Portfolios benefited from any economies of scale. The Board considered each Portfolio’s management fee schedule

TRANSAMERICA FUNDS

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

(unaudited)

 

and the existence of breakpoints, if any, and also considered the extent to which TAM shared economies of scale, if any, with the Portfolios through investments in maintaining and developing its capabilities and services. The Trustees concluded that each Portfolio’s fee structure reflected an appropriate sharing of any efficiencies or economies of scale to date and noted that they will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine the appropriateness of the management fees payable to TAM and the fees paid to the Sub-Advisers in light of any economies of scale experienced in the future.

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

The Board considered other benefits derived by TAM, its affiliates, and/or the Sub-Advisers from their relationships with the Portfolios. The Board noted that TAM does not realize soft dollar benefits from its relationships with the Portfolios and that TAM believes that any use of soft dollars by the Sub-Advisers is generally appropriate and in the best interests of the Portfolios.

Other Considerations

The Board noted that TAM has made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel and maintains the financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage each Portfolio in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board favorably considered the procedures and policies TAM has in place to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Advisers. The Board also noted that TAM has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Portfolios.

Conclusion

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

Transamerica Funds   Annual Report 2016


Table of Contents

Dear Shareholder,

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

This annual report is provided to you to show the investments of your Fund(s). The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that annual and semi-annual reports be sent to all shareholders, and we believe it to be an important part of the investment process. This report provides a detailed information about your Fund(s) for the 12-month period ending October, 31, 2016.

We believe it is important to understand market conditions over the last year to provide a context for reading this report. At the beginning of the 1-year period that began on November 1, 2015, investors were trying to determine what rapidly declining oil prices - which had fallen from over $100 per barrel at the cyclical high to less than half that value by year end - would mean for markets. Adding more uncertainty toward year-end 2015 was the Federal Reserve’s (“Fed”) decision to finally raise the Fed funds rate by 0.25% in December, the first increase since 2006.

As the calendar turned to 2016, rapidly falling energy and commodity prices coupled with a weak U.S. gross domestic product report and weakness in overseas markets pressured U.S. equities, as concerns of a pending recession became more prevalent. In the months to follow however energy prices rebounded and economic growth remained positive thereby avoiding recessionary levels. Global markets sold off in late June following Great Britain’s surprise referendum vote in favor of departure from the European Union, (“Brexit”). Following the immediate negative reaction to this news, U.S. stocks recovered, and equity markets soon reached new all-time highs.

U.S. markets stayed range bound for most of the late summer and into the fall, with only a single bout of meaningful volatility in September when commentary from certain Fed Governors suggested that the case for a September rate hike was strengthening. That volatility proved temporary as September passed with no policy change at the central bank, and markets began to focus on the Fed meeting in December as the next possible target for a hike. The rising likelihood of rate increases resulted in the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield moving higher, and by October 31st had increased to 1.84% from a July low of 1.37%.

For the 1-year period ending October 31, 2016, the S&P 500® returned 4.51% while the MSCI EAFE Index, representing international developed market equities, lost (2.74)%. During the same period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 4.37%. Please keep in mind that it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio as investment returns have historically been difficult to predict.

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

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

Sincerely,

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Early in the period, we experienced the first Federal Reserve (“Fed”) rate hike since 2006, leading to modest loses within investment grade fixed income indices while high yield faced a more challenging environment. After oil prices bottomed in mid-February, capital returned to markets, and riskier assets rebounded strongly. Volatility spiked in conjunction with the U.K. referendum decision to leave the European Union, but ultimately fixed income benchmarks increased year-to-date gains while the S&P 500® hit an all-time high.

After declining through mid-February, U.S. high yield became a sought-after asset. The sector rewarded investors by producing strong and steady gains with minimal volatility. Lower-quality credits and cyclical sectors outperformed as the search for yield pressed onward. For roughly the first half of the period, the U.S. dollar continued to strengthen against most major global currencies. But the Fed struck a more dovish tone early in 2016, contributing to a pause in the dollar bull market. A more stable dollar supported foreign currencies, particularly those in the emerging markets, which suffered during the dollar’s ascent. The recovery in oil prices also helped ease the strain on commodity-related currencies.

Despite a pause in September, global bond performance was strong. Investors continued to buy high-quality bonds despite negative yields. Inflation expectations for developed markets had not risen fast enough to significantly squelch demand for government bonds, even for the lowest-yielding countries.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Bond Class I2 returned 7.80%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government/Credit Index, returned 4.84%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund’s outperformance was primarily due to out-of-benchmark allocations. Exposure to high yield securities, particularly industrial issues, helped buoy performance. Within high-yield industrials, securities in metals/mining and energy were among the largest contributors, appreciating in value along with commodity prices. Among investment grade corporate holdings, financial and industrial names proved helpful, as banking, real estate, energy and communications issues bolstered relative return. Convertible and equity holdings generated positive return as company-specific exposures to energy and metals/mining accounted for the bulk of positive excess return. A small position within high-yield utilities detracted from absolute and relative return; these typically defensive holdings struggled during the risk-on environment.

Government-related issues contributed to relative performance due to security selection. Specific oil-related Yankee bonds — U.S.-dollar-denominated bonds issued by non-U.S. entities — boosted returns. A significant underweight position in the U.S. Treasury sector also aided relative performance.

Overall, non-U.S.-dollar-denominated securities detracted from performance, as uneven economic outlooks and divergent monetary policies across the globe were a driving force for financial markets. The continued strength of the U.S. dollar applied pressure to developed and emerging market currencies. For the Fund, holdings denominated in the Mexican peso and Colombian peso lagged. The Mexican peso hit all-time lows relative to the U.S. dollar during the period. The disappointing results were in sharp contrast to other emerging market currencies, which moved higher with the broader commodity market.

During the period, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions detracted from performance.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Over the fiscal year, there was a convergence of economic growth rates, with the U.S. disappointing forecasters while China and many other emerging markets surprised to the upside. Meanwhile, European gross domestic product growth held up better than expected. Of course, policy is not static, and the U.S. Federal Reserve acknowledged in March the dollar was too strong, so it curtailed the interest rate hike cycle it began in December 2015, allowing the dollar to weaken substantially, helping to avert a recession in the U.S. and spurring a meaningful trough in earnings growth for the S&P 500® in the second quarter of 2016.

Large-cap growth stocks advanced over the period, with telecommunication services the best performing sector in the Russell 1000® Growth Index. Energy and health care posted sharp declines and hence were the greatest relative underperformers.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Capital Growth Class A returned 4.77%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, returned 2.28%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Against the backdrop described above, our team continued to focus on bottom-up stock selection and the long-term outlook for companies owned in the Fund; accordingly, we had little turnover, as our ongoing work reaffirmed our assessment of quality and competitive advantage in the companies we owned.

The Fund outperformed its benchmark largely due to favorable stock selection.

Consumer discretionary was the largest contributor led by online retail and cloud computing leader Amazon.com, Inc. Strong fundamentals, including accelerating revenue growth and improving profitability, buoyed the shares throughout much of the period.

Stock selection in health care also contributed led by Intuitive Surgical, Inc., a leader in robotics-assisted surgery. The company, which had been executing well and experiencing solid procedure growth, also received approval from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for the use of additional functionalities within its second generation robot, the da Vinci Xi. This may help drive additional procedure growth, system upgrades at existing hospitals and system placements at new hospitals over time.

Holdings and sector allocations to consumer staples and financials, along with a lack of exposure in energy, also contributed to a lesser extent. Financial ratings, benchmarks and analytics provider S&P Global, Inc. was the top contributor among these areas. The shares advanced through much of 2016, we believed, due to a generally improving outlook for debt issuance after a period of greater macroeconomic uncertainty earlier.

Within financials, the strength in S&P Global, Inc. was partly offset by weakness in LendingClub Corp. (no longer held at period end), a marketplace which enables consumers to refinance credit card debt. Shares sold off sharply in May on news that the company’s CEO and three other executives resigned after an internal audit uncovered improper allocation of loans to an investor. We eliminated the position due to our assessment of the relative risk/reward profile.

Information technology was the most significant detractor, due to mixed stock selection. Global communications platform Twitter, Inc. was the largest individual detractor for the sector and the Fund overall. The stock was plagued for some time by concerns around user growth, which generally disappointed Street expectations. Management turnover also pressured the stock.

Professional networking platform LinkedIn Corp. (no longer held at period end), was the second largest detractor. Earlier in 2016, the company reported strong quarterly results, but a disappointing outlook characterized by decelerating growth in its Talent Solutions business, macroeconomic-related weakness in its European business and the company’s decision to exit a small business caused the shares to decline sharply. In June, Microsoft Co. (not held) announced it would acquire the company at a 50% premium, which led the shares to recover somewhat. The position was eliminated in September.

Within information technology, weak holdings were partly offset by strength in social networking platform Facebook, Inc., the top contributor. The company was able to sustain high levels of user engagement, grow its large global user base and improve monetization to deliver accelerating revenue growth. Lastly, stock selection in industrials and a lack of exposure to telecommunication services weighed on relative results.

 

The Fund held a small derivatives investment, Over-the-counter puts on the Chinese yuan, which had a negative impact on performance. The puts were designed to provide a potential hedge to equities exposed, directly or indirectly, to China.

During the period, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions detracted from performance.

Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with return on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks may be particularly susceptible to larger price swings or to adverse developments. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.

Transamerica Concentrated Growth

 

 

(unaudited)

 

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Despite volatility from a collapse in crude oil prices, the U.K.’s surprise decision to leave the European Union and a polarizing U.S. presidential campaign, the Fund and the broader equity markets managed to deliver modest gains for the fiscal year. Investors continued to search for leadership beyond central bank stimulus and struggled to calculate risks and opportunities associated with the unusual course of the presidential election. While these events contributed to an elevated period of uncertainty, economic indicators gradually improved, creating a constructive backdrop for stocks. Since the beginning of the calendar year, company fundamentals increasingly became relevant, a trend for which the Fund’s strategy is well positioned.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Concentrated Growth Class I returned 3.87%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, returned 2.28%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund employs a concentrated approach, investing in 25 to 30 stocks, with a long-term orientation, quality focus and valuation discipline. Our investment philosophy is that selective investments in diverse growth businesses with superior operating and financial characteristics generate excess returns with below-market risk. We believe risk is systematically mispriced, and that a focus on low volatility in underlying business fundamentals improves the probability of generating attractive returns over time.

During periods of high volatility and market pullbacks like those experienced during the period, we remain patient and disciplined, and maintain a long-term perspective while acting opportunistically when fundamental dislocations occur. Achieving this balance is at the core of our process and key to investment success.

Top contributors for the period included Medivation, Inc., Facebook, Inc. and Amphenol Corp. Principal detractors were Express Scripts Holding Co. (no longer held at period end), Gilead Sciences, Inc. and BioMarin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Stock selection in health care and information technology sectors had the greatest positive impact on our performance, along with selection in real estate and energy. Overweight positioning in health care and energy and stock selection in industrials and consumer discretionary had the greatest negative impact.

Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks. The Fund may be more concentrated than that of a more diversified fund, subjecting it to greater fluctuation and risk.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Central banks around the world continued to set the pace for equity markets. With more than one third of all sovereign debt ($13 trillion) posting negative yields, the monetary spigots remain wide open, forcing investors to search for yield elsewhere — including equities. For quite some time now, the battle for leadership within domestic equity markets has been raging between stocks perceived as “bond proxies” and those with more interest rate and economic sensitivity. The latter group struggled mightily during the first six months of 2016, but outperformed the bond proxies in the third quarter of 2016 as interest rates rose. The popularity of bond proxies created anomalies throughout equity markets. Momentum stocks, generally thought of as growth stocks with high revenue growth, were disproportionately represented in sectors such as utilities, telecommunication services and consumer staples. On average, these stocks typically grow revenues by approximately 15%; however, with the inclusion of the slower-growing bond proxies, these momentum stocks have experienced negative growth over the past 12 months. A sharp sell-off in these popular sectors — which have acted as investor safe havens given their higher yields — could signal a reversal of investors’ willingness to own yield at any price. A continuation of this trend should benefit the Fund, as we are underweight in these sectors due to their popularity and valuation premium while we have found stocks with strong and growing dividend yields in health care, industrials and financials.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Dividend Focused Class A returned 4.30%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, returned 6.37%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

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

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

The Fund underperformed its value benchmark for the 12 months ending October 31, 2016. The Fund’s underweight in the information technology sector was the largest detractor for the year. Few technology stocks meet the Fund’s 25-year dividend paying history requirement. Allocation in both the utilities and consumer discretionary sectors hurt overall performance as did stock selection in the struggling energy and financial sectors. The five largest detractors from performance for the period were American Express Co., Wells Fargo & Co., Cardinal Health, Inc., Southwest Airlines Co. and ConocoPhillips.

An overweight allocation within telecommunication services was the greatest contributor to performance. Also contributing was stock selection in consumer staples. Performance within health care also positively benefited performance; however, a relative overweight allocation mitigated most of the positive effect. The top five contributing stocks were Honeywell International, Inc., Raytheon Co., Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Medtronic PLC and Entergy Corp.

It is important to note that we have constructed the Fund to have a significant yield advantage over both the broad equity market and the 10-year Treasury — we have simply done so in much cheaper stocks than many of the bond proxies that have been so popular.

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

Focused funds are less diversified than other mutual funds; therefore, the performance of each holding in a focused fund has a greater impact upon the overall portfolio, which increases the risks associated with investing in the Fund. Value investing carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security’s intrinsic value for a long time or that a stock considered undervalued is actually appropriately priced. ADRs involve the same risk as foreign securities including currency fluctuations, adverse social and political developments, and relatively small size and lesser liquidity of the markets. Dividend income may vary depending on market performance and is not guaranteed. A company’s future ability to pay dividends may be limited.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Over the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, equity markets were generally up but had two significant drawdowns. The period started with a decline in oil prices through early 2016. By January 2016, markets grew fearful of a slowing global economy, leading to the first major drawdown of the period. Investors were concerned that a potential hard landing for China’s economy along with the collapse in the U.S. shale oil industry could lead to a global economic slowdown. Equity and energy markets both bottomed in late February. They recovered as the Chinese, U.S. and European central banks stepped in to reassure investors.

Through June, equity markets continued their recovery from the February lows. But while markets were paying attention to economic conditions and the undertakings of central banks, the uncertainty around Great Britain potentially leaving the European Union (“Brexit”) took center stage. The decision to leave took equity markets by surprise, causing the second major drawdown of the period. However, markets rebounded over the next week as central bankers once again offered support to the financial system, and market participants realized that nothing drastic was going to happen in the immediate future.

The last quarter of the period saw the S&P 500® reach record highs in mid-August, while volatility (as measured by the CBOE VIX Index) was near two-year lows; investor confidence was buoyed by a relatively strong U.S. jobs report, and Brexit fears continued to wane. Monetary policy remained at the fore in September, with central banks across the G10 (Group of Ten industrialized nations) leaving rates unchanged. However, there were some rumblings beneath the surface in the U.S., as three Federal Reserve Governors voted to raise rates. Other central banks left their policy rates unchanged in September as global growth remained relatively weak and inflation stayed low. The period ended on a down note, though, with the uncertainty of the U.S. elections overhanging the markets.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Dynamic Allocation Class A returned (0.99)%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the Russell 3000® Index and the Transamerica Dynamic Allocation Blended Benchmark (“Blended Benchmark”), returned 4.24%, and 4.36%, respectively.

The Blended Benchmark is comprised of the Russell 1000® Index (50)%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index ex U.S. (15)%, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (15)%, the MSCI All Country World Index ex-U.S. (10)% and the Russell 2000® Index (10)%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund invests primarily in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that are designed to track various equity and fixed income indices. In addition, we use a combination of risk management strategies that are designed to help protect the Fund from experiencing significant losses in the event of a major decline in equity markets, while allowing it to participate during trending bull markets. In sideways or oscillating markets, the strategy tends to underperform.

One of the risk strategies, Dynamic Risk Management, involves systematically raising the allocation to cash in response to rising volatility and portfolio declines. This strategy seeks to reduce the Fund’s market risk exposure and volatility. Over the one-year period this mechanism was most active during the first quarter 2016, when markets experienced a significant drawdown in reaction to the China slowdown and falling oil prices. The Fund de-risked from fully allocated on December 31, 2015 to 50% allocated as the market bottomed on February 11, 2016. As markets sharply recovered, the Fund gradually re-risked, becoming fully allocated by the end of March. The Fund fully allocated to its strategic targets on October 31, 2016.

The other strategy, Event Risk Management, involves the continuous use of put options on the S&P 500®, via the Western Asset Management Put Strategy, to provide additional protection against a sudden market decline. This strategy seeks to reduce the impact to the Fund if the market declines during a short period of time caused by, for example, sudden and substantial movements in the equity markets, interest rates or credit spreads.

Among the underlying ETF holdings, performance was mixed. The iShares Russell 1000® Value ETF was the best performing, up 6.25%, followed by the iShares Russell 2000® ETF, up 4.38%. The Fund saw negative performance from ETFs no longer held, specifically within international equity. The Western Asset Management Put Strategy was also negative as the S&P 500® was up.

The Fund underperformed its benchmark due to the Dynamic Risk Management and Event Risk Management strategies in a period that saw periods of significant market volatility yet overall positive equity market returns. The relative impacts of the underlying ETF holdings and allocations were mostly muted.

During the year, the Fund used derivatives. These positions detracted from performance.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Dynamic Income Class A returned 7.79%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the iBoxx $ Liquid High Yield Index and the Transamerica Dynamic Income Blended Benchmark (“Blended Benchmark”), returned 8.45% and 6.13%, respectively.

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

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund is designed to generate income across diversified sources with balanced exposure to multiple risk factors over a full market cycle. During the short term, these risk factors can be correlated, but we believe that over a full market cycle having a broad exposure to different risk factors should help mitigate the investor’s drawdown risk.

In a period when both equity and fixed income were positive, all but one of the underlying Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) holdings returns were up. The fixed income component of the Fund outperformed the equity component led by the emerging markets debt and U.S. long-term bond allocations. The VanEck Vectors Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF returned 13.30% followed by the Vanguard Long-Term Bond ETF’s 10.62% gain. Within equity, the iShares Core High Dividend ETF was the best performer at 9.17%, while the Alerian MLP ETF was the sole negative performing holding, returning (0.86)% for the year.

Relative to its Blended Benchmark the Fund outperformed, with positive contributions coming from both the equity and fixed income components. Style selection was the main factor in outperformance, as the Fund’s yield objective led to allocations in non-benchmark tracking asset classes. The biggest contributions to performance came from long-term debt and emerging markets debt, via the Vanguard Long-Term Bond ETF and VanEck Vectors J.P. Morgan EM Local Currency Bond ETF, respectively.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

During the fiscal year, the market witnessed a renewed interest in emerging markets fixed income based on a more stable currency market and a policy mix that has become much more market friendly. Argentinian elections and Brazil’s removal of Dilma Rousseff were pivotal data points for the market as both replacements are focused on much needed structural reform. Changes within those economies, when combined with the ongoing reforms in Indonesia and India, provided a potent mix of positive tailwinds for a market that was lacking direction for much of 2015.

Sovereigns were not alone in realizing the dramatic changes in capital markets and moving to a much more debtor friendly approach to their balance sheets. Corporate management teams across the globe refocused their efforts on reducing leverage and protecting their balance sheets in a much more uncertain world. These influences helped emerging market assets perform very well as commodities stabilized, central banks remained accommodative, and many major emerging market economies were rebalancing at current asset price levels.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Emerging Markets Debt Class A returned 11.86%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global, returned 11.58%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

U.S. dollar sovereigns led the way higher with political transitions fueling outperformance within Brazil and Argentina, while emerging market corporates like Petrobras Global Finance BV and Vale Overseas, Ltd. recovered from a difficult 2015. In local markets, similar macro themes played out, with reform-oriented governments in Indonesia and Brazil outperforming.

The term recovery was probably an adequate description in emerging market assets. Following the underperformance of emerging markets risk in the previous fiscal year, specifically in quality Brazilian corporates as well as almost any local currency asset, the market responded well to a shift in balance sheet management at both macro and micro level. In the hard currency sovereign portion of the Fund, two themes played out. Owning higher yielding securities in areas like Argentinian provincials or outright duration exposure in more commodity-exposed countries such as Kazakhstan or even Indonesia helped returns. Also, commodity price stability led to bounces in Venezuela and sub-Saharan African risk, for example Ivory Coast and Zambia. On the negative side, selling holdings in Ecuador to move into commodity-based corporates hurt performance as those bonds outperformed during the second and third quarters of 2016.

The macro theme of recovery in Brazilian assets helped Petrobras Global Finance BV and Braskem Finance, Ltd. lead the outperformance within the corporate bucket. First Quantum Minerals, Ltd., a Zambian based Copper miner, also performed well, as the company found more sources of liquidity while continuing to expand into lower cost assets. Duration exposure was another plus, with Indonesian quasi-sovereigns outperforming and Grupo Televisa SAB in Mexico catching the Treasury move. On the negative side, Brazil Telecom (no longer held at period end) exposure weighed on returns when the company filed for reorganization earlier in 2016.

After a tough end to 2015, local assets performed well during the first three quarters of 2016. Core positions in longer duration assets in Brazil and Indonesia were the largest contributors. Strategic positions in South Africa and Russia also performed well on the back of political change and a rate cutting cycle by the Central Bank of Russia. Mexico was the largest detractor, as it continued to weaken into the U.S. presidential election.

During the period, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions added to performance.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

While the overall global economy appeared to continue to make slow progress, emerging markets were positive over the last 12 months.

As many expected, economic indicators in China showed signs of a moderate deceleration. China’s economic transition is ongoing, and growth is likely to be nonlinear, as policymakers juggle between stimulus and structural reform. After months of devaluation, the renminbi stabilized. In September, the currency was added to the IMF Special Drawing Rights basket, which should provide further support. For now, it seems as if many of the risks, including lower gross domestic product growth rates, are priced into the Chinese market.

In Brazil, the presidential impeachment saga seemed to be nearing an end. With a new president sworn in, market focus is likely to shift toward the new administration and its ability to deliver on reform promises, though the country’s Supreme Court recently gave prosecutors a green light to preliminarily investigate President Michel Temer’s link to the corruption scandal. Strong market performance in Brazil indicated that much of the good news has been embedded into security prices and, therefore, there is room for disappointment. From an economic perspective, the Brazilian economy shrank for the sixth quarter in a row, but investments grew for the first time since 2013 showing the first signs of a turnaround from one of the country’s deepest recessions in history.

As is almost always the case, even in markets that are facing challenges, there will be individual companies that are thriving, and may very well be great investments now because of the cynicism around their area of the world. Perhaps now more than ever, a focus on good stock selection and solid macroeconomic risk control is critical.

It is our opinion that emerging market equities have been and continue to be an important long-term core investment from a strategic perspective. Timing the correct entry point is difficult, if not impossible.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Emerging Markets Equity Class A returned 4.88%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, returned 9.67%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

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

The Fund underperformed its benchmark for the fiscal year. On a sector basis, holdings in materials and consumer staples weighed the most, while holdings in information technology were the most significant contributors. On a country basis, holdings in Brazil and Turkey were the largest detractors, which were partially offset by positive stock selection in China.

Individual detractors included KIA Motors Corp. (“KIA”), a Korean automaker, and Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd. (“Dongfeng”), a Chinese auto manufacturer. KIA drifted down as sluggish exports, a strong Korean won, and labor strife weighed on the stock, though domestic sales remained robust. Dongfeng’s sales, meanwhile, decelerated in China due in part to weaker sales in its joint venture with Peugeot.

Contributors included Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (“TSMC”), the world’s largest semiconductor foundry, and Tencent Holdings, Ltd. (“Tencent”), China’s largest social media service company. TSMC reported strong profits and revenue driven by higher margins and a recovery in Apple’s iPhone sales. Tencent continued to beat earnings estimates over the year, bolstered by a surge in revenue from mobile gaming, online messaging and online advertising services.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The fiscal year ended October 31, 2016 was not completely unlike any other 12-month period in the post-crisis era. Interest rates and growth remained low, global central banks remained unprecedentedly accommodative, and geopolitical events punctuated the grinding, but still positive, economic improvements.

In December 2015, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) raised its Fed funds rate target for the first time since 2006, taking its first substantive step toward normalizing the stance of monetary policy since ceasing the quantitative easing program in 2014. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) and the Bank of Japan (“BoJ”), meanwhile, continued to provide monetary stimulus during the year. The ECB launched a new corporate bond purchase program in the summer, meant to ease lending conditions in the real economy and boost credit market activity. Late in the summer, the BoJ shifted gears and adopted a new policy target — the 10-year Japanese government bond yield. In both cases, these major central banks continued to innovate their policy toolkits. Much of this innovation can be attributed to a crisis of confidence that spread across global markets in the first quarter of calendar 2016, when global developed sovereign yields turned increasingly negative.

Domestically, the economic environment steadily improved. From the third quarter 2015 to the third quarter 2016, real gross domestic product accelerated from a 2.0% seasonally-adjusted annual rate to 2.9%. The labor market added approximately 2.3 million jobs at an average pace of 196,000 per month while the unemployment rate hovered around the 5% level. Goods and services prices crept higher in aggregate as the Consumer Price Index went from no year-over-year growth in September 2015 to registering 1.46% this September. Crude oil prices remained volatile, swinging from as low as $26/barrel to $51/barrel.

In the U.S. financial markets, interest rates finished the fiscal year lower, while equities and the dollar were stronger. Corporate credit had a good year as total returns improved and spreads tightened markedly. Investors were the most challenged, perhaps, by bouts of volatility as the CBOE VIX Index was elevated around calendar year-end and slowly settled down only to surge again mid-year on the U.K.‘s vote to leave the European Union (“Brexit”).

Geopolitics were a notable headwind for investors, but also a source for opportunity. The conflict in Syria raged on as terror attacks continued in the West — from the Bataclan nightclub in Paris in November to the Brussels airport in March. A July coup attempt in Turkey unsettled markets as well. Amid this chaos, the U.S. was embroiled in a caustic and exhausting election campaign season that culminated in a vote for a new president on November 8, 2015.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Flexible Income Class A returned 4.78%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 4.37%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Strategically, we continued to prefer defensive interest rate positioning into periods of potential volatility. Our emphasis remained on minimizing interest rate volatility risks by focusing on spread products rather than risk-free assets, for example, while using our credit selection expertise to seek excess returns.

Interest rates generally moved lower during the year, and the Fund experienced a drag from yield-curve positioning, mainly due to being underweight duration relative to the Index at the long end of the curve. However, this was somewhat offset by exposure to the belly (middle) of the curve.

Excess carry contributions were the primary performance driver. At the asset class level, the largest contributors were high yield, U.S. Treasuries and agency residential mortgage backed securities. The largest detractors were asset-backed securities and preferreds.

Contributions by rating were bifurcated; the underweight to the highest rating category (AAA) and overweight to the lower-rated (B and CCC) credits contributed the most, while A-rated credits were the primary detractors.

At the corporate sector level, the most positive active return contributions came from energy, capital goods and technology. The largest detractors were consumer non-cyclicals, basic industry and specific areas within the financial sector.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Floating Rate Class A returned 5.50%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index, returned 6.30%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The search for incremental yield in a low-rate world was a fundamental driver of performance for bank loans. Stabilization in the commodity markets and a continued low default environment also attracted investors to the asset class.

Exposures to transportation, service, utilities and media/telecommunications were the largest contributors to performance at the sector level. Metals/minerals, health care and gaming/leisure were the largest detractors.

From the ratings perspective, the biggest contributions were an underweight in BBs and an overweight in Bs. The CCC-or-below category was the largest detractor; securities in that riskier rating class rallied significantly, while the Fund, with a generally more conservative posture, held an underweight exposure.

Even though floating-rate securities can outperform fixed-rate products in a rising-rate environment, we are not anticipating the Fed will accelerate the normalization process. So, a period of low, slowly rising interest rates is likely to persist for some time. But, in as much as rates do track higher, leveraged loan investors could benefit.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The market environment over the past year was supportive for global fixed income investors. Additional global monetary policy easing, with European and Japanese central banks moving deeper into negative territory and the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) remaining extremely cautious in its rate normalization path, kept rates very well supported. In addition, the Fed’s cautious stance was in contradiction with a market that was expecting more tightening and therefore the U.S. dollar weakened against most major currency pairs. The impact of these policies, along with a technically overbought U.S. dollar, saw some dramatic yearly currency moves. For example, the Japanese yen appreciated substantially followed by the next best performing G-10 (group of 10 Industrialized nations) currency the Australian dollar. Underperforming, due to more idiosyncratic factors, were the Mexican peso and the British pound. The Mexican peso suffered due to poor domestic economic performance, increasing political friction, as well as the ascendance of presidential Donald Trump as a nationalist and trade protectionist. The British pound suffered due the British people’s vote to leave the European Union (“Brexit”), which is the United Kingdom’s most significant trading partner. Rates also provided some strong total returns with 10 year bunds and long dated Japanese government bonds rallying over the year.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Global Bond Class A returned 9.73%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Citigroup Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index, returned 7.34%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Over the year, the Fund outperformed its benchmark. The primary driver of returns was the U.S. dollar weakness against most major currencies over the course of the year. The portfolio had an overweight position in Canadian government bonds, New Zealand government debt and U.S. spread sensitive assets like commercial mortgage backed securities. We continued to own fixed income assets that we believe had the potential for further easing or where the yield curve was sufficiently accommodative. The bond positions mentioned above were funded by a dramatic underweight in Japanese government debt. With negative real yields in Japan and uncertain monetary policy we felt the risk/reward for investors in Japanese bonds did not warrant an allocation and as a result, we did not own any. Given the yield advantage and the larger interest rate moves in the markets mentioned above these rate positions added value throughout the year.

Detracting from returns were rate positions in Japan, where in response to additional easing of monetary policies the Japanese government bond market rallied. Brazil and Colombia, wherein rates moved significantly higher as risk reduction within emerging markets fueled capital outflows, also detracted. From a currency perspective the year has been very rewarding. The U.S. dollar sold off post the Fed adopting a slower pace of tightening than originally envisioned. Our out of index exposures in higher real rate countries such as Brazil and Indonesia significantly helped performance.

We believe there are very few attractive real yields globally outside of emerging markets. Within emerging markets, we like Mexican duration but given U.S. election uncertainty, we have refrained from adding until there is better clarity. We also like owning rates in countries where there is downward inflation momentum given years of high real rates and more stable currencies, such as Brazil, Indonesia and Romania.

During the period, the Fund used derivatives. These positions added to performance.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The fiscal year ended October 31, 2016 produced mundane returns for equity investors around the globe, with the MSCI World All Country Index up 2.05%. Equity returns were well below their long-term norms and were merely in line with equity market dividend yields. Companies generally experienced their third consecutive year of virtually no earnings growth as hard-hit sectors like energy offset the more rapidly growing technology and media sectors.

Despite weak earnings growth, equity markets were supported by a declining interest rate environment that helped rate-sensitive sectors such as utilities, consumer staples and real estate, all of which outperformed the broader Index. However, interest rates bottomed in most geographies in the wake of the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union (“Brexit”). Late in the period, interest rate-sensitive sectors began to underperform as bond yields started to increase from their lows in early July.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Global Equity Class A returned (0.09)%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the MSCl All Country World Index Net and MSCI World Index ex-U.S., returned 2.05% and (1.76)%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark due mostly to stock selection in consumer discretionary and utilities. One of our long-standing investment theses has been tourism and travel as one of the few sectors likely to exhibit strong growth characteristics in a slow-growth world. However, fear of the Zika virus and of terrorism weighed on investor sentiment in three of our holdings — Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd., United Continental Holdings, Inc. and Southwest Airlines Co. We believe investor concerns were misplaced. These companies generally delivered earnings in-line with expectations and their underperformance was driven by price to earnings multiples compressing to low levels. We think these three companies have strong fundamentals and that their stock prices should rebound.

The Fund’s largest detractor, Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. in Japan, was forced by a court injunction to delay the re-start of its nuclear reactors. We expect this issue should be resolved shortly, and even without the return of use of those reactors the stock was selling for roughly nine times earnings at period end, less than half the level at which U.S. electric utilities were valued.

Relative contributors were led by the Fund’s holdings in financials and telecommunication services. Reinsurance Group of America, Inc. was our top contributor in financials, while Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corp. led in telecommunications.

On a geographic basis, the Fund’s underexposure to the “commodity countries” of Australia, Brazil and Canada detracted from relative performance. We believe the recoveries in those markets were overdone, and that the more compelling way to capture the potential growth and inflation from easing regulations and higher interest rates would be through financials rather than commodities, where we see abundant supplies limiting recovery in pricing. Relative contributors included our holdings in Germany and Japan.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The investment environment was challenging for the Fund. Low or no growth companies significantly outperformed as a bond investor mentality took hold of the equity market. Much of this development could be traced back to central bank policies around the world.

The U.S. Federal Reserve took a longer-than-expected pause in the current hiking cycle, causing Treasury yields to move lower. Perhaps the more dramatic moves came from the European Central Bank (“ECB”) and the Bank of Japan (“BoJ”). The ECB increased the size of its quantitative easing program and moved deeper into negative rates, while the BoJ surprised the market by following the ECB move to negative rates. These policies forced traditional bond investors into the equity market, bringing with them a low appetite for uncertainty. Due to central bank policies, dividends and certainty of cash flows had more influence on stock performance over revenue and earnings growth.

PERFORMANCE

For the period ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Global Long/Short Equity Class A returned (8.80)%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Dollar 3-Month LIBOR Average Index, returned 0.58%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund’s investment strategy is to purchase securities that the sub-adviser believes are undervalued and sell short securities that the sub-adviser believes are overvalued. As mentioned above, this approach was not rewarded as investors sought the safety of cash over growth and positive change.

As a result, the Fund underperformed its benchmark. Factors important to the Fund’s success, including momentum and earnings yield were not rewarded. Dividend yield, as a standalone factor, had historically provided little in terms of excess return, yet, as a factor, deviated tremendously from its long-term norms and hurt the Fund’s results.

The Fund’s underperformance was across most geographies and sectors as macro flows were much more important than company-specific fundamentals over this period.

From a country perspective, the biggest detractors came from the U.S., Japan and Italy. From a sector perspective, the biggest detractors of performance were in consumer discretionary, financials and utilities.

In terms of individual contributors, the Fund’s long position in Agnico-Eagle Mines, Ltd. and Newfield Exploration Co. were the two largest. Top detractors were ITV PLC and Mediobanca SpA.

During the period, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions detracted from performance.

The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading, resulting in short-term capital gains or losses that could increase an investor’s tax liability. In general shorting a security may have a higher potential loss of capital. Long/short strategies may present the opportunity for significant losses. Such strategies have the potential for heightened volatility and, in general, are not suitable for all investors.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Numerous factors contributed to market volatility in the 12-month period: decelerating economic growth in China, concerns that emerging economies might face balance sheet risks, the negative effect of lower energy prices on industrial sectors, fears of slowing economic growth in the U.S., uncertainty about the course of future U.S. Federal Reserve monetary tightening, the U.K.’s vote to leave the European Union, and anxiety about the highly-unconventional U.S. presidential election.

Risk aversion in this volatile global market environment affected how investors valued different securities. Low-volatility, high dividend-paying “safety” stocks were significant drivers of market returns. Stocks of higher-growth companies generally underperformed.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Growth Class I2 returned (1.13)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, returned 2.28%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Investor risk aversion hurt higher-growth (therefore higher-valuation stocks). Health care stocks faced the additional headwind of growing concerns about drug pricing. Companies that sell innovative, high-priced drugs sold off, among them Fund holdings Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (eye diseases, high cholesterol), Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (blood and metabolic disorders) and Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (cystic fibrosis). We believe that the long-term fundamentals of the Fund’s biotechnology positions remain intact and that valuations underestimate the potential of pipeline drugs. Health care companies in which acquired growth plays a greater role, such as Allergan PLC, declined as regulatory changes threatened to remove many of the tax benefits of mergers between U.S. and offshore companies.

In consumer discretionary, NIKE, Inc. declined on inventory overhang, declining average selling prices and increased competition. Amazon.com, Inc., another sector holding, benefited from continued strong execution, margin expansion, and development of a meaningfully important business opportunity in cloud infrastructure. The company continued to invest to drive unit growth in its core retail business and through the proliferation of digital commerce via the mobile market. In consumer staples, deflationary grocery prices hindered supermarket chain Kroger Co.’s (no longer held at period end) growth.

Information technology positions were solid positive contributors to performance. Facebook, Inc. rose on impressive revenue and margins, accelerating advertising revenue growth, and strong user growth and engagement. As the company solidified its dominant position, it continued to increase its appeal to users and advertisers. Long-term growth drivers include Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger. Tencent Holdings, Ltd., China’s largest and most-visited internet service portal, continued to perform well fundamentally, driven by its dominant position in China’s online gaming and instant messaging markets and its growing advertising and payment service efforts.

Other technology contributors included NVIDIA Corp. The company’s revenue, gross margin, and earnings exceeded forecasts. The company has transformed itself from a personal-computer-centric graphics provider to a company focused on key high-growth markets, where we believe it can leverage its graphics expertise to offer high-value-added solutions: gaming (where it has dominant market share), automotive, high-performance computing and cloud and enterprise. Alibaba Group Holding, Ltd. reported better-than-expected revenue, earnings, user metrics, gross merchandise value, monetization revenue, and margins. We believe Alibaba Group Holding, Ltd., with its dominant market share, offers an attractive opportunity to invest in the long-term growth of the Chinese e-commerce market. Adobe Systems, Inc. benefited from strong revenue and earnings. Best known for its Photoshop photo-editing tool and the PDF and Flash platforms, the company is transitioning its current installed base from a perpetual license model to a subscription model.

In financials, S&P Global, Inc.’s solid fundamentals reflect significant barriers to entry and substantial recurring revenue. The company provides credit ratings, benchmarks and analytics for the global capital and commodities markets.

In real estate, broadcast and wireless tower operator American Tower Corp. benefited from several long-term drivers of tower industry growth, including the expansion of mobile data, household migration to wireless-only service, high barriers to entry, pricing power, low maintenance expenses, international expansion opportunities, and largely predictable business models with high earnings margins. As a real estate investment trust, the company pays out most of pre-tax profits to shareholders, making it particularly attractive in an environment that favored dividend-paying stocks.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The fiscal year ended October 31, 2016 was not completely unlike any other 12-month period in the post-crisis era. Interest rates and growth remained low, global central banks stayed unprecedentedly accommodative, and geopolitical events punctuated the grinding, but still positive, economic improvements.

In December 2015, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) raised its Fed funds rate target for the first time since 2006, taking its first substantive step toward normalizing the stance of monetary policy since ceasing the quantitative easing program in 2014. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) and the Bank of Japan (“BoJ”), meanwhile, continued to provide monetary stimulus during the year. The ECB launched a new corporate bond purchase program in the summer, meant to ease lending conditions in the real economy and boost credit market activity. Late in the summer, the BoJ shifted gears and adopted a new policy target — the 10-year Japanese government bond yield. In both cases, these major central banks continued to innovate their policy toolkits. Much of this innovation was attributed to a crisis of confidence that spread across global markets in the first quarter of 2016, when global developed sovereign yields turned increasingly negative.

Domestically, the economic environment steadily improved. Year over year, real gross domestic product accelerated from a 2.0% seasonally-adjusted annual rate to 2.9% in the third quarter. The labor market added approximately 2.3 million jobs at an average pace of 196,000 per month while the unemployment rate hovered around the 5% level. Goods and services prices crept higher in aggregate as the Consumer Price Index went from no growth in September 2015 to registering 1.46% in September 2016. Crude oil prices remained volatile, swinging from as low as $26/barrel to $51/barrel.

In the U.S. financial markets, interest rates finished the fiscal year lower, while equities and the dollar were stronger. Corporate credit had a good year as total returns improved and spreads tightened markedly. Investors were the most challenged, perhaps, by bouts of volatility as the CBOE VIX Index was elevated around calendar year-end and slowly settled down only to surge again mid-year on the U.K.‘s vote to leave the European Union (“Brexit”).

Geopolitics were a notable headwind for investors, but also a source for opportunity. The conflict in Syria raged on as terror attacks continued in the West — from the Bataclan nightclub in Paris last November to the Brussels airport in March. A July coup attempt in Turkey unsettled markets as well. Amid this chaos, the U.S. was embroiled in a caustic and exhausting election campaign season that culminated in a vote for a new president on November 8, 2015.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica High Yield Bond Class A returned 6.95%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High-Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index, returned 10.16%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

This was a strong period for high yield market technicals with supportive supply and demand dynamics along with steady inflows into the asset class.

At the ratings level, security selection was the most significant performance driver, with B and CCC and below-rated credits detracting the most from performance. Allocation decisions to different ratings were also a detractor, but being underweight BBs was a contributor in the period. In sum, however, it was B-rated credits that detracted the most.

Looking at industry allocations, the metals/mining and independent energy sectors were the most significant detractors. These were partially offset by positive contributions from positions in retail, consumer cyclical services and media/entertainment. On a security selection basis, electric utilities, health care and retail were the biggest detractors, while building materials, metals/mining and U.S. banking provided some positive offsets. Across both the selection and allocation measures, the consumer non-cyclicals, electric and energy sectors were the largest detractors. Capital goods and communications were the largest contributors.

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

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

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Municipals continued to reward investors with relatively steady performance during the fiscal year, which was marked by periodic high volatility and low interest rates. Throughout the period, we saw a flatter yield curve, as risk compensation hovered around 2008 lows indicating a discounted threat of inflation. An unexpected result of the U.K. referendum to leave the European Union (“Brexit”) sent 10-Year Treasuries to a low of 1.36% in July. This led many investors to believe the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) would not raise the Fed funds rate due to the fallout from Brexit. Heading towards the end of the third quarter of 2016, the municipal curve steepened as heavy supply and positive economic data was released. The front end cheapened substantially as one-year municipals on a relative basis yielded about 110% of Treasuries making them attractive, in our view.

We saw a record supply during the period, as municipalities took advantage of refinancing and sought to bring deals to market before rates rise. Total municipal supply was up 11% at period end. Issuance in October was the highest in 30 years at $54 billion, reflecting issuers pricing deals ahead of the U.S. presidential election. Because of the heavy supply, munis exhibited compelling value according to our analysis. Supply and demand dynamics supported muni pricing throughout the fiscal year. Taxes are high and munis are the only tax-exempt asset class available, which we believe should support demand.

In all market environments, we remain selective in the credits we purchase. We have focused on security section, sector selection and credit research to reinforce performance. The Fund has taken advantage of dislocated maturity bands by reoffering many positions in the secondary market for opportunistic trades. At times, the Fund may be overweight or underweight specific maturities, states or issuers due to market conditions.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Transamerica High Yield Muni Class A returned 6.72%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index, returned 8.61%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

We have generally preferred higher quality credits. Credit spreads remained historically tight, and the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Index carried a lower rating at B1/B2. The Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Municipal Index Yields versus Investment Grade Municipal Index Yields tightened over 100 basis points during the last quarter of the fiscal year. Our underweight duration positioning and higher credit quality were factors that led to the Fund’s underperformance. Our holdings of insured bonds did not fully capture the credit tightening throughout the High Yield Index. With that said, we focused on selling weaker credits at attractive levels and picking yields in other quality names.

During the last year, the Fund was overweight California and Illinois, which contributed to performance. California’s high tax rates continue to support strong in-state demand. Demand combined with the state’s dynamic and powerful economy, the sixth largest economy globally, continued to offer what we believed to be many attractive investment opportunities. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Illinois offered compelling value in higher yields due in part to pension shortfalls and budget concerns. We believe Illinois will have the political resolve necessary to make revenue adjustments. State weightings are constantly being re-evaluated as the market evolves and are dependent on where we can find value along the curve.

Tobacco bonds were one of the top performing sectors led by Ohio Buckeye Tobacco Settlement Financing Authority, Revenue Bonds, as lower quality credit spreads remained tight. We also saw strong performance from longer-dated, multifamily-housing projects.

Municipal bond prices can rise or fall depending on interest rates. Interest rates may go up, causing the value of the Fund’s investments to decline. All municipal bonds carry credit risk that the issuer will default or be unable to make timely payments of interest and principal. Generally, lower rated bonds carry more credit risk. High-yield bond (junk bonds) funds may be subject to greater volatility and risks as the income derived from these securities is not guaranteed and may be unpredictable and the value of these securities tends to decline when interest rates increases. The Fund is classified as “non-diversified,” which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. To the extent the Fund invests its assets in fewer issuers, the Fund will be more susceptible to negative events.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Global markets reflected a series of dramatic changes in sentiment over the 12 months ending October 31, 2016. While U.S. and foreign stocks generally moved together, domestic stocks outperformed for the seventh consecutive fiscal year. Stocks fell sharply early in the period, as oil prices continued their decline and U.S. bond yields moved abruptly lower. Worries about the health of the global economy generally, and renewed concerns over the U.S. labor market in particular, were among the factors pressuring stocks early in the period.

In February, however, stocks, commodity prices (including oil) and bond yields bottomed. U.S. and global equity markets rallied through early June before a sharp, but brief sell-off in the wake of Great Britain’s vote to leave the European Union (“Brexit”). Global equities moved higher again, reaching their peak for the year in late summer/early fall.

Traditional high-yielding equities, including utilities and consumer staples, were among the best performing stocks in the first half of the fiscal year. This was particularly the case in the U.S. where the telecommunication services and utilities sectors outperformed the broader market by a wide margin. This enthusiasm for so-called defensive names likely reflected concerns over domestic and global economic activity, as well as the ongoing profits recession in the U.S. In the second half, investors shifted away from defensive sectors, as technology stocks were by far the best performers and the winning sectors from the first half lagged far behind.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Income & Growth Class A returned 2.89%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the MSCl All Country World Index Gross, returned 2.64%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing globally in a range of securities, primarily equities with market capitalization in excess of $750 million, which provide current income combined with the potential for capital appreciation.

The Fund outperformed its benchmark over the fiscal year led by its holdings and overweight in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Holdings in consumer staples and telecommunication services also contributed. Relative detractors were led by the Fund’s holdings and overweight in energy.

Given their significant appreciation, REITs were reduced by approximately half later in the period. We also reduced our holdings in telecommunications due to valuation concerns. We added to health care and technology companies, which offered slightly lower yields than our typical investments, but we believed these high-quality companies offered attractive valuations and growth profiles.

Individual contributors were led by consumer staples holdings Marine Harvest ASA and Thai Beverage PCL. Marine Harvest ASA is a Norwegian-based integrated fish producer, raising primarily Atlantic salmon. Thai Beverage PCL produces and distributes a wide range of beer and spirits in Southeast Asia. Both companies are dominant players in their respective markets, and continued to offer attractive prospects for organic growth, in our view.

Ship Finance International, Ltd. (no longer held at period end), a large ship-owning company with investments in several categories of ocean-faring vessels and oil rigs, was the Fund’s largest individual detractor followed by Blackstone Group, LP (no longer held at period end), one of the world’s largest financial services providers.

Regionally, the U.S. was the greatest contributor due to solid performance from U.S. stocks. Western Europe was the greatest detractor from returns, largely due to negative returns from U.K. stocks.

REITs are subject to a number of highly technical tax-related rules and requirements; and the failure to qualify as a REIT could result in corporate-level taxation, significantly reducing the return on an investment to the Fund. Investments in MLPs involve risks that differ from investments in corporate issuers, including risks related to limited control, cash flow risks, dilution risks and risks related to the general partner’s right to require unitholders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price. ADRs involve the same risk as foreign securities including currency fluctuations, adverse social and political developments, and relatively small size and lesser liquidity of the markets. Dividend income may vary depending on market performance and is not guaranteed. A company’s future ability to pay dividends may be limited. Investments in global/international markets involve risks not associated with U.S. markets, such as currency fluctuations, adverse social and political developments, and the relatively small size and lesser liquidity of the markets. Investing in high-yield securities may be subject to greater volatility and risks as the income derived from these securities is not guaranteed and may be unpredictable and the value of these securities tends to decline when interest rates increases.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

In the first three months of the period, global inflation continued a decline from the previous year, as oil prices still struggled under supply and demand concerns and following the December rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”). The Bank of Japan rate cut in late January and the European Central Bank announcement of additional stimulus in early February helped stabilize oil prices and inflation expectations by mid-February. The Fed’s March reduction of forecasted rate hikes cleared the way for a rally in oil prices, which boosted inflation expectations and risk asset prices across the globe. That rally stalled in June, when a stunningly weak U.S. jobs report early in the month raised doubts as to the prospects for U.S. domestic inflationary pressure.

The pullback in oil prices and inflation expectation was driven further by the decision in June of the U.K. to leave the European Union (“Brexit”). U.K. linkers rallied tremendously in the two months following Brexit, aided by declining gilt yields, a weaker pound and expectation of increased Bank of England stimulus. Improving economic conditions and an uptick in inflation across the developed markets saw nominal rates increase faster than breakeven rates, weighing on inflation protected securities, during the last few weeks of the period.

The credit sector outperformed the Treasury sector, as the relative dovishness of central banks and marginally improving economic indicators supported spread assets. Commodity-related issuers outperformed, spurred by a stabilization and appreciation of commodity prices and a correction from the underperofmance during the previous 12 months. Financials lagged industrials, as low and negative rates continued to weigh on profit margins and specific banks dealt with idiosyncratic events, weighing on the broader sector.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Inflation Opportunities Class A returned 4.39%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Inflation-Linked Bond Index, returned 2.88%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

With foreign exchange markets volatile during the period, our decision to reduce foreign exchange risk contributed to performance. The biggest contributor was our underweight in the pound, which suffered considerably from the Brexit referendum in late June. The Fund’s underweight in euro also contributed to performance, but was offset by a negative contribution from our underweight in the yen.

Short-duration positioning hurt performance versus the benchmark, as rates globally declined. The Fund’s short duration at the long end of the U.K. curve was the biggest drag on performance, as Gilt yields declined substantially following Brexit. Our short duration exposures along both U.S. and European curves also detracted from performance.

The Fund’s opportunistic credit allocation contributed to excess returns versus the benchmark. The greatest contribution came from exposure to commodity-related issuers, particularly energy-related names, as the sector benefited from increasing oil prices. The Fund also maintained an overweight exposure in financials, which although they lagged industrials, contributed to outperformance versus the benchmark. We have maintained an overweight in financials due to attractive valuations, solid balance sheets, low event risk and strong liquidity. In addition, any increase in the likelihood of a Fed rate hike should support the sector due to the prospect of greater profitability. Security selection within the core allocation detracted from performance, led by our underweight in Japanese inflation-linked bonds and underweight in short-dated U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities.

During the period, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions detracted from performance.

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Intermediate Muni Class A returned 4.58%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Managed Money Intermediate (1-17 Year) Index, returned 3.60%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

We continued to maintain an emphasis to higher quality municipal debt. The Fund’s longer duration contributed to outperformance, as municipals rallied and longer bonds outperformed for most of the year. We remained nimble during the low-rate environment by looking to take advantage of market inefficiencies and a tactical approach to the yield curve. In the normal course of business, the Fund makes many of its positions available for opportunistic trading with an emphasis on active management and achieving total return.

During the last year, the Fund was overweight California and Illinois, which contributed to outperformance. California’s high tax rates continue to support strong in-state demand. Demand combined with the state’s dynamic and powerful economy, the sixth largest economy globally, continued to offer what we believed to be many attractive investment opportunities. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Illinois offered compelling value in higher yields due in part to pension shortfalls and budget concerns. We believe Illinois will have the political resolve necessary to make revenue adjustments. State weightings are constantly being re-evaluated as the market evolves and are dependent on where we can find value along the curve.

General obligation debt and higher education-related securities were the top sector contributors; we continued to focus on the smaller deals that provided more attractive value. At the issuer level, Chicago O’Hare International Airport, Revenue Bonds and Golden State Tobacco Securitization Corp., Revenue Bonds were the top performers, as credit compression benefited these holdings in trading tighter. We saw some underperformance in “pollution control” bonds, but overall this exposure was negligible. We sold our position before spreads decompressed. Low coupon bonds on the long-end cheapened as the curve steepened into the close of the fiscal year.

Transamerica International Equity

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Geopolitical and macroeconomic issues buffeted equity markets in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016. Commodity price movements and several key elections with global implications contributed to uncertainty regarding future earnings prospects, particularly for multinational businesses. The MSCI EAFE Index finished down (2.74)%.

Valuations have provided a smaller margin of safety, making the market more vulnerable to negative news, in our view. Continued divergence in monetary policies and regional economic forecasts further underscore the need for disciplined stock selection. The MSCI EAFE Index was trading at 8.6 times cash flow and 14.5 times earnings expected over the next 12 months as of October 31, 2016. We believe Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC’s valuation discipline and focus on fundamentals will be rewarded in this market environment.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica International Equity Class I returned (2.46)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, returned (2.74)%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund outperformed its benchmark primarily due to strong stock selection in consumer staples and Japan, which offset the negative effects of underweighting the energy and real estate sectors.

Coca-Cola East Japan Co., Ltd. led our consumer staples holdings, as shares of the bottling company rallied on news it would be merging with Coca-Cola West Japan Co., Ltd. FamilyMart UNY Holdings Co., Ltd. (formerly known as FamilyMart Co., Ltd.) was also a strong performer. The convenience store franchise chain merged with grocery store UNY Group Holdings Co., Ltd. The combined entity had a well-received announcement regarding store closures and other reorganization measures related to the merger.

Our financial holdings were also key contributors. Challenger, Ltd. was the top performer in the group. The investment management firm reported strong life annuity sales in its fiscal year results. The momentum of the firm’s fundamentals suggested that 2017 results may be better than previously expected.

In energy, crude oil prices closed the fiscal year roughly flat, but intermittent volatility resulted in substantial share price movements across the group. Eni SpA was the sole individual underperformer in the sector. The integrated oil giant reported suboptimal financial results in the first half the year and slow progress on asset disposals as the company continued to transform into a less complex, more upstream-focused business. Additionally, Eni SpA is exposed to the Italian banking system, which has been pressured while undergoing reforms.

Among real estate holdings, Savills PLC, a real estate services provider, and British Land Co. PLC, a real estate investment trust, are two London-based holdings that underperformed due to negative sentiment associated with the U.K.‘s referendum vote to leave the European Union.

In addition to Coca-Cola East Japan Co., Ltd. and FamilyMart UNY Holdings Co., Ltd., Japan-based holdings electronics multinational Sony Corp., specialty chemical company Kuraray Co., Ltd. and technology investment holding company SoftBank Group Corp. were strong performers.

Our holdings in Europe were the largest regional detractor, with Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. as a significant laggard. The company’s shares declined after the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board invalidated patents on the company’s multiple sclerosis medication Copaxone, opening the door for generic competitors.

The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Geopolitical and macroeconomic issues buffeted equity markets in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016. Global small caps rallied and retrenched several times during the year. Ultimately, the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index Gross closed the fiscal year up 3.35%, well ahead of large cap peers.

Valuations have risen over the last several years, making the market more vulnerable to negative news. Continued divergence in monetary policies and regional economic forecasts further underscore the need for disciplined stock selection. The MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index was trading at 10 times cash flow and 15.3 times earnings expected over the next 12 months at period end. We believe our valuation discipline and focus on fundamentals will be rewarded in this market environment.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica International Small Cap Value Class I returned (2.48)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index Gross, returned 3.35%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its benchmark as negative stock selection in industrials and Japan more than offset the positive effect of our overweight in the consumer staples sector and holdings in information technology.

In industrials, companies related to logistics and transportation were the top detractors. Shares of Japanese logistics company Kintetsu World Express, Inc. tumbled after it announced higher-than-expected integration costs from a recent acquisition. Another detractor, CTT- Correios de Portugal SA (no longer held at period end), the national postal service of Portugal, missed earnings estimates several quarters in a row over the last 12 months. Northgate PLC, the largest commercial vehicle rental provider in the U.K., also saw shares drop sharply after reporting in line earnings just days after the June referendum to leave the European Union. Analysts feared that the cyclical car industry would not be able to withstand a recession but shares rebounded after published reports touted Northgate PLC’s balance sheet strength.

Financials was another sector in which the Fund lost ground. The primary detractor was Swiss asset manager GAM Holdings AG (no longer held at period end), which struggled as poor investment performance weighed on its earnings. Management also lowered profit guidance in August, putting additional pressure on the shares.

Among contributors, bottling company Coca-Cola East Japan Co., Ltd. rallied on news the company would be merging with Coca-Cola West Japan Co.

In technology, stock selection was broadly favorable, led by Eugene Technology Co., Ltd. the Korean semiconductor manufacturing equipment company’s shares rose 70% after reporting strong growth in key divisions. Demand for production capability of 3D NAND chips, a new development with the capability to triple the capacity of memory chips skyrocketed and became a promising growth driver.

Among regions, Japan was the primary detractor. Stock selection was mainly impacted by companies whose business prospects were disadvantaged by the strengthening yen. Kintetsu World Express, Inc. (logistics) and Kumiai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. were prime examples; they derive substantial revenue from overseas business and were among the Fund’s worst performers. Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. was another significant detractor. The business front-loaded maintenance costs ahead of the deregulation of the Japanese electric power industry, resulting in earnings below expectations. The company’s foreign assets were also negatively impacted by the currency movement.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

U.S. equity markets achieved their eighth consecutive annual gain, with the Russell 1000® Value Index up 6.37% for the year ended October 31, 2016. The driving factors that we believe are behind these persistent gains have remained fairly constant, namely accommodative policies by the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) and other central banks around the world, a corresponding very low interest rate environment, low consumer price inflation, and moderate but relatively steady growth in overall U.S. economic activity.

Some concerns to us are the continued tepid industrial economy in the U.S., the sustainability of the economic policies of the central banks and governments of China, Japan and the European Union, and the outlook for inflation and interest rates. Investors anticipate that the Fed may resume raising interest rates as soon as December, which could potentially lead to headwinds for stocks. However, should interest rates rise substantially, we believe equities may be perceived to be a better investment opportunity than bonds and therefore possess a positive bias for further advancement.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Large Cap Value Class A returned 9.83%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, returned 6.37%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

We pursue an intensive fundamental research strategy to identify individual investment ideas using a bottom-up stock selection process. Our strategy primarily emphasizes companies that we believe possess leading competitive positions, strong balance sheets, healthy free cash flows that investor-oriented managements will use to enhance shareholder value, and prospects for catalysts that can propel stock prices higher in the near-to-intermediate term. Additionally, as contrarian investors, we typically seek companies that are down in price or have significantly underperformed the market averages, thus avoiding momentum plays.

The Fund substantially outperformed its benchmark during the 12-month period. Our strong outperformance during this period came primarily from stock selection but also benefited from sector weighting.

The top two contributors to performance were specialty glass manufacturer Corning, Inc. and semiconductor equipment company Applied Materials, Inc. Corning, Inc. was purchased when its valuation was depressed due in part to soft demand and pricing for display glass. The stock price rebounded as demand and pricing firmed and the company used its substantial free-cash generation for an aggressive share repurchase program. Late in the fiscal year, we exited the position as we felt it no longer had a compelling valuation. Applied Materials, Inc. stock was purchased for its attractive valuation, strong cash generation and expectations of a favorable multi-year product cycle, cost cutting and new product introductions. As the stock appreciated, we reduced the position, but still saw further upside as the story continued to play out.

Among the top detractors was domestic energy producer and pipeline company Williams Cos., Inc. In mid-2015, Williams Cos., Inc. received an attractive acquisition offer from Energy Transfer Equity, LP. However, both stocks subsequently sold off sharply as oil and gas prices fell and credit markets deteriorated. We sold the Williams Cos., Inc. position when doubts arose as to whether the acquisition would be consummated, which eventually it was not.

In general, corporate profitability and cash generation are strong for many companies, and we continue to find attractive investment ideas that can deliver superior relative performance.

Transamerica Mid Cap Growth

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Growth in the U.S. for the first half of 2016 was at best moderate, but appeared to increase during the third quarter. Consumer spending, which continued to be the largest contributor to economic gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth, increased along with tightening in the labor market over the fiscal year. There was some increase in household wealth. Both wage growth and employment increased but at a moderate pace. Capital spending continued to be challenged due to the slower pace of global growth. U.S. GDP growth suffered as a result of the large reduction in capital expenditures within the energy sector due to rebalancing global energy markets. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) held a number of meetings to address the imbalance within the energy sector of available supply and on-going demand. Some of these discussions included potential production cuts by member countries, but no solid action occurred. With energy-related activity a material component, the level of industrial production remained weak.

Globally, developed world economies continued to pursue accommodative monetary policies while emerging economies, which in general have growth rates greater than mature economies, continued to slow. Global economic growth remains uncertain and subject to a number of policy and macro issues. While there are growth opportunities as a result of the low level of interest rates and increased levels of liquidity, uncertainties remained due to a new U.S. president and unknown potential policy actions.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Mid Cap Growth Class A returned 0.62%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Growth Index, returned 0.40%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Stock selection in the energy, health care, materials, consumer staples and financials sectors positively impacted relative performance, partially offset by negative stock selection in the consumer discretionary, industrials and technology sectors. Sector allocation also contributed, led by an overweight position in technology and an underweight in consumer discretionary, while an overweight health care weighed moderately.

Top contributors to performance included Whitewave Foods Co. (no longer held at period end), B/E Aerospace, Inc., F5 Networks, Inc., EQT Corp. (no longer held at period end) and Micron Technology, Inc. In consumer discretionary, Whitewave Foods Co. reported a strong first quarter and raised guidance for the year. The company continued to have one of the strongest growth profiles among the food stocks, which as a group was very strong due to strong investor demand for low-volatility industry groups and merger and acquisition activity.

In the industrials sector, B/E Aerospace, Inc. continued to benefit from a combination of strong order backlog for new commercial airplanes combined with robust demand for after-market retrofits of existing aircraft. This backdrop allowed the company to report second quarter earnings that exceeded expectations, driving its stock higher.

In the information technology sector, F5 Networks, Inc. posted a good fourth quarter 2015, and investors began to look forward to a refresh of the company’s product portfolio in second quarter 2016. Historically, new product cycles have driven accelerating revenue growth for F5.

In the energy sector, EQT Corp. performed very well in the first half of 2016 after a very difficult 2015. Sentiment in oil and gas is the primary driver, and we think EQT Corp. is a very well positioned company. In the information technology sector, Micron Technology, Inc. is a leading provider of memory semiconductors. The Fund used weakness in the stock to initiate a position at a valuation near book value, which has historically been an attractive entry point. The stock performed well since purchase as memory prices firmed.

Top detractors included Acadia Healthcare Co., Inc., Signet Jewelers, Ltd., BorgWarner, Inc. (no longer held at period end), JetBlue Airways Corp. and Mylan NV. In health care, we established a position in Acadia Healthcare Co., Inc., a leader in behavioral health services such as psychological care and addiction treatment. We believe antitrust concerns associated with the company’s recent acquisition of a large U.K.-based behavioral practice created an attractive entry point. Behavioral health is an underserved market with significant secular tailwinds, including a more conducive funding environment.

In consumer discretionary, Signet Jewelers, Ltd.’s stock continued to be weak, especially after disappointing second quarter results and reduced fiscal year 2017 same-store sales guidance. However, the company announced that Leonard Green Partners, a retail-focused private equity firm, took an approximate 10 percent stake. We continued to view the company’s valuation as attractive. Also in consumer discretionary, BorgWarner, Inc. was hit by a number of negative items, including poor communication and guidance, slowing auto production in China and the Volkswagen emissions scandal.

In the industrials sector, JetBlue Airways Corp. reported a solid third quarter and, more importantly, had positive commentary regarding unit revenue outlook for the coming quarter. Unit revenue trends are the single largest factor holding back valuations for airlines broadly. In health care, Mylan NV’s stock was weak during first quarter 2016 due to a poor environment for pharmaceutical and biotechnology stocks as well as an announced acquisition of Meda AB, as investors questioned the significant premium paid to acquire the company. We continued to view Mylan NV’s stock as attractively valued.

Quantum Capital Management’s research team is continually evaluating companies with an emphasis on defining a path toward value creation, productive uses of capital, niche leaders and favorable industry macro factors. Security selection includes internally generated valuations with stock-specific catalysts.

Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks. Investing in small and medium-sized companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with more established companies. The securities of small and mid-capitalization companies are subject to higher volatility than larger, more established companies.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

U.S. equity markets were driven by the fragile economic recovery coupled with investor concerns about the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (“Fed”) debate on the appropriate timing of an interest rate hike and the contentious presidential election. Global issues further exacerbated the situation with the unexpected outcome of Great Britain’s vote to leave the European Union (“Brexit”) in June and continued concerns of the global impact from slowing growth in China. Despite a noisy macroeconomic backdrop, equity valuations remained high and the Russell Midcap® Value Index posted a robust 7.84% return for the fiscal year.

Valuations have risen significantly over the last three years, making the market more vulnerable to negative news like a more hawkish Fed and difficulties in emerging markets. The markets continue to be driven significantly by headline noise and the global market outlook. A number of themes played out at different times throughout the year, perhaps most notably the search for yield in the current low interest rate environment. We believe our valuation discipline and focus on fundamentals will be rewarded in this market environment.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Mid Cap Value Opportunities Class A returned 7.72%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index, returned 7.84%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Though the Fund underperformed the benchmark slightly, the majority of the nine Russell economic sectors generated positive relative returns. The utilities sector was the top contributor. Most of our utilities stocks contributed positively, given that investors were attracted to the consistent earnings growth and dividends provided by the group. Our stock selection was the biggest driver, as we benefited from the buyout of Talen Energy Corp., an independent electrical power producer, as well as double-digit returns in a variety of other electricity, natural gas and water utility providers. The financial services sector was also a top contributor on both stock selection and underweight positioning. Our top performing stocks were mortgage real estate investment trust (“REIT”) Annaly Capital Management, Inc., as well as several property and casualty insurers. Within financial services, we continued to be underweight both banks and REITs due to a lack of positive catalysts and good risk-reward potential.

The consumer discretionary and materials & processing sectors were the largest detractors from relative return. In consumer discretionary Fossil Group, Inc., a watchmaker, and Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc., a home goods retailer, had the largest negative impact. Both companies are facing slowing demand in their respective markets and increasingly competitive environments. In materials/processing, the negative relative return was primarily a function of being underweight a sector that outperformed significantly, and we had no exposure to the rally in gold, steel and copper.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

After a tumultuous start to the fiscal year and an equally acute recovery, the Master Limited Partnerships (“MLP”) market began to stabilize in light of the recent decoupling of MLP and crude oil prices. The oil price crash and the capital markets freeze of 2015 and early 2016 distorted the stability of most MLP assets. Since then, MLPs have prudently managed their businesses by lowering costs and reducing capital expenditure budgets where appropriate, all of which have largely shielded MLPs from volatile oil price swings. The market appeared to be more comfortable with the volatility in crude prices, a sign that investors are beginning to understand that crude oil is the least important commodity for MLPs and instead appeared more focused on large yields and stabilizing outlooks.

While performance for the broader MLP market was modestly negative for the fiscal year, results were driven more by company-specific fundamentals and less by macro sentiment. Low-yield, high-growth companies generally underperformed as the “risk-on” trade appeared back in vogue. The end of the fiscal year was very significant for many large-cap MLPs, as top performers were the beneficiaries of attractive valuations and positive announcements. These announcements combined with better and more consistent than expected earnings results and stable-to-rising distributions were supportive of the sector. Additionally, the tone from management teams was less cautious than earlier in the year as MLPs continued to prudently manage their businesses by lowering costs and reducing capital expenditure budgets where appropriate.

Equity and debt capital markets were trending significantly below issuance levels prior to the downturn, but capital access improved substantially relative to late 2015 and early 2016. Merger and acquisition activity also remained encouraging; MLPs have clearly realized that mergers and acquisitions may be necessary to backfill growth as the environment for new pipeline construction is becoming increasingly challenging.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica MLP & Energy Income Class A returned (0.87)%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the S&P 500® and the Transamerica MLP & Energy Income Blended Benchmark (“Blended Benchmark”), returned 4.51% and 2.93%, respectively.

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

STRATEGY REVIEW

While company fundamentals remained strong, we continued to manage cash levels prudently in order to manage fund flows and invest capital opportunistically. Performance dispersion among MLP sub-sectors was broadly distributed during the fiscal year. While upstream, variable pay and shipping/offshore MLPs posted the worst sub-sector returns, the best relative performance was delivered by the coal, gathering/processing, and gas transportation/storage sub-sectors. Fund performance was most aided by underweighting higher-volatility securities in gathering/processing and shipping/offshore services, while it was most challenged by its general partner and midstream C-Corp holdings.

In terms of individual contributors and detractors from performance, the largest contributors to performance were equity investments in ONEOK Partners, LP and Spectra Energy Corp. ONEOK Partner, LP continued to deliver strong performance despite a challenging commodity price environment, as the company benefited from strong drilling activity in Oklahoma. Spectra Energy Corp. rallied on the announcement of a $30 billion merger with Enbridge, Inc. that created the largest energy infrastructure company in North America at a combined enterprise value of $127 billion.

The largest individual detractors were Williams Cos., Inc. and Kinder Morgan, Inc. Williams Cos., Inc. suffered as a result of a failed merger attempt with Energy Transfer Partners, LP and resulting board member fallout that was further exacerbated by Enterprise Products Partners, LP’s subsequent withdrawal of its indication of interest regarding a potential merger. Kinder Morgan, Inc. lagged primarily from the lowering of its 2016 earnings guidance that is expected to slow their process to deliver its balance sheet and improve cash flow.

The Fund used derivatives only in a covered call writing strategy with the aim of generating additional income and potentially reducing portfolio-level volatility. They contributed positively to the Fund’s return during the period.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Predictable was hardly a word to describe the fiscal year. For most of it, the market struggled to post durable gains due to three overhanging factors: the U.S. presidential elections, the U.K.‘s vote to leave the European Union (“Brexit”) and the expectation of a U.S. Federal Reserve’s (“Fed”) potential rate increase. Furthermore, the sluggish gross domestic product growth of below three percentage points was not enough to propel the broader market out of its flattish range. A combination of low energy prices and U.S. dollar strength contributed to weak corporate profit growth and even declines in some sectors. Low interest rates drove expansion in equity market valuations overall, but corporate earnings growth will be needed from here to deliver continued positive results.

Certain sectors benefited more than others from low interest rates. With bond yields at historic lows and significant market volatility at the beginning of 2016, investors flocked to defensive sectors such as consumer staples, utilities and telecom, in a quest for yield. Other investors, anxious about the anemic growth profit afflicting most domestic companies, looked to companies with high growth rates, often with a disregard for their low profitability or high valuation.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Multi-Cap Growth Class A returned (12.04)%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 3000® Growth Index, returned 2.08%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its benchmark due to unfavorable stock selection, particularly in health care. Drug pricing and high-profile misbehavior by a few firms brought unwanted focus on the entire pharmaceutical and biotechnology sub-sector. This coincided with rising health-care costs and insurance premiums and uncertainty over the U.S. government’s priorities to exasperate sentiment. Record levels in negative sentiment translated in decade-low multiples. We continued to favor the sub-sector over those with less of a moat, for example device companies that are more vulnerable to competition and hospitals, which generally have high fixed costs and may be exposed to greater bad debt expense in the immediate future.

Consumer discretionary represented another detractor, specifically Tractor Supply Co., Lowe’s Cos., Inc. and Monro Muffler Brake, Inc. We continued to avoid apparel retailers, which has served the Fund well, but underestimated consumer reticence to spend in certain areas.

Information technology and industrials were the top contributors to relative return. While our technology holdings lagged the strong sector performance driven by high-growth, high-valuation stocks, they nonetheless contributed positively. We believe Apple. Inc., MasterCard, Inc., Alphabet, Inc. and Intuit, Inc. all embody good growth prospects at a reasonable valuation.

In industrials, Cummins, Inc. and Union Pacific Corp. posted strong recoveries after having lost favor in 2015. Indirect exposure to oil and a stronger dollar prompted the initial downturn that was greatly overdone, in our view. Focusing on a company’s inherent value regardless of short-term stock price gyrations was important during periods of heightened volatility and risk aversion.

During the period, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions added to performance.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC

The fiscal year ended October 31, 2016 was not completely unlike any other 12-month period in the post-crisis era. Interest rates and growth remained low, global central banks stayed unprecedentedly accommodative, and geopolitical events punctuated the grinding, but still positive, economic improvements.

In December 2015, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) raised its Fed funds rate target for the first time since 2006, taking its first substantive step toward normalizing the stance of monetary policy since ceasing the quantitative easing program in 2014. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) and the Bank of Japan (“BoJ”), meanwhile, continued to provide monetary stimulus during the period. The ECB launched a new corporate bond purchase program in the summer, meant to ease lending conditions in the real economy and boost credit market activity. Late in the summer, the BoJ shifted gears and adopted a new policy target — the 10-year Japanese government bond yield. In both cases, these major central banks continued to innovate their policy toolkits. Much of this innovation was attributed to a crisis of confidence that spread across global markets in the first quarter of 2016, when global developed sovereign yields turned increasingly negative.

Domestically, the economic environment steadily improved. Year over year, real gross domestic product accelerated from a 2.0% seasonally-adjusted annual rate to 2.9% in the third quarter. The labor market added approximately 2.3 million jobs at an average pace of 196,000 per month while the unemployment rate hovered around the 5% level. Goods and services prices crept higher in aggregate as the Consumer Price Index went from no growth in September 2015 to registering 1.46% in September 2016. Crude oil prices remained volatile, swinging from as low as $26/barrel to $51/barrel.

In the U.S. financial markets, interest rates finished the fiscal year lower, while equities and the dollar were stronger. Corporate credit had a good year as total returns improved and spreads tightened markedly. Investors were the most challenged, perhaps, by bouts of volatility as the CBOE Volatility Index was elevated around calendar year-end and slowly settled down only to surge again mid-year on the U.K.‘s vote to leave the European Union (“Brexit”).

Geopolitics were a notable headwind for investors, but also a source for opportunity. The conflict in Syria raged on as terror attacks continued in the West — from the Bataclan nightclub in Paris last November to the Brussels airport in March. A July coup attempt in Turkey unsettled markets as well. Amid this chaos, the U.S. was embroiled in a caustic and exhausting election campaign season that culminated in a vote for a new president on November 8, 2015.

J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.

At the beginning of the fiscal year, in November 2015, U.S. equity markets experienced the same volatility faced earlier in that year as global growth concerns re-surfaced on news of weak industrial activity in China. The strong U.S. dollar also contributed to volatility as the U.S. currency was boosted by rising expectations that the Fed would raise interest rates that December. The major nemeses of equity markets for 2015 — falling oil prices and continued strength in the U.S. dollar — would just not go away.

During the first six weeks of 2016, investor concerns about a potential U.S. recession and continued volatility in commodity prices drove equity markets lower. Additionally, headwinds surrounding global growth and anticipation of continued oil oversupply caused Brent to reach new multiyear lows as the price per barrel fell below $30. These trends began to reverse, as markets cheered the continued weakness in the U.S. dollar and interpreted hawkish Fed signals to indicate that the U.S. economy was strong enough to endure the normalization of monetary policy. However, market optimism soon evaporated in mid-June. Growing support for Brexit began to surface and led to broadly sharper volatility, with markets selling off widely in the two days following the referendum.

Investors quickly cast aside Brexit-related fears during the last four months of the fiscal year as the S&P 500® reached an all-time high during August. Despite a minor pullback in September, the index enjoyed a gain of 3.85% during the third quarter of 2016. Notably, market leadership began to reverse, as returns were most robust for the technology, financials and media sectors while utilities and telecommunication services were among the biggest laggards. Federal funds futures rates exhibited relatively pronounced volatility during the quarter, as heightened anticipation for a September rate hike quickly evaporated while the likelihood of a December increase firmed.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Multi-Managed Balanced Class A returned 3.57%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the S&P 500® and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 4.51% and 4.37%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC

Strategically, we continued to prefer defensive interest rate positioning into periods of potential volatility. The emphasis remained on minimizing interest rate volatility risks by focusing on spread products, rather than U.S. Treasuries, for example, and using credit selection expertise rather than taking on above-benchmark duration risk.

Interest rates generally moved lower during the year and the Fund experienced a drag from yield curve positioning, mainly due to being underweight duration relative to the index at the long end of the curve. However, the sub-adviser’s strategic short duration bias paid off at the front-end of the curve.

In the trailing 12-months to October 31, 2016, carry and credit spread compression were the primary performance drivers. At the asset class level, excess performance due to security selection primarily came from U.S. Treasuries and high yield. This was somewhat offset by negative selection contributions from the investment grade sector. Allocation decisions also produced outperformance, with the largest contributions coming from investment grade credit, U.S. Treasuries and agency residential mortgage backed securities. By allocation, high yield, non-agency mortgage-backed securities and asset backed securities agency were the detractors.

Fund performance was generally led by lower rated credits. The portfolio’s high yield allocation (i.e., securities rated BB and below) drove its largest component of excess return by rating, while the portfolio’s selection in BBB rated securities was the largest detractor; though the overweight to lower-quality securities relative to what was in the benchmark added to overall performance through excess carry.

J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.

The Fund modestly underperformed its benchmark during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2016. The technology, media and utilities sectors added value while the pharmaceutical/medical technology, financials and industrial cyclical sectors detracted from returns.

Within the media space, an underweight position in Walt Disney, Co. contributed to returns. Shares declined in the fourth quarter of 2015 amid a broader media selloff and concerns that television subscriber losses may be worse than expected. Additionally, downward pressures on travel demand due to the Zika scare drove shares lower over the past few months. Although we find the company’s valuation relative to its peers to be unattractive, we have recently become slightly less negative on Walt Disney, Co. as its multiple and consensus estimates have come down. Within the semiconductors sector, owning Broadcom Corp. was also a top contributor as the merger between Broadcom Corp. and Avago Technologies, Ltd. was finalized in the first half of the portfolio’s fiscal year, which may be accretive in the short- and long-term. We continue to have conviction in our position due to the company’s diversified end-markets, strong operating expense controls and access to key growth markets.

On the negative side, in media, owning Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. weighed on returns during the fourth quarter of 2015 as media stocks broadly sold off due to cord-cutting concerns. Recently, owning Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. detracted as higher investments in programming and below-the-line items weighed on profits. We remain positive on the company but believe a smaller bet size is warranted given the lack of visible catalysts for the coming year. In retail, an underweight position in Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. weighed on returns as shares rallied in the second quarter of 2016. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. posted better-than-expected same-store sales growth and forward guidance was also increased. Despite its efforts to invest in labor productivity and digital sales, we believe that the company remains structurally challenged and opportunities for growth will be hard to come by.

During the year, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions positively added to performance.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The fiscal year ended October 31, 2016 was not completely unlike any other 12-month period in the post-crisis era. Interest rates and growth remained low, global central banks stayed unprecedentedly accommodative, and geopolitical events punctuated the grinding, but still positive, economic improvements.

In December, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) raised its Fed funds rate target for the first time since 2006, taking its first substantive step toward normalizing the stance of monetary policy since ceasing the quantitative easing program in 2014. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) and the Bank of Japan (“BoJ”), meanwhile, continued to provide monetary stimulus during the period. The ECB launched a new corporate bond purchase program in the summer, meant to ease lending conditions in the real economy and boost credit market activity. Late in the summer, the BoJ shifted gears and adopted a new policy target — the 10-year Japanese government bond yield. In both cases, these major central banks continued to innovate their policy toolkits. Much of this innovation was attributed to a crisis of confidence that spread across global markets in the first quarter of 2016, when global developed sovereign yields turned increasingly negative.

Domestically, the economic environment steadily improved. Year over year, real gross domestic product accelerated from a 2.0% seasonally-adjusted annual rate to 2.9% in the third quarter. The labor market added approximately 2.3 million jobs at an average pace of 196,000 per month while the unemployment rate hovered around the 5% level. Goods and services prices crept higher in aggregate as the Consumer Price Index went from no growth in September 2015 to registering 1.46% in September 2016. Crude oil prices remained volatile, swinging from as low as $26/barrel to $51/barrel.

In the U.S. financial markets, interest rates finished the fiscal year lower, while equities and the dollar were stronger. Corporate credit had a good year as total returns improved and spreads tightened markedly. Investors were the most challenged, perhaps, by bouts of volatility as the CBOE VIX Index was elevated around calendar year-end and slowly settled down only to surge again mid-year on the U.K.‘s vote to leave the European Union (“Brexit”).

Geopolitics were a notable headwind for investors, but also a source for opportunity. The conflict in Syria raged on as terror attacks continued in the West — from the Bataclan nightclub in Paris last November to the Brussels airport in March. A July coup attempt in Turkey unsettled markets as well. Amid this chaos, the U.S. was embroiled in a caustic and exhausting election campaign season that culminated in a vote for a new president on November 8.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Short-Term Bond Class I2 returned 2.81%. By comparison, its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate & Government 1-3 Years Index, returned 1.30%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Strategically, we continued to prefer defensive interest rate positioning into periods of potential volatility. The emphasis remained on spread products and using credit selection expertise rather than taking on duration risk.

During the period, coupons contributed the most to performance. Interest rates generally moved lower, but toward the end of the fiscal year, one-month and three-month Libor rates started to trend higher as the likelihood of a Fed rate hike in December 2016 increased.

At the asset class level, allocation decisions in high yield, investment grade and U.S Treasuries were the largest contributors. These were offset by cash holdings and emerging markets. The U.S. banking and basic industry sectors contributed most to active returns, while service sector detracted. By rating, the largest contributions came from BBB-, B-, and CCC-rated holdings. These were somewhat offset by BB-rated securities. Based on security selection, the largest contributions came from higher-rated credits, specifically BBB, A and AAA.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The slow but steady U.S. economic expansion continued and emerging markets, particularly China, seemed to find somewhat of a footing in terms of both improving underlying economics as well as equity market performance. This backdrop allowed domestic equity markets to grind higher over the period, although not without considerable volatility in the interim.

Small cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index, ended the fiscal year up a little over 4%, which was perhaps a better result than it first appears considering that the index experienced some volatility in early 2016. Volatility, as is often the case, was episodic and seemed to center primarily around investor concerns surrounding government and central bank policies.

From an equity style perspective, small cap investors went back and forth in their preference for “value” and “growth” stocks for much of the period. For the time frame as a whole, “value” stocks outperformed in keeping with longer term historical precedent. This reversed the trend that had been in place for the last several years and provided a tailwind for the Fund.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Small Cap Core Class A returned 5.01%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index, returned 4.11%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Academic and empirical research has shown the existence of a number of market anomalies that can be profitably exploited by a disciplined approach to security selection and portfolio construction. The Fund tends to maintain economically meaningful exposures to the factors which our research has shown to be indicative of prospective outperformance.

The Fund outperformed its benchmark led by positive stock selection 8 of the 11 economic sectors. Sector allocation detracted from relative results during the period primarily due to our overweight in energy and underweight in utilities.

The energy sector’s lackluster results were a reflection of the difficulties brought on by lower oil prices. Utilities’ outperformance was driven by investors’ search for yield in a world of near zero interest rates.

Our health care holdings added the most to relative performance. The Fund’s substantial underweight to the biotechnology industry was a primary driver; these issues within the benchmark collectively lost approximately 25 percent. An analysis of the characteristics of our holdings in the health care sector relative to the biotechnology stocks in the benchmark as of September 30, 2016 showed that the Fund’s holdings were more profitable, traded at a lower valuation and earned superior returns on capital.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The fiscal year was a market roller coaster. A bullish end to calendar year 2015 was followed by a deep correction during the first six weeks of 2016. Since the market low on February 11, 2016, smaller, lower quality (non-earning) stocks led the market. By market cap, the smallest quintile of stocks generated returns of over 43 percent between February 11, 2016 and September 30, 2016. Similarly, stocks with the lowest returns on equity, stocks without earnings, and the fastest growers all outperformed during this timeframe. For the entire fiscal year ended October 31, higher quality stocks, as measured by companies with earnings, outperformed.

While we had viewed small-cap valuations as relatively full, we were able to take advantage of heightened market volatility. We believed market volatility benefited the Fund for two reasons. First, volatility caused excessive moves in stock prices, which provided us with an attractive entry point for stocks on the team’s watch list that were previously considered to be too expensive. Second, in times when volatility was significant enough to lead to a market decline, we were able to outperform on a relative basis the majority of the time due to the Fund’s high-quality profile.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Small Cap Growth Class A returned 3.42%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Growth Index, returned (0.49)%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund outperformed its benchmark, as it benefited from higher market volatility and the Fund’s high-quality factors performing better.

From a sector perspective, health care, financial services and technology provided the strongest relative outperformance. Detractors included the consumer discretionary and materials and processing sectors.

MarketAxess Holdings, Inc. (no longer held at period end), the leading electronic corporate bond trading platform, was the largest individual contributor. The company consistently reported financial results that were higher than market expectations, underscoring the company’s competitive position and operating momentum. This position was sold based on our valuation discipline and the market capitalization limit for the Fund.

G-III Apparel Group, Ltd., a specialty designer and manufacturer of women’s and men’s apparel under licensed brands, was the largest individual detractor. We believe there were two primary reasons for the weakness. First, the historically warm winter weather pressured sales that carried over into much of 2016. Second, the company announced the dilutive acquisition of Donna Karan International, Inc. from LVMH Moet Hennessey Louis Vuitton S.E.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

U.S. small cap equities spent over half of the fiscal year in negative territory. It was not until the last four months that stocks turned positive, allowing the Russell 2000® Index to finish with approximately a four percent return. January was a negative period for returns with higher than normal volatility. However, in mid-February small-cap stocks rallied from the February lows to highs in September before easing during October.

In the small stock universe, there was a large spread between value and growth indexes during the fiscal year, with the Russell 2000® Value Index returning approximately nine percent versus the Russell 2000® Growth Index return of negative half of one percent. While returns for the fiscal year were positive, the Fund’s benchmark index, the Russell 2000® Value, was flat compared to its highs in June, 2015. Finally, the U.K. vote to leave the European Union (“Brexit”) news, while causing some volatility, did not have a material performance impact.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Small Cap Value Class A returned (2.76)%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index, returned 8.81%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its benchmark in a challenging period for relative performance. A number of factors were at work beneath the surface that negatively impacted our performance. Many fundamental drivers of stock performance that are positive over long periods of time were perverse during the period. For example, stocks with strong price momentum tend to outperform over time, yet this factor detracted from performance. Likewise, companies that are more profitable than their peers underperformed. In total, these fundamental factors accounted for half of our relative underperformance. The other half was due to stock-specific performance.

Our weakest sector for stock selection was information technology. Three companies (Ixia, Ciena Corp. and Mentor Graphics, Inc., which are no longer held at period end) fell primarily due to either earnings guidance or poor results. These stocks illustrated a phenomenon that characterized small caps this year; companies missing earnings expectations were punished by investors. This was also apparent in the consumer discretionary sector, which was our second weakest, led by poor performance from Kirkland’s, Inc. (no longer held at period end) and 1-800-Flowers.com, Inc. (no longer held at period end).

Our strongest sector was real estate, where strong performers came from the data center or industrial property area, including DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. (no longer held at period end), DCT Industrial Trust, Inc. and First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. Another area of positive stock selection was utilities, led by Black Hills Corp. and ONE Gas, Inc. These stocks were attractive to investors looking for yield and relative stability.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Stocks were resilient during fiscal 2016, allowing the Fund to record a moderate gain even as investors dealt with myriad macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges. Weakness in emerging markets and commodity prices early in 2016 and the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union (“Brexit”) led to precipitous but temporary market declines as investors weighed their potential effects on profits. Both market corrections gave way to even stronger market rallies, but the Fund’s gains were pared again late in the period by investor uncertainty about the U.S. presidential election. The Fund’s underweights to companies with high dividends and low volatility were a headwind, as these types of stocks did well amid fearful sentiment.

The Fund advanced as the economy exhibited staying power during the fiscal year. The ongoing economic expansion, which is now in its eighth year, actually picked up momentum. Waning macroeconomic headwinds and improving energy markets due to some recovery in crude oil prices were positive contributors to economic growth. Investors also took relief from the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (“Fed”) decision to maintain its accommodative monetary policy.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Small/Mid Cap Value Class A returned 4.69%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index, returned 7.78%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its benchmark. Investors favored stocks with high dividend yields and low perceived volatility due to the persistent low interest rate environment, which hampered our earnings- and cash flow-focused approach. Asset flows also continued to funnel into passive products offering investors exposure to these factors, further constraining relative performance. Some of the flows started to reverse course, however, later in the period as interest rates bounced higher following Brexit.

From an attribution standpoint, stock selection detracted from relative performance, primarily in the industrial and financial sectors. In financials, the Fund’s underweight in interest rate-sensitive real estate investment trusts, which in September became part of the new S&P GICS Real Estate sector. The Fund benefited from strong stock selection in the energy sector. It rotated out of commodity-sensitive exploration and production companies as crude oil prices bottomed early in the fiscal year, and then rotated back in as oil markets recovered.

Sector allocation was also a headwind due to overweights in health care and consumer discretionary and an underweight in utilities. The latter sector benefited from low interest rates, which spurred investors’ increased appetite for yield-oriented investments. Contributors included an overweight in information technology.

The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of the Fund will decline. Small capitalization companies may have less experienced management, unpredictable earnings growth, and limited product lines, which can cause their share prices to fluctuate more than those of larger firms. Value investing carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security’s intrinsic value for a long time or that a stock considered undervalued. The prices of securities the sub-adviser believes are undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated or may go down.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Volatility continued to be the key theme for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, initially sparked by the first Federal Reserve (“Fed”) rate hike in nearly 10 years. Shortly thereafter, in the beginning of 2016, oil prices continued to slide on fears of oversupply dragging the entire commodity space lower. Risk markets did not react kindly, leading to (10.26)% losses in the S&P 500® by February 11th while high yield credit lost (5.14)% in the same period. The markets however recovered quickly as oil prices rallied sharply, Great Britain’s vote to leave the European Union (“Brexit”) was largely ignored and the Fed initiated no further rate hikes citing international risks. The market interpreted these developments with a goldilocks view, once again sounding the all clear to buy risk assets. For the fiscal year, despite steep losses early on, high yield returned an impressive 10.17% compared to 4.51% for the S&P 500®.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Strategic High Income Class A returned 3.88%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the S&P 500® and the Transamerica Strategic High Income Blended Benchmark (“Blended Benchmark”), returned 4.51% and 6.32%, respectively.

The Blended Benchmark is comprised of S&P 500® (60)% and the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield BB/B Rated Constrained Index (40)%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The volatility in late 2015 and early 2016 presented many opportunities for the Fund, particularly in high yield as oil prices fell. For the fiscal year high yield was the strongest performing asset class within the Fund. Bank lines were extended as oil prices trended higher after reaching a low in January. This resulted in default rates remaining low which benefited the whole high yield sector. As interest rates fell throughout the year preferred stocks became less attractive versus high yield credit, so we reduced our preferred equity exposure while finding better relative value in the high yield space.

In equities, security selection within producer durables and consumer staples contributed the most to return for the period. The best individual contributors to total return for the portfolio were QUALCOMM, Inc., which regained market share in smartphones and announced a large merger with NXP Semiconductors NV (no longer held at period end) and Cisco Systems, Inc, which beat market earnings estimates and announced a seven percent reduction in its workforce.

The largest detractor from performance for the period was poor stock selection in technology and health care. Individually, Gilead Sciences, Inc. was the largest detractor from absolute performance as the company has been unable to increase revenue or find a large acquisition opportunity. Ameriprise Financial, Inc. declined due to weakness in its variable annuity business and on fears of the impact of a new Department of Labor ruling on its business.

In credit, the Fund’s allocation to high yield was the largest contributor to return. Technology credits in Dell, Inc. (no longer held at period end) and Western Digital Corp., along with Olin Corp. (no longer held at period end), a diversified chemicals company, were the biggest contributors to performance. All three companies issued debt to fund acquisitions. The largest detractors from performance were Viking Cruises, Ltd. (no longer held at period end), which experienced significant fundamental deterioration following terrorist attacks across Europe, and SESI LLC, an oilfield services company with operations in the Gulf of Mexico.

The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of the Fund will decline. Fixed income investing is subject to credit risk, inflation risk, and interest rate risk. Investing in high-yield securities may be subject to greater volatility and risks as the income derived from these securities is not guaranteed and may be unpredictable and the value of these securities tends to decline when interest rates increases. Preferred stock tends to vary more with fluctuations in the underlying common stock and less with fluctuations in interest rates and tends to exhibit greater volatility.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Credit spreads came under pressure in the fourth quarter of 2015. The December 4 meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) ended without any agreement to restrain production. On the back of this news, U.S. crude oil futures prices declined, reaching levels not seen since the 2008-2009 financial crisis or earlier. Commodities-fueled turmoil spilled over into unrelated sectors as negative investor sentiment translated into outflows from mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The timing of these events coincided with a rapidly evolving U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) and a seasonal decline in broker-dealer inventories, further exaggerating price action in the market.

Oil and other commodity prices continued to trade lower during the first six weeks of 2016 amid what was perceived to be a hawkish Fed tone against a backdrop of slowing global growth and inflation. However, credit spreads narrowed as the central bank of China assuaged concerns of a large yuan devaluation, fears surrounding European bank stability subsided and U.S. economic data came in moderately encouraging. The rally continued from February into summer amid a more dovish stance from the Fed and expanded monetary policy measures from the European Central Bank, which exceeded investors’ consensus expectations. Oil and other commodity prices climbed higher as did investors’ inflation expectations. Retail fund flows poured back into mutual funds and ETFs, providing for a supportive technical backdrop for the market.

The four-month rally in credit spreads took a pause in June as the U.K. surprised markets with a vote to leave the European Union. The vote raised the prospect of sustained anxiety in the global economy and global growth concerns resurfaced. The impact was most pronounced in the two trading sessions immediately following the referendum, as investors saw an uptick in volatility, a sharp decline in risk assets and a record low in the pound. However, in subsequent trading sessions risk assets rallied as investors realized that whatever this regional crisis held in store for global growth, it would likely be more than fully offset by incremental monetary accommodation, as the global central bank narrative would assuredly turn more dovish.

There was a notable pause in the middle part of September as Fed-rate-hike anxiety came to the forefront of investors’ minds. However, the Bank of Japan’s yield cap and a lower trajectory of the median Fed dot plot assured that a very accommodative central bank policy backdrop would remain intact for the foreseeable future. Further supporting risk assets was an unexpected agreement in principle by OPEC to cut production after November’s meeting.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Unconstrained Bond Class I returned 4.86%. By comparison, its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Dollar 3-Month LIBOR Average Index, returned 0.61%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund benefited from strong asset allocation, which more than offset the impact of security selection and a hedged duration profile each of which detracted slightly from performance. In asset allocation, each of the fixed income segments held contributed positively to performance. The allocation to high-yield bonds was the largest contributor. High yield benefited from stabilization in the commodities, renewed fund flows into mutual funds and ETFs and lower new issuance levels. Allocations to bank loans, European Contingent Convertible Securities and U.S. intermediate investment grade credit also contributed meaningfully.

Security selection on balance detracted slightly from performance. During the year, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions detracted from performance.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

U.S. equities rose in the fiscal year, as measured by the S&P 500®, notwithstanding significant volatility. The period started with a November that finished relatively flat but data releases continued to paint a promising picture for the U.S. economy. As widely expected, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) delivered its first rate hike since 2006 in December. The S&P 500® finished the last two months of 2015 slightly down, then plunged during a risk-off environment and moved in virtual lockstep with the price of oil, as fears of a recession and weakness in China weighed on investors’ minds. However, equities reversed and surged in late February and March as solid economic data, a stabilization in oil prices and accommodative commentary from the Fed helped to calm the market’s early-year jitters.

Stocks continued to rise through the second quarter, despite the unexpected result of the U.K. referendum to leave the European Union (“Brexit”), which caused equities to sell off, only to recover a couple of days later. U.S. equities gained in the third quarter, in particular during July, following a solid start to the corporate earnings season and encouraging housing and employment data releases. Stocks were essentially flat in August and September as investors remained focused on the Fed’s actions, specifically on the timing of the next rate hike. Tepid economic data and valuation concerns contributed to increased volatility in September and stock prices dipped in October as U.S. election jitters took center stage. Returns varied by market-cap, as mid- and large-cap stocks, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400® and S&P 500® respectively, outperformed small-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica US Growth Class A returned (0.95)%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, returned 2.28%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

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

During the period, stock selection within the health care, information technology and financial sectors detracted from relative performance. This was partially offset by favorable stock selection within the energy, consumer discretionary and industrial sectors. Sector allocation, a result of the bottom-up stock selection process, also detracted from relative performance. The Fund’s marginal overweight allocation in the energy sector, and lack of exposure to the telecommunication services sector detracted most. An underweight allocation to health care and lack of exposure to real estate partially offset negative returns.

The Fund’s largest relative detractors included Allergan PLC, a pharmaceutical company; Herc Holdings, Inc. (formerly Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.), an equipment rental company; and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company. We eliminated our position in Herc Holdings.

The largest relative contributors during the period included Valspar Corp., a manufacturer of paint and coatings; Netflix, Inc., a subscription service television and movie provider; and Wynn Resorts, Ltd., a casino resort operator and developer. Not holding Walt Disney, Co. also aided relative performance. We eliminated our positions in Valspar Corp. and Wynn Resorts, Ltd.

Understanding Your Funds’ Expenses

 

 

(unaudited)

 

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

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

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

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2016, and held for the entire period until October 31, 2016.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

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

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

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

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

(C)  Expense ratios are based on the most recent six-months; the percentage may differ from the expense ratio displayed in the Financial Highlights which covers a twelve-month period.

 

(D)  Expense ratios (as disclosed in the table) do not include the expenses of the investment companies and/or ETFs in which the Funds invest. The annualized expense ratios, as stated in the fee table of the Prospectus, may differ from the expense ratios disclosed in this report.

 

(E)  Class commenced operations on September 30, 2016. Actual expenses are calculated using each Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (31 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days). For comparability purposes, hypothetical expenses assume that the Funds were in operation for the entire six-month period ended October 31, 2016. Thus, the hypothetical expenses are calculated using the Funds’ annualized expense ratios (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days).

 

(F)  Class commenced operations on July 25, 2016. Actual expenses are calculated using each Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (98 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days). For comparability purposes, hypothetical expenses assume that the Funds were in operation for the entire six-month period ended October 31, 2016. Thus, the hypothetical expenses are calculated using the Funds’ annualized expense ratios (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days).

 

(G)  Rounds to less than 0.01% or (0.01)%.

§ Average Maturity is computed by weighting the maturity of each security in the Fund by the market value of the security, then averaging these weighted figures.

 

Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder.

 

Credit quality represents a percentage of net assets at the end of the reporting period. Ratings BBB or higher are considered investment grade. Not rated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be equivalent of investment grade. The table reflects Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) ratings; percentages may include investments not rated by S&P but rated by Moody’s, or if unrated by Moody’s, by Fitch ratings, and then included in the closest equivalent S&P rating. Credit ratings are subject to change. The Fund itself has not been rated by an independent agency.

 

* Percentage rounds to less than 0.1% or (0.1)%.

 

^ The Net Other Assets (Liabilities) category may include, but is not limited to, reverse repurchase agreements, forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts, swap agreements, written options and swaptions, and cash collateral.

Each proposed reorganization is subject to target fund shareholder approval and other closing conditions. The target funds would receive newly-issued Class R, Class R4 or Class I3 shares, as applicable, in the reorganization.

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

Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) serves as investment manager for the Funds. TAM provides continuous and regular investment management services to the Funds. TAM supervises each Fund’s investments, conducts its investment program and provides supervisory, compliance and administrative services to the Funds.

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 a Fund without the use of a sub-adviser. When acting as a manager of managers, TAM provides investment management services that include, without limitation, the design and development of the Funds and their investment strategies and the ongoing review and evaluation of those investment strategies including recommending changes in strategy where it believes appropriate or advisable; the selection of one or more sub-advisers for the Funds 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 and evaluation of sub-adviser performance; daily monitoring of the sub-advisers’ buying and selling of securities for the Funds; regular review of 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 Board, participation in these meetings and preparation of regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation, and review, of prospectuses, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and 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 management services. TAM, not the Funds, is responsible for paying the sub-advisers for their services, and sub-advisory fees are TAM’s expense.

Effective March 1, 2016, TAM’s investment management services also include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to the Funds. These services include performing certain administrative services for the Funds and supervising and overseeing the administrative, clerical, recordkeeping and bookkeeping services provided to the Funds by State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), to whom TAM has outsourced the provision of certain services as described below; to the extent agreed upon by TAM and the Funds from time to time, monitoring and verifying the custodian’s daily calculation of Net Asset Values (“NAV”); shareholder relations functions; compliance services; valuation services; assisting in due diligence and in oversight and monitoring of certain activities of sub-advisers and certain aspects of fund investments; assisting with fund combinations and liquidations; oversight of the preparation and filing, and review, of all returns and reports, in connection with federal, state and local taxes; oversight and review of regulatory reporting; supervising and coordinating the Funds’ custodian and dividend disbursing agent and monitoring their services to the Funds; assisting the Funds in preparing reports to shareholders; acting as liaison with the Funds’ independent public accountants and providing, upon request, analyses, fiscal year summaries and other audit related services; assisting in the preparation of agendas and supporting documents for and minutes of meetings of trustees and committees of trustees; assisting in the preparation of regular communications with the trustees; and providing personnel and office space, telephones and other office equipment as necessary in order for TAM to perform supervisory and administrative services to the Funds. Prior to March 1, 2016, Transamerica Funds Services, Inc. (“TFS”) provided administrative services to the Funds.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

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

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

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

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

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

Distributions to shareholders: Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Foreign taxes: The Funds may be subjected to taxes imposed by the countries in which they invest, with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. The Funds may also be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or

currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable when the related income or capital gains are earned or unrealized, and based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which the Funds invest. Some countries require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital, or the proceeds of sales earned by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions of foreign capital remittances abroad.

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

Payables, if any, are reflected as Due to custodian in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Expenses, if any, from U.S. cash overdrafts are reflected in Custody fees within the Statements of Operations. Expenses, if any, from foreign cash overdrafts are reflected in Other expenses within the Statements of Operations.

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

Commissions recaptured are included in Net realized gain (loss) within the Statements of Operations. For the year ended October 31, 2016, commissions recaptured are listed below. Funds not listed in the subsequent table do not have any commissions recaptured during the year ended October 31, 2016.

Statement of cash flows: GAAP requires entities providing financial statements that report both a financial position and results of operations to also provide a Statement of Cash Flows for each period for which results of operations are provided, but exempts investment companies meeting certain conditions. These conditions may include the enterprise had little or no debt, based on the average debt outstanding during the period, or little or no illiquid investments, in relation to average total assets. Funds with certain degrees of borrowing activity, typically through the use of sale-buyback financing transactions, line of credit borrowing, short sale transactions, or illiquid investments have been determined to be at a level requiring a Statement of Cash Flows. A Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared for Global Long/Short Equity using the indirect method which requires net change in net assets resulting from operations to be adjusted to reconcile to net cash flows from operating activities.

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

3. SECURITY VALUATION

 

All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. The Funds value their investments at the official close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) each day the NYSE is open for business.

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The three levels (“Levels”) of inputs of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

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

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

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

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different Levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the Level in the fair value hierarchy that is assigned to the fair value measurement of a security is determined based on the lowest Level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Certain investments that are measured at fair value using NAV per share, or its equivalent, practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value levels. The hierarchy classification of inputs used to value the Funds’ investments, at October 31, 2016, is disclosed within the Security Valuation section of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

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

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

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

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

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

3. SECURITY VALUATION (continued)

 

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

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

Investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETF”): Investment companies are valued at the NAV of the underlying funds. These securities are actively traded and no valuation adjustments are applied. ETFs are stated at the last reported sale price or closing price on the day of valuation taken from the primary exchange where the security is principally traded. Investment companies and ETFs are generally categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments in privately held investment funds with significant restrictions on redemptions where the inputs of NAVs are unobservable will be valued based upon the NAVs of such investments and are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

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

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

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

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

Loan assignments: Loan assignments are normally valued using an income approach, which projects future cash flows and converts those future cash flows to a present value using a discount rate. The resulting present value reflects the likely fair value of the loan. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would generally be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise are categorized in Level 3.

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

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

Repurchase agreements: Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Rights and warrants: Rights and warrants may be priced intrinsically using a model that incorporates the subscription or strike price, the daily market price for the underlying security, and a subscription ratio. If the inputs are unavailable, or if the subscription or strike price is higher than the market price, then the rights or warrants are priced at zero. Rights or warrants are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

3. SECURITY VALUATION (continued)

 

Short-term notes: The Funds, with the exception of Government Money Market, normally value short-term government and U.S. government agency securities using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers and reference data. Certain securities are valued by principally using dealer quotations. Short-term government and U.S. government agency securities generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

Commercial paper is valued using amortized cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

Government Money Market values all security positions using amortized cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

U.S. government agency securities: U.S. government agency securities are comprised of two main categories consisting of agency issued debt and mortgage pass-throughs. Generally, agency issued debt securities are valued in a manner similar to U.S. government securities. Mortgage pass-throughs include to be announced (“TBA”) securities and mortgage pass-through certificates. Generally, TBA securities and mortgage pass-throughs are valued using dealer quotations. Depending on market activity levels and whether quotations or other observable data are used, these securities are typically categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they would be categorized in Level 3.

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

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

4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

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

Each Fund, based on its ability to invest in Loan Participations and Assignments, may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent banks and/or borrowers prior to the sale of these investments. The Funds that participate in such syndications, or that can buy a portion of the loans, become part lenders. Loans are often administered by agent banks acting as agents for all holders.

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

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

Open secured loan participations and assignments at October 31, 2016, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments.

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

PIKs held at October 31, 2016, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments.

Real estate investment trusts (“REIT”): REITs are pooled investment vehicles which invest primarily in income producing real estate, or real estate related loans or interests. Dividend income related to a REIT is recorded at management’s estimate of the income and capital gains included in distributions from the REIT investments. Distributions received in excess of the estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after the fiscal year end and may differ from the estimated amounts. There are certain additional risks involved in investing in REITs. These include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, real estate values, property taxes, and interest rates.

REITs held at October 31, 2016, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments.

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

Restricted and illiquid securities held at October 31, 2016, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments.

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

TBA commitments held at October 31, 2016, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments. Open balances at October 31, 2016, if any, are included in When-issued, delayed-delivery, and forward commitment purchased or sold within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

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

TIPS held at October 31, 2016, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments. The adjustments, if any, to principal due to inflation/deflation are reflected as increases/decreases to Interest income in the Statements of Operations, with a corresponding adjustment to Investments, at cost within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

When-issued, delayed-delivery, and forward commitment transactions: The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed-delivery, and forward commitment basis. When-issued and forward commitment transactions are made conditionally because a security, although authorized, has not yet been issued in the market. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment is made. The Funds engage in when-issued and forward commitment transactions to obtain an advantageous price and yield at the time of the transaction. The Funds engage in when-issued and forward

4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS (continued)

 

commitment transactions for the purpose of acquiring securities, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Funds may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the Funds are not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement.

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

When-issued, delayed-delivery, and forward commitment transactions held at October 31, 2016, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments. Open trades, if any, are reflected as When-issued, delayed-delivery, and forward commitment securities purchased or sold within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

5. BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

The Funds 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 their investment policies, to raise additional cash to be invested in other securities or instruments. When the Funds invest borrowing proceeds in other securities, the Funds 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. The Funds may borrow on a secured or on an unsecured basis. If the Funds enter into a secured borrowing arrangement, a portion of the Funds’ assets will be used as collateral. The 1940 Act requires the Funds to maintain asset coverage of at least 300% of the amount of their borrowings. Asset coverage means the ratio that the value of the Funds’ 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 Funds may borrow, it does not otherwise mitigate the risks of entering into borrowing transactions.

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

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

The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at October 31, 2016, if any, are shown on a gross basis within the Schedule of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

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

Repurchase agreements are subject to netting agreements, which are agreements between the Funds and their counterparties that provide for the net settlement of all transactions and collateral with the Funds, through a single payment, in the event of default or termination. Amounts presented on the Schedule of Investments, and as part of Repurchase agreements, at value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are shown on a gross basis. The value of the related collateral for each repurchase agreement, as reflected within the Schedule of Investments, exceeds the value of each repurchase agreement at October 31, 2016.

5. BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

Repurchase agreements at October 31, 2016, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Short sales: A short sale is a transaction in which the Funds sell securities they do not own, but have borrowed, in anticipation of a decline in the fair market value of the securities. The Funds are obligated to replace the borrowed securities at the market price at the time of replacement. The Funds’ obligation to replace the securities borrowed in connection with a short sale is fully secured by collateral deposited with the custodian. In addition, the Funds consider the short sale to be a borrowing by the Funds that is subject to the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act. Short sales represent an aggressive trading practice with a high risk/return potential, and short sales involve special considerations. Risks of short sales include that possible losses from short sales may be unlimited (e.g., if the price of stocks sold short rises), whereas losses from direct purchases of securities are limited to the total amount invested, and the Funds may be unable to replace borrowed securities sold short.

The Funds investing in short sales are liable for any dividends and/or interest payable on securities in a short position and these payables, if any, are reflected as Dividends, interest and fees for borrowings from securities sold short within the Statements of Operations. The Funds also bear other costs, such as charges for the prime brokerage accounts, in connection with short positions. These costs are reported as Dividends, interest and fees for borrowings from securities sold short within the Statements of Operations.

Open short sale transactions at October 31, 2016, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments and are reflected as a liability within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

6. RISK EXPOSURES AND THE USE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Funds’ investment objectives allow the Funds to use various types of derivative contracts, including option contracts, swap agreements, futures contracts, and forward foreign currency contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.

Market Risk Factors: In pursuit of the Funds’ investment objectives, the Funds may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease their exposure to the following market risks:

Interest rate risk: Interest rate risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of fixed income securities due to changes in the prevailing levels of market interest rates.

Foreign exchange rate risk: Foreign exchange rate risk relates to fluctuations in the value of an asset or liability due to changes in the currency exchange rates.

Equity risk: Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Credit risk: Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of a financial instrument to make further principal or interest payments on an obligation or commitment that it has to the Funds.

6. RISK EXPOSURES AND THE USE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS (continued)

 

Commodity risk: Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indices as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

The Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Funds will be unable to sell or close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligations to the Funds. Investing in derivatives may also involve greater risks than investing directly in the underlying assets, such as losses in excess of any initial investment and collateral received. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

The Funds’ exposure to market risk factors and other associated risks are discussed by derivative type as follows:

Option contracts: The Funds are subject to equity risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds, with the exception of High Yield Bond and Government Money Market, may enter into option contracts to manage exposure to various market fluctuations. The Funds may purchase or write call and put options on securities and derivative instruments in which each Fund owns or may invest. Options are valued at the average of the bid and ask price established each day at the close of the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options are marked-to-market daily to reflect the current value of the option. The primary risks associated with options are an imperfect correlation between the change in value of the securities held and the prices of the option contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and an inability of the counterparty to meet the contract terms. Options can be traded through an exchange or through privately negotiated arrangements with a dealer in an OTC transaction. Options traded on an exchange are generally cleared through a clearinghouse such as the Options Clearing Corp.

Options on exchange-traded funds and/or securities: The Funds may purchase or write options on ETFs and/or securities. Purchasing or writing options on ETFs and/or securities gives the Funds the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell a specified ETF and/or security as an underlying instrument for the option contract.

Options on indices: The Funds may purchase or write options on indices. Purchasing or writing an option on indices gives the Funds the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell the cash from the underlying index. The exercise of the option will result in a cash transfer and gain or loss depends on the change in the underlying index.

Options on foreign currency: The Funds may purchase or write foreign currency options. Purchasing or writing options on foreign currency gives the Funds the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell the currency and will specify the amount of currency and a rate of exchange that may be exercised by a specified date.

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

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

Open option contracts at October 31, 2016, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments.

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

Open futures contracts at October 31, 2016, if any, are listed within the Schedule of Investments. Variation margin, if applicable, is shown in Variation margin receivable or payable within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

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

Open forward foreign currency contracts at October 31, 2016, if any, are listed within the Schedule of Investments.

The following is a summary of the location and each Fund’s fair values of derivative investments disclosed, if any, within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by primary market risk exposure as of October 31, 2016. Funds not listed in the subsequent tables do not have derivative investments during the year ended October 31, 2016.

The Funds typically enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) or similar master agreements (collectively, “Master Agreements”) with their contract counterparties for certain OTC derivatives in order to, among other things, reduce its credit risk to counterparties.

ISDA Master Agreements include provisions for general obligations, representations, collateral and events of default or termination. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Funds typically may offset with the counterparty certain OTC derivative financial instruments payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment (close-out netting) in the event of default, termination and/or potential deterioration in the credit quality of the counterparty.

Various Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions with counterparties and typically attempt to reduce the counterparty risk associated with such transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Cross-termination provisions under Master Agreements typically provide that a default in connection with one transaction between the Funds and a counterparty gives the non-defaulting party the right to terminate any other transactions in place with the defaulting party to create one single net payment due to/due from the defaulting party and may be a feature in certain Master Agreements. In the event the Funds exercise their right to terminate a Master Agreement after a counterparty experiences a termination event as defined in the Master Agreement, the return of collateral with market value in excess of the Funds’ net liability may be delayed or denied.

Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange-traded derivatives (futures contracts, exchange-traded options, and exchange-traded swap agreements) while collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives (forward foreign currency exchange contracts, OTC options, and OTC swap agreements). For OTC derivatives, under standard derivatives agreements, the Funds may be required to post collateral on derivatives if the Funds are in a net liability position with the counterparty exceeding certain amounts. Additionally, counterparties may immediately terminate derivatives contracts if the Funds fail to maintain sufficient asset coverage for its contracts or its net assets decline by stated percentages.

The following is a summary of the Funds’ OTC derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement and net of the related collateral received/pledged by the Funds as of October 31, 2016. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset assets and liabilities that are subject to a master netting agreement or similar arrangement on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. See the Repurchase agreement section within these notes for offsetting and collateral information pertaining to repurchase agreements that are subject to master netting agreements. Funds not listed in the subsequent tables do not have master netting agreements for open derivative positions.

Investing in the Funds may involve certain risks, as discussed in the Funds’ prospectuses, including but not limited to the following:

Emerging market risk: Investments in the securities of issuers located in or principally doing business in emerging markets are subject to foreign investments risks. These risks are greater for investments in issuers in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to have economic, political and legal systems that are less fully developed and are less stable than those of more developed countries. Emerging market securities are often particularly sensitive to market movements because these market prices tend to reflect speculative expectations. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and in extreme price volatility.

Fixed income risk: The market prices of fixed income securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and 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. In addition, the market value of a fixed income security may decline if the issuer or other obligor of the security fails to pay principal and/or interest, otherwise defaults or has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines.

Foreign investment risk: Investing in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involves additional risk. Foreign countries may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of investments may decline because of factors affecting a particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, political or financial instability or other adverse economic or political developments. Lack of information and weaker accounting standards also may affect the value of these securities.

Growth risk: Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with returns on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks may be particularly susceptible to larger price swings or to adverse developments. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.

High-yield debt risk: High-yield debt securities, commonly referred to as “junk bonds,” are securities that are rated below “investment grade” (securities rated below Baa/BBB) or, if unrated, determined to be below investment grade by the sub-adviser. Changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers and the creditworthiness of the issuers may significantly affect the value of these bonds. Junk bonds are considered speculative, have a higher risk of default, tend to be less liquid and may be more difficult to value than higher grade securities. Junk bonds tend to be volatile and more susceptible to adverse events and negative sentiments.

Inflation-protected security risk: Inflation-protected debt securities may react differently from other types of debt securities and tend to react to changes in “real” interest rates. Real interest rates represent nominal (stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In general, the price of an inflation-protected debt security can fall when real interest rates rise, and can rise when real

interest rates fall. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable and will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation. Also, the inflation index utilized by a particular inflation-protected security may not accurately reflect the true rate of inflation, in which case the market value of the security could be adversely affected.

Master limited partnership (“MLP”) risk: Investments in MLPs involve risks that differ from investments in corporate issuers, including risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between the MLP and the MLP’s general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks, certain tax risks, and risks related to the general partner’s right to require unit holders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price. MLP entities are typically focused in the energy, natural resources and real estate sectors of the economy. A downturn in these sectors could have an adverse impact on an investment in MLPs. The yields for equity and debt securities of MLPs and other issuers in the energy sector are susceptible in the short-term to fluctuations in interest rates and the value of investments in such securities may decline if interest rates rise. The value of an investment in MLPs depends to a significant extent on the MLPs being treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If an MLP does not meet the legal requirements to maintain partnership status, it could be taxed as a corporation and there could be a material decrease in the value of its securities.

Money market risk: There is no assurance a money market fund will avoid principal losses if its holdings default or are downgraded or if interest rates rise sharply in an unusually short period. In addition, a money market fund’s yield will vary; it is not fixed for a specific period like the yield on a bank certificate of deposit. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although a money market fund seeks to preserve the value of an investment, it is possible to lose money by investing in it.

Mortgage-related and asset-backed security risk: The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property. Unlike mortgage-related securities issued or guaranteed by agencies of the U.S. government or government-sponsored entities, mortgage-related securities issued by private issuers do not have a government or government-sponsored entity guarantee (but may have other credit enhancement), and may, and frequently do, have less favorable collateral, credit risk or other underwriting characteristics. Asset-backed securities represent participations in, or are secured by and payable from, assets such as installment sales or loan contracts, leases, credit card receivables and other categories of receivables. The value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be affected by changes in credit quality or value of the mortgage loans or other assets that support the securities. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment or call and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets. The risk of default is generally higher in the case of mortgage-backed investments that include so-called “sub-prime” mortgages. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less information available than for other types of debt securities.

Municipal security risk: Municipal issuers may be adversely affected by rising health care costs, increasing unfunded pension liabilities, and by the phasing out of federal programs providing financial support. Unfavorable conditions and developments relating to projects financed with municipal securities can result in lower revenues to issuers of municipal securities, potentially resulting in defaults. The value of municipal securities can also be adversely affected by changes in the financial condition of one or more individual municipal issuers or insurers of municipal issuers, regulatory and political developments, tax law changes or other legislative actions, and by uncertainties and public perceptions concerning these and other factors. To the extent a fund focuses its investments in a single state or territory, it is subject to greater risk of adverse economic and regulatory changes in that state or territory than a geographically diversified fund. Puerto Rico municipal bonds have been impacted by recent adverse economic and market changes, which may cause the market values of these bonds to decline.

Real estate investment trusts (“REIT”) and real estate risk: Investments in the real estate industry and REITs are subject to risks associated with direct investment in real estate. These risks include declines in the value of real estate, adverse general and local economic conditions, increased competition, overbuilding and changes in operating expenses, property taxes or interest rates. REITs may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. In addition, REITs are subject to a number of highly technical tax-related rules and requirements; and the failure to qualify as a REIT could result in corporate-level taxation, significantly reducing the return on an investment.

Small and medium capitalization risk: Small or medium capitalization companies may be more at risk than large capitalization companies because, among other things, they may have limited product lines, operating history, market or financial resources, or because they may depend on a limited management group. The prices of securities of small and medium capitalization companies generally are more volatile than those of large capitalization companies and are more likely to be adversely affected by changes in earnings results and investor expectations or poor economic or market conditions than large capitalization companies. Securities of

small and medium capitalization companies may underperform large capitalization companies, may be harder to sell at times and at prices the portfolio managers believe appropriate, and may offer greater potential for losses.

11. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

The Funds have not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to their policy to distribute all of their taxable income and capital gains to their shareholders and otherwise qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The Funds’ federal and state tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities for the prior three years. Management has evaluated the Funds’ tax provisions taken for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. If applicable, the Funds recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and penalties expense in Other on the Statements of Operations. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, the state of Colorado, and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to different treatment for items including, but not limited to, wash sales, passive foreign investment companies, foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards, TIPS, convertible bond income, defaulted bond income, income accrual estimates, convertible preferred stock interest accrual, futures contracts, non-REIT return of capital dividends, return of capital adjustments, partnership basis adjustments, dividends payable, distribution redesignation, organizational expenses, and straddle deferral. Therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character.

12. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In October 2016, the SEC adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together the, “Final Rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the Final Rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the implication, if any, of the additional disclosure requirements and its impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

13. REORGANIZATION

Dynamic Allocation: Following the close of business on July 1, 2015, Dynamic Allocation acquired all of the net assets of Transamerica Dynamic Allocation II (“Dynamic Allocation II”) pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization. Dynamic Allocation is the accounting survivor. The purpose of the transaction was to achieve a more cohesive, focused, and streamlined fund complex. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 969,199 shares of Dynamic Allocation for 1,121,258 shares of Dynamic Allocation II outstanding on July 1, 2015. Dynamic Allocation II’s net assets at that date was, $10,968,127, including $88,124 unrealized depreciation, and were combined with those of Dynamic Allocation. The aggregate net assets of Dynamic Allocation immediately before the acquisition were $22,135,855; the combined net assets of Dynamic Allocation immediately after the acquisition were $33,103,982.

Shares issued to Dynamic Allocation II shareholders are as follows:

 

Class   Shares     Amount  
Class A     418,396      $   4,758,255   
Class C     490,111        5,521,344   
Class I     60,692        688,528   

The exchange ratio of the reorganization for Dynamic Allocation is as follows:

 

Class   Exchange Ratio (A)
Class A   0.86
Class C   0.87
Class I   0.86

 

(A)  Calculated by dividing the Dynamic Allocation shares issuable by the Dynamic Allocation II shares outstanding on July 1,2015.

Flexible Income: Following the close of business on December 4, 2015, Flexible Income acquired all of the net assets of Transamerica Income Shares, Inc. (“Income Shares, Inc.”) pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization. Flexible Income is the accounting survivor. The purpose of the transaction was to achieve a more cohesive, focused, and streamlined fund complex. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 15,148,372 shares of Flexible Income for 6,318,771 shares of Income Shares, Inc. outstanding on December 4, 2015. Income Shares, Inc.’s net assets at that date, $138,269,792, including $4,017,054 unrealized appreciation, were combined with those of Flexible Income. The aggregate net assets of Flexible Income immediately before the acquisition were $353,768,376; the combined net assets of Flexible Income immediately after the acquisition were $492,038,168.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

At October 31, 2016

 

13. REORGANIZATION (continued)

 

Shares issued to Income Shares, Inc. shareholders are as follows:

 

Class   Shares     Amount  
Class I     15,148,372      $   138,269,792   

The exchange ratio of the reorganization for Flexible Income is as follows:

 

Class   Exchange Ratio (A)
Class I   2.40

 

(A)  Calculated by dividing the Flexible Income shares issuable by the Income Shares, Inc. shares outstanding on December 4, 2015.

Assuming the reorganization had been completed on November 1, 2015, the beginning of the annual reporting period of Flexible Income, the pro forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2016, are as follows:

 

Net investment income (loss)

  $   21,367,609   

Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss)

    (2,660,993

Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations

    18,706,616   

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practical to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Income Shares, Inc. that have been included in Flexible Income’s Statement of Operations since December 4, 2015.

14. CUSTODY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE

In December 2015, State Street Bank and Trust Co., the Funds’ custodian, identified inconsistencies in the way in which clients were invoiced for categories of expenses, particularly those deemed out-of-pocket costs, during an 18-year period going back to 1998. The issue was the result of inaccurate billing rates that were not subsequently reviewed or adjusted. The amount of the difference in what was charged and what should have been charged, plus interest, was paid back to the Funds in September 2016 as a reimbursement. The amounts applicable to each Fund, if any, were recognized as a change in accounting estimate and are reflected in Reimbursement of custody fees within the Statements of Operations. This resulted in a decrease in Net expenses and an overall increase in Net assets.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Board approved the liquidation of Global Bond, which is scheduled to occur following the close of business on or about December 2, 2016.

The Board approved the reorganization of Income & Growth into Strategic High Income, which is scheduled to occur following the close of business on or about December 2, 2016.

The Board approved a new investment sub-advisory agreement with Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC, pursuant to which Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC will serve as co-sub-adviser to Small/Mid Cap Value along with Systematic Financial Management, L.P. The Board also approved the reduction of management fees. These changes will take effect on or about December 5, 2016.

The Board approved the launch of Advisor class shares for various Funds with in the Trust. The additional classes will commence operations on or about December 16, 2016.

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Transamerica Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Transamerica Bond, Transamerica Capital Growth, Transamerica Concentrated Growth, Transamerica Dividend Focused, Transamerica Dynamic Allocation, Transamerica Dynamic Income, Transamerica Emerging Markets Debt, Transamerica Emerging Markets Equity, Transamerica Flexible Income, Transamerica Floating Rate, Transamerica Global Bond, Transamerica Global Equity, Transamerica Global Long/Short Equity, Transamerica Government Money Market, Transamerica Growth, Transamerica High Yield Bond, Transamerica High Yield Muni, Transamerica Income & Growth, Transamerica Inflation Opportunities, Transamerica Intermediate Muni, Transamerica International Equity, Transamerica International Small Cap Value, Transamerica Large Cap Value, Transamerica Mid Cap Growth, Transamerica Mid Cap Value Opportunities, Transamerica MLP & Energy Income, Transamerica Multi-Cap Growth, Transamerica Multi-Managed Balanced, Transamerica Short-Term Bond, Transamerica Small Cap Core, Transamerica Small Cap Growth, Transamerica Small Cap Value, Transamerica Small/Mid Cap Value, Transamerica Strategic High Income, Transamerica Unconstrained Bond and Transamerica US Growth (thirty-six of the funds of the Transamerica Funds collectively known as the “Funds”), as of October 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the periods ended prior to January 1, 2014 of Transamerica Concentrated Growth were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 24, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the aforementioned thirty-six Funds of the Transamerica Funds at October 31, 2016, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Following its review and consideration, the Board determined that the terms of the Management Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable and that the renewal of each of the Agreements was in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the renewal of each of the Agreements through June 30, 2017. Prior to reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and received from TAM and each Sub-Adviser certain information. They then reviewed such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreements, including information they had previously received from TAM and each Sub-Adviser as part of their regular oversight of each Fund. The Trustees considered comparative fee, expense and performance information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of mutual fund performance information, as well as fee, expense and profitability information prepared by TAM. To the extent applicable, the Trustees also considered information about fees and performance of comparable funds and/or accounts managed by each Sub-Adviser.

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided

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

The Board also considered the continuous and regular investment management and other services provided by TAM for the portion of the management fee it retains from each Fund after payment of the sub-advisory fees. The Trustees noted that, at a meeting held on December 9-10, 2015, they had approved the combination of the Funds’ former Investment Advisory Agreement and Administrative Service Agreement into the Management Agreement in connection with the transition of the personnel and operations of Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. that relate to the provision of administrative services into TAM. They noted that this combination of agreements had resulted in each Fund paying a single management fee for investment advisory and administrative services. The Board noted that the investment management and other services provided by TAM include the design, development and ongoing review and evaluation of each Fund and its investment strategy; the selection, oversight and monitoring of one or more investment sub-advisers to perform certain duties with respect to the Funds; ongoing portfolio trading oversight and analysis; risk management oversight and analysis; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the valuation of Fund investments; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a compliance program for the Funds; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the voting of proxies and exercise of rights to consent to corporate action for Fund investments; participation in Board meetings and oversight of preparation of materials for the Board, including materials for Board meetings and regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation of the Funds’ prospectuses, statements of additional information, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and regulatory filings for the Funds; and ongoing cash management services. The Board considered that TAM’s investment management services also include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to each Fund. The Board also noted that TAM, as part of the services it provides to all Transamerica mutual funds, including the Funds, oversees the services provided by the funds’ custodian, transfer agent, independent accountant and legal counsel and supervises the performance of the recordkeeping and shareholder functions of the funds.

Investment Performance

In addition, the Board considered the short- and longer-term performance, as applicable, of each Fund in light of its investment objective, policies and strategies, including relative performance against (i) a peer universe of comparable mutual funds, as prepared by Lipper, and (ii) the Fund’s benchmark(s), in each case for various trailing periods ended December 31, 2015.

periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s sub-adviser had commenced subadvising the Fund on March 22, 2011 and commenced using its current investment objective and investment strategies on July 1, 2014.

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

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

Cost of Services Provided and Level of Profitability

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

With respect to the Sub-Advisers, the Board noted that the sub-advisory fees are the product of arm’s-length negotiation between TAM and the applicable Sub-Adviser, which is not affiliated with TAM (with the exception of those fees paid to AUIM, which is affiliated with TAM), and are paid by TAM and not the applicable Fund. As a result, for those Funds not sub-advised by AUIM, the Board focused on the profitability of TAM and its affiliates with respect to the applicable Fund. For each Fund sub-advised by AUIM, the Board noted that information about AUIM’s revenues and expenses was incorporated into TAM’s profitability analysis for the Fund. As a result, the Board focused on profitability information for TAM and AUIM in the aggregate.

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

Economies of Scale

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

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

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

Other Considerations

The Board noted that TAM has made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel and maintains the financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage each Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board favorably considered the procedures and policies TAM has in place to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Advisers. The Board also noted that TAM has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Funds.

Conclusion

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

Transamerica Funds   Annual Report 2016


Table of Contents

Dear Shareholder,

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

This annual report is provided to you to show the investments of your Fund(s). The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that annual and semi-annual reports be sent to all shareholders, and we believe it to be an important part of the investment process. This report provides a detailed information about your Fund(s) for the 12-month period ending October, 31, 2016.

We believe it is important to understand market conditions over the last year to provide a context for reading this report. At the beginning of the 1-year period that began on November 1, 2015, investors were trying to determine what rapidly declining oil prices - which had fallen from over $100 per barrel at the cyclical high to less than half that value by year end - would mean for markets. Adding more uncertainty toward year-end 2015 was the Federal Reserve’s (“Fed”) decision to finally raise the Fed funds rate by 0.25% in December, the first increase since 2006.

As the calendar turned to 2016, rapidly falling energy and commodity prices coupled with a weak U.S. gross domestic product report and weakness in overseas markets pressured U.S. equities, as concerns of a pending recession became more prevalent. In the months to follow however energy prices rebounded and economic growth remained positive thereby avoiding recessionary levels. Global markets sold off in late June following Great Britain’s surprise referendum vote in favor of departure from the European Union, (“Brexit”). Following the immediate negative reaction to this news, U.S. stocks recovered, and equity markets soon reached new all-time highs.

U.S. markets stayed range bound for most of the late summer and into the fall, with only a single bout of meaningful volatility in September when commentary from certain Fed Governors suggested that the case for a September rate hike was strengthening. That volatility proved temporary as September passed with no policy change at the central bank, and markets began to focus on the Fed meeting in December as the next possible target for a hike. The rising likelihood of rate increases resulted in the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield moving higher, and by October 31st had increased to 1.84% from a July low of 1.37%.

For the 1-year period ending October 31, 2016, the S&P 500® returned 4.51% while the MSCI EAFE Index, representing international developed market equities, lost (2.74)%. During the same period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 4.37%. Please keep in mind that it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio as investment returns have historically been difficult to predict.

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

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

Sincerely,

 

Marijn Smit

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Markets entered the fourth quarter of 2015 uncertain about the next move by the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) and fearful about the persistent weakness in commodities. However, as the fourth quarter got under way, U.S. labor markets showed strength, inflation appeared to resurface in wages, and financial conditions improved. Thus, doubts began to fade about the probability of a Fed rate hike at its December 16, 2015 Federal Open Market Committee meeting, although a modest increase was approved.

Global markets had a volatile start to 2016 as equity prices plunged before rebounding to end the first quarter in positive territory, oil prices plummeted only to reverse course to end slightly above where they began, and global growth concerns continued to dampen investors’ outlook. Credit spreads within the industrial sector faced renewed pressure, specifically in the oil, gas, and metals and mining sub-sectors, as rating agencies took widespread action in the first two months of the year. The ensuing flight to quality and risk-off sentiment prompted the U.S. dollar to strengthen and U.S. Treasury yields to rally.

Markets started the second quarter with a constructive tone as credit spreads tightened, equity prices rose and U.S. Treasury yields increased. However, equities sold off sharply, credit spreads widened and high-quality global government bond yields declined significantly at the end of the quarter in response to U.K.’s vote to leave the European Union (“Brexit”), as markets had assigned a high probability that voters would select to remain In the European Union. When British voters opted to leave, it came as a shock to markets.

For most of the third quarter, financial markets were relatively stable and uneventful, with risk assets generally performing well and U.S. Treasuries selling off. Although the quarter began amid uncertainty surrounding Brexit, the market impact was fairly muted. U.S. job growth continued on a strong path, while commodities, the U.S. dollar, global growth and China all stabilized.

During the last month of the fiscal period, the November U.S. presidential election continued to dominate headlines as investors navigated the potential market impact of a Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump victory. Within the fixed income markets, U.S. Treasuries sold off as market participants became more convinced that the Fed would raise rates in December, given improved economic data improved and rising inflation over the month.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Core Bond Class I2 returned 4.03%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 4.37%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The U.S. Treasury yield curve continued to flatten throughout the period, as the Fed began to normalize monetary policy. The 2- to 10-year part of the curve flattened 43 basis points (“bps”) during the period, with the spread decreasing from 142 bps to 98 bps. Within Treasuries, the 30-year bond finished as the best-performing bellwether returning 9.65%. The Fund’s underweight in Treasury debt was positive for performance as spread sectors outpaced their risk-free counterparts.

Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) outperformed comparable-duration Treasury debt, posting 57 bps of duration-neutral excess returns over Treasuries. The Fund’s mortgage allocation outperformed index pass-throughs during the year.

Corporate bonds finished as the best-performing broad market investment-grade domestic sector. Overall, the Bloomberg Barclays Corporate Index outpaced comparable-duration Treasuries by 317 bps, with industrial names being the best-performing sub-sector, outperforming Treasuries by 363 bps. The Fund’s underweight to credit detracted from performance, as the sector outpaced other spread sectors on a comparable-duration basis.

Sector allocations did not change dramatically throughout the year. We remained underweight in Treasury debt, overweight in MBS and asset-backed securities, relatively neutral in agency debentures, and modestly underweight in corporate bonds.

The Fund’s duration ended the year at 5.58 years as compared to 5.67 years for the benchmark.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

It was a tale of two periods for emerging markets. After suffering losses in the early part of the reporting period, emerging market equities rallied strongly in 2016, resulting in strong performance for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index for the overall one-year period ended October 31, 2016.

The closing months of 2015 were marked by uncertainty over when, or if the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) would raise interest rates, which it eventually did in mid-December. In addition, plummeting energy prices, decelerating emerging market growth and sluggish developed market growth created an environment in which investor sentiment swung back and forth like a pendulum. Market volatility picked up significantly in the beginning of 2016. The declines were largely the result of concerns surrounding growth in China and the continued drop in oil prices. Against this backdrop, emerging and developed market equities experienced losses.

Investor sentiment began to shift late in the first quarter of 2016. The bottoming of both oil prices (and much of the commodity complex) and domestic growth conditions across the emerging market landscape were important catalysts. However, the level of U.S. dollar gains — and just as importantly, the geographic distribution of such gains — suggested the principal driver of emerging market equity performance to date in 2016 had been the global hunt for yield, rather than any meaningful improvement in underlying fundamentals. What we witnessed was not a massive cyclical recovery in emerging market economies and corporate earnings, but rather a global carry trade. Emerging market bonds saw high levels of inflows as a result.

The distribution of performance across emerging market equity markets reflected this basal reality. Outperformance was largely centered in “high-yield” countries and/or those with significant commodity exports. Indeed, one could make the philosophical extension that commodity price gains also reflected the relatively weak dollar environment, which was itself a manifestation of low nominal rates.

In decomposing equity returns in some of the best-performing emerging market countries year to date, the currency component was significant. The Brazilian real rallied over 24%. The South African rand, Colombian peso and Russian ruble also made gains.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Developing Markets Equity Class I2 returned 7.83%. By comparison, its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, returned 9.67%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

For the 12-month period, the Fund lagged its benchmark primarily due to holdings in the consumer staples sector. An underweight in energy and an overweight position in health care also detracted. Additionally, the cash position weighed on performance during the 2016 rally. Relative contributors included stock selection in consumer discretionary, industrials and materials and an underweight in telecommunication services.

On a country basis, detractors included stock selection and an overweight position in India and stock selection in Brazil. The largest outperformer was stock selection in China. Stock selection and an underweight in South Korea also benefited the Fund’s relative performance.

Individual detractors included JD.com, Inc. (no longer held at period end) (consumer discretionary, China), Tingyi Cayman Islands Holding Corp. (consumer staples, China) and Embraer SA (industrials, Brazil).

JD.com, Inc., the second largest e-commerce operator in China, was weak on concerns about slowing growth and its ability to compete effectively against Alibaba Group Holding, Ltd. After doing extensive work, we came to believe that JD.com, Inc. would not be able to significantly disrupt Alibaba Group Holding, Ltd.’s dominance. The formidable competitive advantages that Alibaba Group Holding, Ltd. enjoys in its marketplace — logistics, payments, big data — will make it extremely challenging for JD.com, Inc. to find an economic model of reasonable profitability, in our view. Therefore, we exited our position.

Tingyi Cayman Islands Holding Corp., along with its subsidiaries, is the largest instant noodle producer in China. The company reported a decline in profit for 2015, and sales declined following price hikes that weren’t replicated by the competition, resulting in a loss of market share. Additionally, its products in the beverage segment were not properly positioned. The stock subsequently recovered off its lows, as management took steps to address the problems.

Embraer SA, the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer, struggled primarily on the back of weaker demand in both its commercial and corporate jet businesses. On the commercial side, we believe that lower oil prices led airlines to defer orders for more fuel efficient aircrafts. On the corporate side, there were cyclical pressures weighing on sales and earnings.

STRATEGY REVIEW (continued)

Top-performing holdings included Tencent Holdings, Ltd. (information technology, China), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (“TSMC,” information technology, Taiwan), and Lojas Americanas SA (consumer discretionary, Brazil).

Tencent Holdings, Ltd., one of China’s leading internet companies, benefited from better-than-expected results. The online gaming and social networking company continued to show improvements in monetization through online advertising, which has been an increasing focus. TSMC, the largest semiconductor foundry with 50% share of global revenues, rallied on optimism surrounding stronger than expected inventory restocking and the potential to take 100% share of the iPhone business. Lojas Americanas SA, a Brazilian retailer, performed well alongside a broader recovery in Brazilian equities and the prospect of an improving macroeconomic environment.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Over the fiscal year, credit and equity markets were subject to ongoing bouts of financial asset volatility due to dramatic geopolitical events. The decline in global equity prices that began in late 2015, accelerated in early 2016 due to a confluence of poor macro data. The U.S. economy decelerated due to weakness stemming from lower global demand, while growing concerns over the financial stability of the Chinese economy emerged. This macro backdrop coincided with turmoil in the high-yield market caused by the massive expected defaults in the energy sector. Due to the economic uncertainty, the U.S. Federal Reserve provided a very dovish forecast for further rate increases. Market sentiment shifted into “risk-on” mode in the first quarter on expectations of better economic data and a stable Chinese economy, accommodative central bank policies and increasing energy prices.

As the year progressed, indicators in the U.S. such as employment, housing prices and wage data, continued to maintain strength which reinforced investors’ confidence that the U.S. economy was not at risk of near-term negative growth. Meanwhile, European and Asian equities declined during the second quarter on poorer growth prospects despite further quantitative easing programs by the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan, which sent yields plunging to negative levels.

The unanticipated outcome of Great Britain’s exit from the European Union (“Brexit”) at the end of June led to an immediate fall in global equity prices followed by a sharp rebound that continued into the third quarter. Through the summer, global equity markets steadily increased on dovish central banks. U.S. equity markets were buoyed by historically low 10-year Treasury yields. The global search for yield drove investors into investment grade and high-yield bonds, resulting in noticeably compressed spreads and strong returns from higher yielding, riskier bonds. As we moved into October, the market paused due to the upcoming U.S. presidential election.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Event Driven Class I2 returned 1.87%. By comparison, its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Dollar 3-Month LIBOR Average Index, returned 0.61%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

We invest in companies involved in corporate events or special situations and will look to exploit mispricings due to fundamental factors, security volatility and price dislocations. We will express long or short exposures, utilizing a variety of securities within a company’s capital structure.

Market dislocations during the fiscal year created compelling event opportunities. The Fund benefited from long volatility positions and short energy trades in early 2016. In early March, we shifted the Fund into idiosyncratic long energy exposures, capturing the rally. We also identified and capitalized on several corporate refinancing events and mispriced credit opportunities. Detractors from performance included our capital structure positions as well as some of our fundamental events.

Although diversified, the Fund is primarily invested in North America, followed by Europe and Asia, reflecting our view that most of the high alpha events will be in North America. At period end, the Fund’s largest sector concentrations were in technology, energy and financials.

During the period, the Fund used derivatives. These positions detracted from performance.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Global real estate shares generated a positive return during the fiscal year as positive performance in Asia Pacific and the Americas was tempered by negative returns in the Europe, which was impacted by the negative performance of the U.K. markets following the country’s vote to leave the European Union (“Brexit”). From a fundamental standpoint, real estate stocks benefited from a favorable environment of limited new supply, improving demand for real estate space, which led to higher occupancies, rents, property values and access to attractively-priced capital. Low levels of new construction globally were also a positive in a slowing world economy, suggesting that owners of existing properties could continue to enjoy some degree of improved pricing power.

While global economic forecasts were revised down late in the period, there were offsetting positive indicators, particularly in the U.S., which showed firming employment and a recovering housing market. The moderate pace of economic activity, combined with subdued development starts, a low inflation/low interest rate environment, and a wide spread between initial yields on real estate and high-quality bonds may support investor demand for real estate. We believe central bank policy will generally remain accommodative. While global risks became more elevated in the aftermath of the Brexit vote, we continued to look for opportunities to buy high-quality real estate companies with visible earnings at discounted prices. The spread between cap rates and 10-year sovereign bond yields remained at historically wide levels, suggesting that there was a plenty of “cushion” should bond yields ultimately increase.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Global Real Estate Securities Class I2 returned (0.65)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the S&P Developed Property Index, returned 4.13%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund offers a global strategy for real estate securities, owning between 80 and 110 real estate stocks with the goal of outperforming the S&P Developed Property Index. We seek to invest in attractively-priced companies that own property in markets with favorable underlying real estate fundamentals. The global universe of public real estate companies is approximately three times the size of the U.S. public company universe, thus offering additional choices and diversification opportunities.

The Fund underperformed its benchmark due primarily to stock selection in the U.S. Positioning in the U.K. following the Brexit vote also detracted from relative performance.

U.S. stock selection was challenged by an investment environment favoring dividend yield over any other valuation metrics. Our portfolio positioning in the U.S. favored higher-growth companies, many of which tended to have lower dividend yields. As a result, portfolio holdings in the apartment and office sectors underperformed and overshadowed positive stock selection in the net lease and storage sectors.

The negative impact from the Brexit vote was a notable detractor. We began the year with a modest underweight in the U.K. and shifted to an overweight in May, because the stocks looked exceptionally cheap relative to private market values and we did not believe the “Leave” vote would prevail. This move was additive to relative performance until the unexpected Brexit vote, after which time our U.K. holdings underperformed.

Positioning in the Asia-Pacific region was a modest drag on relative performance due to positioning in Tokyo-focused developers, which underperformed despite evidence of improving property fundamentals. This offset the benefit of positive stock selection in Hong Kong and Australia.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The fiscal year ended October 31, 2016 was not completely unlike any other 12-month period in the post-crisis era. Interest rates and growth remained low, global central banks stayed unprecedentedly accommodative, and geopolitical events punctuated the grinding, but still positive, economic improvements.

In December, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) raised the Fed funds rate target for the first time since 2006, taking its first substantive step toward normalizing the stance of monetary policy since ceasing the quantitative easing program in 2014. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) and the Bank of Japan (“BoJ”), meanwhile, continued to provide monetary stimulus during the period. The ECB launched a new corporate bond purchase program in the summer, meant to ease lending conditions in the real economy and boost credit market activity. Late in the summer, the BoJ shifted gears and adopted a new policy target — the 10-year Japanese government bond yield. In both cases, these major central banks continued to innovate their policy toolkits. Much of this innovation was attributed to a crisis of confidence that spread across global markets in the first quarter of 2016, when global developed sovereign yields turned increasingly negative.

Domestically, the economic environment steadily improved. Year over year, real gross domestic product accelerated from a 2.0% seasonally-adjusted annual rate to 2.9% in the third quarter. The labor market added approximately 2.3 million jobs at an average pace of 196,000 per month while the unemployment rate hovered around the 5% level. Goods and services prices crept higher in aggregate as the Consumer Price Index went from no growth in September 2015 to registering 1.46% in September 2016. Crude oil prices remained volatile, swinging from as low as $26/barrel to $51/barrel.

In the U.S. financial markets, interest rates finished the fiscal year lower, while equities and the dollar were stronger. Corporate credit had a good year as total returns improved and spreads tightened markedly. Investors were the most challenged, perhaps, by bouts of volatility as the CBOE VIX Index was elevated around calendar year-end and slowly settled down only to surge again mid-year on the U.K.‘s vote to leave the European Union (“Brexit”).

Geopolitics were a notable headwind for investors, but also a source for opportunity. The conflict in Syria raged on as terror attacks continued in the West — from the Bataclan nightclub in Paris last November to the Brussels airport in March. A July coup attempt in Turkey unsettled markets as well. Amid this chaos, the U.S. was embroiled in a caustic and exhausting election campaign season that culminated in a vote for a new president on November 8, 2016.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Intermediate Bond Class I2 returned 4.41%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 4.37%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Strategically, we continued to prefer defensive interest rate positioning into periods of potential volatility. The emphasis remained on minimizing interest rate volatility risks by focusing on spread products, rather than U.S. Treasuries, for example, and using credit selection expertise rather than taking on above-benchmark duration risk.

During the period, spread tightening and paydown effects were the primary positive contributors to performance.

Interest rates generally moved lower and the Fund experienced a drag from yield-curve positioning, mainly due to being underweight duration relative to its benchmark at the long end of the curve. However, our strategic short duration bias in the front-end paid off, with the one-year and two-year points contributing the most positively on an active basis.

At the asset class level, top contributors to excess performance were U.S. Treasuries, agency residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) and investment grade corporates. Non-agency RMBS, asset backed securities and emerging markets debt were the biggest detractors.

Fund performance was driven by lower-rated credits. A-rated holdings were the largest component of excess return by rating. BBB-rated securities were the largest detractors, though the overweight to lower quality securities generally added to overall performance along with excess carry.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Sluggish global growth weighed on both developed and emerging market economies during the reporting period. The U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) began its long-anticipated monetary tightening cycle in the middle of the period, but the tightening cycle proved to be more gradual than initially anticipated. Globally, central bank policy remained highly accommodative, which forced many government, and even some corporate, bond yields into negative territory. During the second half of the period, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union (“EU”), beginning a multi-year process of negotiation in order to achieve “Brexit”. While markets initially reacted to the vote with alarm, the spillover to European and emerging markets was relatively short-lived, although risks of further hits to EU cohesiveness could re-emerge.

Slow global trade continued to mirror slow global growth, particularly for many emerging markets. That said, these countries began to show signs of a modest upturn in activity along with adjustment in their external accounts.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica International Equity Opportunities Class I2 returned (3.75)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, returned (2.74)%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Weak stock selection in the materials sector detracted from performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index. Within this sector, an overweight position in industrial and medical gas supplier Air Liquide SA (France) hurt relative returns.

Security selection in both the retailing and autos and housing sectors also detracted. Within retailing, the Fund’s overweight in global sourcing and supply chain management company Li & Fung, Ltd. (Hong Kong) and retailer Hennes & Mauritz AB (Sweden), and holdings of apparel manufacturer Global Brands Group Holding, Ltd. (Hong Kong) detracted.

Elsewhere, the Fund’s overweight positions in pharmaceutical company Bayer AG (Germany), entertainment company Sky PLC (United Kingdom), investment management and banking firm UBS Group AG (Switzerland) and pharmaceutical and diagnostic company Roche Holding AG (Switzerland) hurt relative performance. Additionally, the Fund’s position in pharmaceutical company Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (no longer held at period end) (Canada) and an underweight position in banking and financial services company HSBC Holdings PLC (no longer held at period end) (United Kingdom) also held back relative results.

Relative contributors were led by stock selection in the technology and special products/services sectors. Within technology, contract semiconductor manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., online and mobile commerce company Alibaba Group Holding, Ltd. (China), and an overweight position in enterprise applications company SAP SE (Germany) helped relative results. Within special products/services, an overweight position in food catering company Compass Group PLC (United Kingdom) also boosted relative results.

Other contributors included fast-food restaurant company Yum! Brands, Inc. and overweight positions in medical products and equipment manufacturer Terumo Corp. (Japan), electrical distribution equipment manufacturer Schneider Electric SE (France) and insurance company AIA Group, Ltd. (Hong Kong). Additionally, not owning poor-performing pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk (Denmark) and financial services provider Lloyds Banking Group (United Kingdom) also aided relative returns.

Transamerica International Small Cap

 

 

(unaudited)

 

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

International small company equities made limited progress over the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, with the S&P EuroPacific SmallCap Index yielding a dollar return of 2.28%. Overall returns may have been modest for the year, but small caps again outperformed their larger peers, which fell (1.86)% as measured by the S&P EuroPacific Large/Midcap Index. The small cap “effect” was most marked in continental Europe, where smaller company outperformance in the financial and health care sectors were particularly influential, and in Japan, where the more domestic focus of smaller companies benefited them relative to large caps during a period of strength in the yen.

Among the worst returns were in the United Kingdom, where the vote to leave the European Union on June 23, 2016, hit domestically-focused smaller companies particularly hard. The rout was led by key small-cap sectors such as house builders, real estate, retailing and consumer services, reflecting acute investor concerns over the outlook for revenues, the impact on input costs from a dramatically weaker pound sterling, and the potential for restrictive immigration policies.

The period closed with perhaps more than the usual litany of uncertainties, including political developments in Europe, continued fragilities in a number of emerging markets, and signs that the efficacy of monetary policy tools was fading. Constraints of high levels of debt and poor demographics (and not just in developed economies) suggested that overall global growth could continue on the muted path seen over the last seven years. Long-term investors will have to work harder to identify areas of superior growth, and in that context we remain confident of selective exposure to smaller companies as an important strategic exposure. We will continue to work hard to identify companies offering sustainable growth and superior returns.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica International Small Cap Class I2 returned (0.58)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the S&P EuroPacific SmallCap Index, returned 2.28%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Stock selection in Japan was the main headwind, and was not helped by our underweight in the strongest performer among major markets. We struggled to find attractive value among domestic defensive companies and the high-yielding real estate sector, but given a strong currency and a hunt for yield amid the negative interest rate policy pursued by the Bank of Japan, these areas outperformed strongly. Meanwhile, stock selection in consumer discretionary (auto part companies such as Unipres Corp. and Eagle Industry Co., Ltd.), information technology (OBIC Business Consultants Co., Ltd. and Kakaku.com, Inc.) and materials (Kumiai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) lagged. The impact was only partly offset by strong showings among some of our domestically-oriented industrial holdings such as AICA Kogyo Co., Ltd., Trusco Nakayama Corp. and Fukushima Industries Corp.

Our European holdings also fell short of the benchmark, almost entirely due to financial holdings in Italy, most notably Anima Holding SpA, BPER (Banca Popolare dell’Emilia Romagna SC) (no longer held at period end) and Banca Sistema SpA. This more than counteracted good selection among information technology stocks, most notably Logitech International S.A., Lectra and Comet Holding AG. In the United Kingdom, the main detractors were in the consumer discretionary sector (Lookers PLC, Redrow PLC and Pets at Home Group PLC).

Stock selection in Asian markets outside Japan (across both developed and emerging exposures) was generally strong. A number of consumer companies in Hong Kong/China were notably strong, including New Oriental Education & Technology Group, Inc. and Best Pacific International Holdings, Ltd., along with Korean auto part stocks Mando Corp. and Hanon Systems.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

At the beginning of the fiscal year, in November 2015, U.S. equity markets experienced the same volatility faced earlier in in 2015 as global growth concerns re-emerged on news of weak industrial activity in China. The strong U.S. dollar, boosted by rising expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) would raise interest rates, also contributed to volatility. The major nemeses of equity markets for 2015, falling oil prices and continued strength in the U.S. dollar, did not go away.

During the first six weeks of 2016, investor concerns about a potential U.S. recession and continued volatility in commodity prices drove equity markets lower. Additionally, headwinds surrounding global growth and anticipation of continued oil oversupply caused oil to reach new multiyear lows. These trends began to reverse, as markets cheered the continued weakness in the dollar and interpreted hawkish Fed signals to indicate that the U.S. economy was strong enough to endure the normalization of monetary policy. However, market optimism soon evaporated in mid-June 2016. Growing support for the leave campaign in the U.K.’s referendum vote to exit European Union (“EU”) began to surface and led to broadly sharper volatility, with markets selling off widely in the two days following the vote.

Investors quickly cast aside fears related to U.K.’s decision to leave EU during the last four months of the fiscal year as the S&P 500® reached an all-time high in August. Despite some pullback in September, the index enjoyed a gain of approximately four percent during the third quarter of 2016. Notably, market leadership began to reverse, as returns were most robust for the technology, financials and media sectors while utilities and telecommunication services were among the biggest laggards. Federal funds futures rates exhibited relatively pronounced volatility during the quarter, as heightened anticipation for a September rate hike quickly evaporated while the likelihood of a December increase firmed.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Long/Short Strategy Class I2 returned (0.73)%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month Treasury Bill Index and the S&P 500® Index, returned 0.31% and 4.51%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its benchmark with the pharmaceutical/medical technology, consumer cyclical and real estate investment trust sectors detracting from relative performance. Meanwhile, the media, energy and semiconductors sectors added value.

On an individual basis in the semiconductors sector, the strategy’s short position in Micron Technology, Inc. (“Micron”) detracted from performance. During the third quarter of 2016, the company reported better-than-expected earnings due to top- and bottom-line growth. Memory markets also showed broad near-term improvements. We remained confident in our short position due to Micron’s limited free cash flow generation amid unstable capital expenditure levels. Additionally, a short position in NVIDIA Corp. detracted as the company increased forward guidance due to growth in its auto and data-center segments. We continued to find NVIDIA Corp.’s valuation unattractive and believed its new revenue sources were overstated.

On the positive side in semiconductors, a long position in Broadcom, Ltd. was a top contributor, as the merger between the company and Avago Technologies was finalized in the first half of the Fund’s fiscal year. We continued to have conviction in this position due to the company’s diversified end-markets, strong operating expense controls and access to key growth markets. In media, a long position in Facebook, Inc. helped performance in the fourth quarter of 2015; the company reported strong quarters with accelerating growth in advertising revenue and better-than-expected margins. Facebook, Inc. continued to benefit from the secular shift of advertising spending from traditional media to digital and mobile platforms.

Transamerica Mid Cap Value

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

While investors enjoyed strong positive absolute returns in U.S. equity markets over the fiscal year, it has been an unusual market environment for sector leadership. Given many uncertainties (interest rates, volatile commodity prices and the impending U.K. referendum to leave the European Union (“Brexit”)) in the marketplace in the first quarter in 2016, investors sought defensive areas of the market, causing utilities and telecommunication services to lead the market. During the second quarter, while utilities and telecommunication services continued their ascent, the energy sector was actually the best-performing sector due to a rebound in oil prices. Following Brexit, there was a rotation from defensives to cyclicals in the third quarter as the highest-yielding sectors gave back some of their lofty gains, although at a very modest rate. Interestingly, information technology was the top-performing sector in the third quarter due to merger-and-acquisition activity.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Mid Cap Value Class I2 returned 5.24%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index, returned 7.84%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Active management in the mid-cap space has been challenging in 2016 with an overwhelming majority of managers underperforming the benchmark on a year-to-date basis through October 31. Several of the top-performing stocks in the Russell Midcap® Value Index were commodity-related names, such as Newmont Mining Corp. and Freeport-McMoRan, Inc. These names have been sparsely owned in the mid-cap market, causing most managers to underperform. Additionally, sector leadership rotated dramatically, as detailed above. While these undercurrents posed a short-term challenge for the Fund’s style, we continued to abide by our approach of investing in high-quality, mid-cap companies with durable franchises, consistent patterns of earnings and strong management teams focused on generating shareholder returns.

During the year, an overweight allocation to the consumer discretionary sector was the single biggest detractor from overall performance amid the accumulation of negative retail data points. Although partially offset by positive stock selection in the sector, the Fund’s long-standing structural overweight reflects the breadth of attractive opportunities we see to invest in companies with strong brands, consistent earnings patterns, and management teams with a proven track record of capital allocation. While a few months are certainly not evidence of a turnaround, we are pleased to see a rebound in many of our retailers on the heels of better-than-feared earnings results in the most recent quarter. Valuations are attractive and we believe that our retailers are positioned to adapt well to a changing retail landscape by developing effective omni-channel strategies.

On the positive side, the Fund benefited from merger-and-acquisition activity, most notably in the utilities sector, where we’ve enjoyed strongly positive stock selection in part due to positions which have been acquired at sizable premiums. While we do not explicitly set out to identify companies that are potential takeout candidates, often the same qualities that appeal to us can make these stocks attractive acquisition targets.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The most significant event during the last quarter of 2015 was the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (“Fed”) much awaited decision to raise policy rates by 25 basis points in December 2015, a path not explored in nearly a decade. As a result, markets reacted to the long-awaited liftoff with a sense of relief, releasing tension in the financial markets. U.S. yields, particularly at the front-end, began to rise and the U.S. dollar outperformed most developed market counterparts. Conversely, in Europe, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) continued its quantitative easing, following signals that European economic growth and inflation lagged.

At the onset of the first quarter of 2016, global growth fears gripped markets amidst uncertainty surrounding China, falling commodity prices, and efficacy of central bank policies. Despite elevated volatility in financial markets, the fundamental backdrop remained mostly intact as supportive central banks helped reignite risk appetite in part with calming rhetoric and action. Central banks in Europe, Japan, and China, announced additional easing measures, though the ECB notably shifted efforts toward credit expansion and away from weakening the currency. In the meantime, concerns about global influences and financial conditions prevented the Fed from hiking rates for the second time, with the statement suggesting a dovish tilt with a tolerance for overshooting the inflation target. Due to the Fed’s “dovish pause” in policy normalization and the rally of global commodity prices, the U.S. dollar weakened against most developed market counterparts.

For most of the second quarter, markets were relatively subdued as oil prices moved higher and China’s growth stabilized, despite central banks taking a pause from quantitative easing. However, the outcome of U.K.’s referendum vote to leave the European Union (“Brexit”) stirred market sentiment near the end of the quarter and led to a decline in sovereign yields and a sell-off of risk assets. Still, the fundamental backdrop remained mostly unchanged and expectations for further central bank easing helped anchor risk appetite. During this time, the U.S. dollar was mixed against developed market and emerging market (“EM”) currencies due to the Fed’s dovish stance, and the pound sterling weakened considerably in the wake of the surprise outcome in the U.K.’s historic referendum.

In the third quarter of 2016, markets generally shook off the unexpected Brexit referendum results and were relatively calm as equities hit new highs and volatility remained low. Over the course of the quarter, headlines were marked by concerns over monetary policy, particularly the Bank of Japan’s “comprehensive review,” the ECB’s inaction, and the Fed’s path towards a potential rate hike in December, prompting sovereign interest rates to increase across much of the developed world. Meanwhile, a stronger dollar and heightened election uncertainty, mixed with increasing rates, weighed on risk sentiment toward the end of October.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Total Return Class I2 returned 4.70%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 4.37%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

During the one-year period, an underweight to U.S. duration for the majority of the period detracted from performance as yields fell. Allocations to European duration, specifically Germany and Italy, added to returns as yields declined as a product of the ECB’s accommodative measures. Short tactical exposure to U.K. sovereign debt detracted from performance as rates rallied throughout the period. Meanwhile, a long U.S. dollar currency positioning against a basket of EM currencies added to returns as these currencies depreciated versus the U.S. dollar. However, a long U.S. dollar currency positioning against the Japanese yen more than offset currency gains as the currency appreciated relative to the U.S. dollar.

Continued exposure to non-Agency mortgages contributed to returns over the year as these securities benefited from limited supply and an ongoing housing recovery. Holdings of Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities contributed to returns, as inflation expectations increased via breakeven levels. Exposure to external EM debt, particularly quasi-sovereign corporates, were additive to performance as spreads narrowed. An allocation to high yield corporates contributed to returns as spreads narrowed, while an overweight and security and sector selection within investment grade financials contributed to returns. Additionally, an overweight to municipal securities added to performance as spreads narrowed for revenue bonds.

During the period, the Fund used derivatives. These positions detracted from performance.

Understanding Your Funds’ Expenses

 

 

(unaudited)

 

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

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

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

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2016, and held for the entire period until October 31, 2016.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

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

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

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

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

§ Average Maturity is computed by weighting the maturity of each security in the Fund by the market value of the security, then averaging these weighted figures.

 

Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder.

 

Credit quality represents a percentage of net assets at the end of the reporting period. Ratings BBB or higher are considered investment grade. Not rated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be equivalent of investment grade. The table reflects Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) ratings; percentages may include investments not rated by S&P but rated by Moody’s, or if unrated by Moody’s, by Fitch ratings, and then included in the closest equivalent S&P rating. Credit ratings are subject to change. The Fund itself has not been rated by an independent agency.

 

* Percentage rounds to less than 0.1% or (0.1)%.

 

^ The Net Other Assets (Liabilities) category may include, but is not limited to, reverse repurchase agreements, forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts, swap agreements, written options and swaptions, and cash collateral.

FOOTNOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (continued):

 

(N)  Cash in the amount of $321,503 has been segregated by the custodian as collateral for open over-the-counter swap agreements and/or forward foreign currency contracts.
(O)  If the Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (a) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced obligation or (b) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap agreement less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced obligation.
(P)  Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced entity or obligation.
(Q)  The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.
(R)  The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative had the notional amount of the swap agreement been closed/sold as of the period ended. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap agreement, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
(S)  The Fund recognizes transfers between Levels at the end of the reporting year. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the year ended October 31, 2016. Please reference the Security Valuation section of the Notes to Financial Statements for more information regarding security valuation and pricing inputs.
(T)  Futures contracts and/or forward foreign currency contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation).

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (continued)

At October 31, 2016

 

FOOTNOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (continued):

 

(S)  Aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes is $898,034,183. Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for all securities is $15,400,753 and $8,472,737, respectively. Net unrealized appreciation for tax purposes is $6,928,016.
(T)  Securities with a total value of $5,870,288 have been segregated by the broker as collateral for centrally cleared swap agreements.
(U)  Cash in the amount of $3,002,000 has been segregated by the custodian as collateral for centrally cleared swap agreements.
(V)  If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (a) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced obligation or (b) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap agreement less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced obligation.
(W)  Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced entity or obligation.
(X)  The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.
(Y)  The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative had the notional amount of the swap agreement been closed/sold as of the period ended. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap agreement, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
(Z)  Cash in the amount of $90,000 has been segregated by the custodian as collateral to cover margin requirements for open futures contracts.
(AA)  The Fund recognizes transfers between Levels at the end of the reporting year. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the year ended October 31, 2016. Please reference the Security Valuation section of the Notes to Financial Statements for more information regarding security valuation and pricing inputs.
(AB)  Level 3 securities were not considered significant to the Fund.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The fiscal year was categorized by continued divergence in monetary policy, concerns around slower global growth, a rebound in commodity prices, surprise around the result of the U.K.’s vote to leave the European Union (“Brexit”) and uncertainty around the U.S. presidential election. Developed countries’ central bank monetary policy continued to move in opposing directions, with the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) hiking its target funds rate for the first time since the global financial crisis.

After a volatile start to 2016, largely due to concerns over slowing growth in China and a further fall in oil prices, the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan (“BOJ”) acted to ease monetary policy further. After falling further at the end of 2015 and beginning of 2016, commodity prices largely rebounded over the remainder of the period, aided by increased fiscal spending, more stable growth in China and OPEC’s announcement that it had agreed to cap production. One of the more anticipated events over the period occurred in June 2016, Brexit. Despite betting markets suggesting a comfortable lead for staying in the European Union, the final tally of votes ultimately showed the Brexit supporters as the winners, setting off a period of uncertainty around what the future of the U.K. economy and policy would look like.

The U.S. economy saw growth slow over 2016, partially weighed down by weaker exports and elevated levels of inventory. Employment in the U.S. continued to improve, with the unemployment rate reaching levels consistent with Fed estimates of the natural rate of unemployment. However, growth in wages and inflation remained tepid, and uncertainty around the U.S. presidential election allowed the Fed to remain patient in moving forward with another interest rate hike.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Global Multifactor Macro Class I2 returned 1.22%. By comparison, its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Dollar 3-Month LIBOR Average Index, returned 0.61%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The strategy gains exposure to global equity, fixed income, currency and commodity markets through the use of derivatives including futures, currency forwards and swaps. All asset classes contributed positively to performance.

Utilizing a multifactor approach, the strategy performed well over the period, boosted largely by positioning derived from macroeconomic momentum signals. Positioning based on carry and value also performed well over the period, while positioning based on price momentum detracted. Currency strategies performed well, with a long Japanese yen position contributing meaningfully. The yen performed well over the period, benefiting from concerns over slower global growth and inaction from the Bank of Japan against expectations for more aggressive easing at several meetings after it cut its deposit rate into negative territory.

The Fund held short positions in energy-related commodities, driven by downward revisions to growth forecasts in commodity consuming countries and appreciation of the U.S. dollar. Short energy positions performed well in late 2015 and into early 2016, as U.S. oil inventory data increased more than expected, Russian production rose to multidecade highs, The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries continued to produce above the organization’s stated quota and concerns over slower growth in China increased.

A long position in U.K. interest rate futures also benefited performance. Uncertainty leading up to the Brexit vote and the ultimate vote led to a larger-than-expected easing package from the Bank of England. The easing package included a rate cut and a new quantitative easing program. Gains were slightly offset by a long position in Japanese government bonds, which underperformed over the second and third quarters of 2016, as the BOJ disappointed market expectations for further easing. Equities added to returns, with a long position in Brazilian equities performing well year to date. Brazilian equities gained on higher key commodity prices and the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff. Brazilian equities reacted positively to her replacement, Michel Temer, who was viewed as more business friendly. These gains were partially offset by losses in a short Canadian equities position. Canadian equities performed well over the period, driven by higher energy prices and stronger than expected growth data.

(A) The BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Dollar 3-Month LIBOR Average Index represents the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) with a constant 3-month average maturity.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or Life of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

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

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

Investing in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involves additional risk. Foreign countries in which the Fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, Transamerica Managed Futures Strategy Class I2 returned (5.00)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index + 7% Wrap, returned 7.47%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Although the Fund generated a loss over the period, it remained strongly diversifying to an equity-focused portfolio and realized a negative correlation to global equities. Equities drove losses, followed by commodities. Currencies performed positively, followed by fixed income. By trend horizon, short-term signals were a drag on performance due to a number of reversals across asset classes. Long-term signals and over-extended signals contributed positively.

Short-term trends in equities detracted the most. We began the period long equities when equity markets began selling off, causing initial losses. As the selloff accelerated, positioning flipped back to net short and we were able to recoup some earlier losses in the significant equity market drawdown in early 2016. Later, markets reversed and rallied as economic fallout from the Brexit vote proved benign, but sold off towards the end of the period due to uncertainty around the U.S. presidential election. These significant reversals in sentiment and market direction caused short-term trend signals to change positioning multiple times, resulting in losses.

Trends in commodities detracted marginally. Bearish trends reversed early in 2016, and markets exhibited choppy behavior thereafter. Metals were key detractors. Gold, for example, reversed and rallied strongly in early 2016, but then reversed towards the end of the period, mostly in response to central bank policies and rhetoric. Despite reversals and rallies in energies early in 2016, over-extended signals helped manage risk in these positions, which allowed for preservation of gains from early-period bearish trends.

Trends in currencies contributed positively to performance and helped mitigate losses. Over the period, the Japanese yen sustained a strong bullish trend. Additionally, uncertainty surrounding Brexit and the Bank of England’s policies caused a sustained bearish trend in the British pound, which benefited our currency strategy. Gains in these trends were offset by a number of reversals in the U.S. dollar.

Trends in fixed income also performed well, driven by yields declining globally.

During the period, the Fund used derivatives. These positions detracted from performance.

Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill + 7% Wrap Index (A)

     7.47      7.31      7.32         

(A) The Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill + 7% Wrap Index represents monthly return equivalents of yield averages of the last 3 month Treasury Bill issues.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or Life of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

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

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

Securities purchased for an arbitrage strategy are intended to take advantage of a perceived relationship between the value of two securities and may not perform as expected. This Fund is only available in Class I2 shares, which are not available for direct investment by the public.

Understanding Your Funds’ Expenses

 

 

(unaudited)

 

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

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

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

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2016, and held for the entire period until October 31, 2016.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

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

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

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

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

Event Driven, Global Real Estate Securities, Global Multifactor Macro, and Managed Futures Strategy are classified as “non-diversified” funds, as defined under the 1940 Act.

The Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved the reorganization of each series of Transamerica Partners Funds Group, Transamerica Partners Funds Group II and Transamerica Partners Portfolios into new and existing Funds within the Trust.

Following are the proposed reorganizations into an existing destination Fund which (as of October 31, 2016) offered only Class I2 shares:

 

Target Fund    Destination Fund

Transamerica Partners Core Bond

   Intermediate Bond

Transamerica Partners Institutional Core Bond

  

Transamerica Partners Core Bond Portfolio

  

Each proposed reorganization is subject to target fund shareholder approval and other closing conditions. The target funds would receive newly-issued Class R, Class R4 or Class I3 shares, as applicable, in the reorganization.

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

Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) serves as investment manager for the Funds. TAM provides continuous and regular investment management services to the Funds. TAM supervises each Fund’s investments, conducts its investment program and provides supervisory, compliance and administrative services to the Funds.

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 a Fund without the use of a sub-adviser. When acting as a manager of managers, TAM provides investment management services that include, without limitation, the design and development of the Funds and their investment strategies and the ongoing review and evaluation of those investment strategies including recommending changes in strategy where it believes appropriate or advisable; the selection of one or more sub-advisers for the Funds 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 and evaluation of sub-adviser performance; daily monitoring of the sub-advisers’ buying and selling of securities for the Funds; regular review of 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 Board, participation in these meetings and preparation of regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation, and review, of prospectuses, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and 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 management services. TAM, not the Funds, is responsible for paying the sub-advisers for their services, and sub-advisory fees are TAM’s expense.

Effective March 1, 2016, TAM’s investment management services also include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to the Funds. These services include performing certain administrative services for the Funds and supervising and overseeing the administrative, clerical, recordkeeping and bookkeeping services provided to the Funds by State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), to whom TAM has outsourced the provision of certain services as described below; to the extent agreed upon by TAM and the Funds from time to time, monitoring and verifying the custodian’s daily calculation of Net Asset Values (“NAV”); shareholder relations functions; compliance services; valuation services; assisting in due diligence and in oversight and monitoring of certain activities of sub-advisers and certain aspects of fund investments; assisting with fund combinations and liquidations; oversight of the preparation and filing, and review, of all returns and reports, in connection with federal, state and local taxes; oversight and review of regulatory reporting; supervising and coordinating the Funds’ custodian and dividend disbursing agent and monitoring their services to the Funds; assisting the Funds in preparing reports to shareholders; acting as liaison with the Funds’ independent public accountants and providing, upon request, analyses, fiscal year summaries and other audit related services; assisting in the preparation of agendas and supporting documents for and minutes of meetings of trustees and committees of trustees; assisting in the preparation of regular communications with the trustees; and providing personnel and office space, telephones and other office equipment as necessary in order for TAM to perform supervisory and administrative services to the Funds. Prior to March 1, 2016, Transamerica Funds Services, Inc. (“TFS”) provided administrative services to the Funds.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

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

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

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

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

Distributions to shareholders: Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Foreign taxes: The Funds may be subjected to taxes imposed by the countries in which they invest, with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. The Funds may also be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable when the related income or capital gains are earned or unrealized, and based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which the Funds invest. Some countries require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital, or the proceeds of sales earned by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions of foreign capital remittances abroad.

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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Payables, if any, are reflected as Due to custodian in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Expenses, if any, from U.S. cash overdrafts are reflected in Custody fees within the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations. Expenses, if any, from foreign cash overdrafts are reflected in Other expenses within the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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

Commissions recaptured are included in Net realized gain (loss) within the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the year ended October 31, 2016, commissions recaptured are listed below. Funds not listed in the subsequent table do not have any commissions recaptured during the year ended October 31, 2016.

Statement of cash flows: GAAP requires entities providing financial statements that report both a financial position and results of operations to also provide a Statement of Cash Flows for each period for which results of operations are provided, but exempts investment companies meeting certain conditions. These conditions may include the enterprise had little or no debt, based on the average debt outstanding during the period, or little or no illiquid investments, in relation to average total assets. Funds with certain degrees of borrowing activity, typically through the use of sale-buyback financing transactions, line of credit borrowing, short sale transactions, or illiquid investments have been determined to be at a level requiring a Statement of Cash Flows. Statements of Cash Flows have been prepared for Event Driven and Long/Short Strategy using the indirect method which requires net change in net assets resulting from operations to be adjusted to reconcile to net cash flows from operating activities.

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

3. SECURITY VALUATION

All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. The Funds value their investments at the official close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) each day the NYSE is open for business.

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The three levels (“Levels”) of inputs of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

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

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

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

3. SECURITY VALUATION (continued)

 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different Levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the Level in the fair value hierarchy that is assigned to the fair value measurement of a security is determined based on the lowest Level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Certain investments that are measured at fair value using NAV per share, or its equivalent, practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value levels. The hierarchy classification of inputs used to value the Funds’ investments, at October 31, 2016, is disclosed within the Security Valuation section of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETF”): Investment companies are valued at the NAV of the underlying funds. These securities are actively traded and no valuation adjustments are applied. ETFs are stated at the last reported sale price or closing price on the day of valuation taken from the primary exchange where the security is principally traded. Investment companies and ETFs are generally categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments in privately held investment funds with significant restrictions on redemptions where the inputs of NAVs are unobservable will be valued based upon the NAVs of such investments and are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

3. SECURITY VALUATION (continued)

 

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

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

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

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

Loan assignments: Loan assignments are normally valued using an income approach, which projects future cash flows and converts those future cash flows to a present value using a discount rate. The resulting present value reflects the likely fair value of the loan. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would generally be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise are categorized in Level 3.

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

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

Repurchase agreements: Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Rights and warrants: Rights and warrants may be priced intrinsically using a model that incorporates the subscription or strike price, the daily market price for the underlying security, and a subscription ratio. If the inputs are unavailable, or if the subscription or strike price is higher than the market price, then the rights or warrants are priced at zero. Rights or warrants are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

Short-term notes: The Funds normally value short-term government and U.S. government agency securities using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers and reference data. Certain securities are valued by principally using dealer quotations. Short-term government and U.S. government agency securities generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

Commercial paper is valued using amortized cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

U.S. government agency securities: U.S. government agency securities are comprised of two main categories consisting of agency issued debt and mortgage pass-throughs. Generally, agency issued debt securities are valued in a manner similar to U.S. government securities. Mortgage pass-throughs include to be announced (“TBA”) securities and mortgage pass-through certificates. Generally, TBA securities and mortgage pass-throughs are valued using dealer quotations. Depending on market activity levels and whether quotations or other observable data are used, these securities are typically categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they would be categorized in Level 3.

3. SECURITY VALUATION (continued)

 

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

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

4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

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

Each Fund, based on its ability to invest in Loan Participations and Assignments, may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent banks and/or borrowers prior to the sale of these investments. The Funds that participate in such syndications, or that can buy a portion of the loans, become part lenders. Loans are often administered by agent banks acting as agents for all holders.

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

The Funds held no unsecured loan participations at October 31, 2016. Open secured loan participations and assignments at October 31, 2016, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Real estate investment trusts (“REIT”): REITs are pooled investment vehicles which invest primarily in income producing real estate, or real estate related loans or interests. Dividend income related to a REIT is recorded at management’s estimate of the income and capital gains included in distributions from the REIT investments. Distributions received in excess of the estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after the fiscal year end and may differ from the estimated amounts. There are certain additional risks involved in investing in REITs. These include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, real estate values, property taxes, and interest rates.

REITs held at October 31, 2016, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

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

Restricted and illiquid securities held at October 31, 2016, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

At October 31, 2016

 

4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS (continued)

 

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

TBA commitments held at October 31, 2016, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Open balances at October 31, 2016, if any, are included in When-issued, delayed-delivery, and forward commitment purchased or sold within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

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

TIPS held at October 31, 2016, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments. The adjustments, if any, to principal due to inflation/deflation are reflected as increases/decreases to Interest income in the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations, with a corresponding adjustment to Investments, at cost within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

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

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

When-issued, delayed-delivery, and forward commitment transactions held at October 31, 2016, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Open trades, if any, are reflected as When-issued, delayed-delivery, and forward commitment securities purchased or sold within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

5. BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

The Funds 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 their investment policies, to raise additional cash to be invested in other securities or instruments. When the Funds invest borrowing proceeds in other securities, the Funds 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. The Funds may borrow on a secured or on an unsecured basis. If the Funds enter into a secured borrowing arrangement, a portion of the Funds’ assets will be used as collateral. The 1940 Act requires the Funds to maintain asset coverage of at least 300% of the amount of their borrowings. Asset coverage means the ratio that the value of the Funds’ 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 Funds may borrow, it does not otherwise mitigate the risks of entering into borrowing transactions.

5. BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

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

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

The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at October 31, 2016, if any, are shown on a gross basis within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Reverse repurchase agreements: The Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements in which the Funds sell portfolio securities and agree to repurchase them from the buyer at a specified date and price. The Funds may utilize reverse repurchase agreements when it is anticipated that the interest income to be earned from the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the reverse repurchase agreements, the Funds’ custodian must segregate assets with an aggregate market value greater than or equal to 100% of the repurchase price. In periods of increased demand for the security, the Funds may receive a fee for use of the security by the counterparty, which may result in interest income to the Funds. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and also the risk that the market value of the securities that the Funds are obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. The Funds are subject to the risk that the buyer under the agreement may file for bankruptcy, become insolvent, or otherwise default on its obligations to the Funds. In the event of a default by the counterparty, there may be delays, costs and risks of loss involved in the Funds exercising their rights under the agreement, or those rights may be limited by other contractual agreements.

For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Funds’ average borrowings are as follows:

Open reverse repurchase agreements at October 31, 2016, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Sale-buyback: The Funds may enter into sale-buyback financing transactions. The Funds account for sale-buyback financing transactions as borrowing transactions and realize gains and losses on these transactions at the end of the roll period. Sale-buyback financing transactions involve sales by the Funds of securities and simultaneously contracts to repurchase the same or substantially similar securities at an agreed upon price and date.

The Funds forgo principal and interest paid during the roll period on the securities sold in a sale-buyback financing transaction. The Funds are compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the price for the future purchase (often referred to as the “price drop”), as well as by any interest earned on the proceeds of the securities sold. Sale-buyback financing transactions may be renewed with a new sale and a repurchase price and a cash settlement made at each renewal without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract. Sale-buyback financing transactions expose the Funds to risks such as, the buyer under the agreement may file for bankruptcy, become insolvent, or otherwise default on its obligations to the Funds, the market value of the securities the Funds are obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. The Funds’ obligations under a sale-buyback typically would be offset by liquid assets equal in value to the amount of the Funds’ forward commitment to repurchase the subject security. Sale-buyback financing transactions accounted for as borrowing transactions are excluded from the Funds’ turnover rates. The Funds recognize price drop fee income on a straight line basis over the period of the roll. For the year ended October 31, 2016, Total Return earned price drop fee income of $37,993. The price drop fee income is included in Interest income in the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The outstanding payable for securities to be repurchased, if any, is included in Payable for sale-buyback financing transactions in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The interest expense is included in Interest

Open sale-buyback financing transactions at October 31, 2016, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

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

Repurchase agreements are subject to netting agreements, which are agreements between the Funds and their counterparties that provide for the net settlement of all transactions and collateral with the Funds, through a single payment, in the event of default or termination. Amounts presented on the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments, and as part of Repurchase agreements, at value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities are shown on a gross basis. The value of the related collateral for each repurchase agreement, as reflected within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments, exceeds the value of each repurchase agreement at October 31, 2016.

Repurchase agreements at October 31, 2016, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Line of credit: Event Driven has entered into an agreement with Citibank, N.A. to provide a $60 million committed line of credit to the Fund to be utilized for the purpose of purchasing or carrying securities. An upfront facility fee, calculated as 0.25% of the entire commitment amount, was due to Citibank, N.A. on the closing date of the agreement. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at a rate per year of 1.20% plus the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees of 0.15% per year on the unused portion of the line of credit during the preceding calendar month. The facility fee is included in Other expenses, and the interest expense and commitment fees are included in Interest within the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For the year ended October 31, 2016 the Fund’s average borrowings are as follows:

Short sales: A short sale is a transaction in which the Funds sell securities they do not own, but have borrowed, in anticipation of a decline in the fair market value of the securities. The Funds are obligated to replace the borrowed securities at the market price at the time of replacement. The Funds’ obligation to replace the securities borrowed in connection with a short sale is fully secured by collateral deposited with the custodian. In addition, the Funds consider the short sale to be a borrowing by the Funds that is subject to the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act. Short sales represent an aggressive trading practice with a high risk/return potential, and short sales involve special considerations. Risks of short sales include that possible losses from short sales may be unlimited (e.g., if the price of stocks sold short rises), whereas losses from direct purchases of securities are limited to the total amount invested, and the Funds may be unable to replace borrowed securities sold short.

The Funds investing in short sales are liable for any dividends and/or interest payable on securities in a short position and these payables, if any, are reflected as Dividends, interest and fees for borrowings from securities sold short within the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Funds also bear other costs, such as charges for the prime brokerage accounts, in connection with short positions. These costs are reported as Dividends, interest and fees for borrowings from securities sold short within the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

6. RISK EXPOSURES AND THE USE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Funds’ investment objectives allow the Funds to use various types of derivative contracts, including option contracts, swap agreements, futures contracts, and forward foreign currency contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.

Market Risk Factors: In pursuit of the Funds’ investment objectives, the Funds may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease their exposure to the following market risks:

Interest rate risk: Interest rate risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of fixed income securities due to changes in the prevailing levels of market interest rates.

Foreign exchange rate risk: Foreign exchange rate risk relates to fluctuations in the value of an asset or liability due to changes in the currency exchange rates.

Equity risk: Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Credit risk: Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of a financial instrument to make further principal or interest payments on an obligation or commitment that it has to the Funds.

Commodity risk: Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indices as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

The Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Funds will be unable to sell or close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligations to the Funds. Investing in derivatives may also involve greater risks than investing directly in the underlying assets, such as losses in excess of any initial investment and collateral received. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

The Funds’ exposure to market risk factors and other associated risks are discussed by derivative type as follows:

Option contracts: The Funds are subject to equity risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds may enter into option contracts to manage exposure to various market fluctuations. The Funds may purchase or write call and put options on securities and derivative instruments in which each Fund owns or may invest. Options are valued at the average of the bid and ask price established each day at the close of the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options are marked-to-market daily to reflect the current value of the option. The primary risks associated with options are an imperfect correlation between the change in value of the securities held and the prices of the option contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and an inability of the counterparty to meet the contract terms. Options can be traded through an exchange or through privately negotiated arrangements with a dealer in an OTC transaction. Options traded on an exchange are generally cleared through a clearinghouse such as the Options Clearing Corp.

Options on exchange-traded funds and/or securities: The Funds may purchase or write options on ETFs and/or securities. Purchasing or writing options on ETFs and/or securities gives the Funds the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell a specified ETF and/or security as an underlying instrument for the option contract.

6. RISK EXPOSURES AND THE USE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS (continued)

 

Options on futures: The Funds may purchase or write options on futures. Purchasing or writing options on futures gives the Funds the right, but not obligation to buy or sell a position on a futures contract at the specified option exercise price at any time during the period of the option.

Options on foreign currency: The Funds may purchase or write foreign currency options. Purchasing or writing options on foreign currency gives the Funds the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell the currency and will specify the amount of currency and a rate of exchange that may be exercised by a specified date.

Interest rate swaptions: The Funds may purchase or write interest rate swaption agreements which are options to enter into a pre-defined swap agreement by some specific date in the future. The writer of the swaption becomes the counterparty to the swap if the buyer exercises. The interest rate swaption agreement will specify whether the buyer of the swaption will be a fixed-rate receiver or a fixed-rate payer upon exercise.

Purchased options: Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. The Funds pay premiums, which are included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid from options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying instrument to determine the realized gain or loss.

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

Open option contracts at October 31, 2016, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

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

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

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

Under a credit default swap agreement, one party acts as a guarantor by receiving the fixed periodic payment in exchange for the commitment to purchase the underlying security at par if the defined credit event occurs (sell protection). The Funds’ maximum risk of

loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the notional amount of the contract. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Funds and the counterparty, and by the posting of collateral.

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

Interest rate swap agreements: The Funds are subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. Because the Funds hold fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To help hedge against this risk, the Funds enter into interest rate swap agreements. Under an interest rate swap agreement, two parties will exchange cash flows based on a notional principal amount. Funds with interest rate agreements can elect to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate, or receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate, on a notional principal amount. The risks of interest rate swap agreements include changes in market conditions which will affect the value of the contract or the cash flows, and the possible inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the agreement. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparties over the contracts’ remaining lives, to the extent that amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Funds and the counterparty, and by the posting of collateral.

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

Open centrally cleared swap agreements at October 31, 2016, if any, are listed in the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Centrally cleared swap agreements are marked-to-market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the variation margin is recorded, if applicable, and is shown in Variation margin receivable or payable within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Open OTC swap agreements at October 31, 2016, if any, are listed in the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments. The value, as applicable, is shown in OTC Swap agreements, at value within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Futures contracts: The Funds are subject to equity and commodity risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities and commodities, interest rates, or foreign currencies. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, the Funds are required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or in securities, an initial margin in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid or received by the Funds, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Funds. Upon entering into such contracts, the Funds bear the risk of equity and commodity prices, interest rates, or exchange rates moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize losses. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange.

Open futures contracts at October 31, 2016, if any, are listed within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Variation margin, if applicable, is shown in Variation margin receivable or payable within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Forward foreign currency contracts: The Funds are subject to foreign exchange rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against exchange rate risk arising from investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies. Additionally, Managed Futures Strategy utilizes forward foreign currency contracts for speculative purposes. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily, with the change in value recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contracts are settled, a realized gain or loss is incurred. Risks may arise from changes in market value of the underlying currencies and from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Forward foreign currency contracts are traded in the OTC inter-bank currency dealer market.

Open forward foreign currency contracts at October 31, 2016, if any, are listed within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

The following is a summary of the location and each Fund’s fair values of derivative investments disclosed, if any, within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by primary market risk exposure as of October 31, 2016. Funds not listed in the subsequent tables do not have derivative investments during the year ended October 31, 2016.

The Funds typically enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) or similar master agreements (collectively, “Master Agreements”) with their contract counterparties for certain OTC derivatives in order to, among other things, reduce its credit risk to counterparties.

ISDA Master Agreements include provisions for general obligations, representations, collateral and events of default or termination. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Funds typically may offset with the counterparty certain OTC derivative financial instruments payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment (close-out netting) in the event of default, termination and/or potential deterioration in the credit quality of the counterparty.

Various Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions with counterparties and typically attempt to reduce the counterparty risk associated with such transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Cross-termination provisions under Master Agreements typically provide that a default in connection with one transaction between the Funds and a counterparty gives the non-defaulting party the right to terminate any other transactions in place with the defaulting party to create one single net payment due to/due from the defaulting party and may be a feature in certain Master Agreements. In the event the Funds exercise their right to terminate a Master Agreement after a counterparty experiences a termination event as defined in the Master Agreement, the return of collateral with market value in excess of the Funds’ net liability may be delayed or denied.

Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange-traded derivatives (futures contracts, exchange-traded options, and exchange-traded swap agreements) while collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives (forward foreign currency exchange contracts, OTC options, and OTC swap agreements). For OTC derivatives, under standard derivatives agreements, the Funds may be required to post collateral on derivatives if the Funds are in a net liability position with the counterparty exceeding certain amounts. Additionally, counterparties may immediately terminate derivatives contracts if the Funds fail to maintain sufficient asset coverage for its contracts or its net assets decline by stated percentages.

The following is a summary of the Funds’ OTC derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement and net of the related collateral received/pledged by the Funds as of October 31, 2016. For financial

7. RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in the Funds may involve certain risks, as discussed in the Funds’ prospectuses, including but not limited to the following:

Arbitrage strategy risk: Securities purchased pursuant to an arbitrage strategy intend to take advantage of a perceived relationship between the values of two or more securities and may not perform as expected.

Emerging market risk: Investments in the securities of issuers located in or principally doing business in emerging markets are subject to foreign investments risks. These risks are greater for investments in issuers in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to have economic, political and legal systems that are less fully developed and are less stable than those of more developed countries. Emerging market securities are often particularly sensitive to market movements because these market prices tend to reflect speculative expectations. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and in extreme price volatility.

Fixed income risk: The market prices of fixed income securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and 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. In addition, the market value of a fixed income security may decline if the issuer or other obligor of the security fails to pay principal and/or interest, otherwise defaults or has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines.

Foreign investment risk: Investing in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involves additional risk. Foreign countries may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of investments may decline because of factors affecting a particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, political or financial instability or other adverse economic or political developments. Lack of information and weaker accounting standards also may affect the value of these securities.

Growth risk: Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with returns on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks may be particularly susceptible to larger price swings or to adverse developments. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.

High-yield debt risk: High-yield debt securities, commonly referred to as “junk bonds,” are securities that are rated below “investment grade” (securities rated below Baa/BBB) or, if unrated, determined to be below investment grade by the sub-adviser. Changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers and the creditworthiness of the issuers may significantly affect the value of these bonds. Junk bonds are considered speculative, have a higher risk of default, tend to be less liquid and may be more difficult to value than higher grade securities. Junk bonds tend to be volatile and more susceptible to adverse events and negative sentiments.

Real estate investment trusts (“REIT”) and real estate risk: Investments in the real estate industry and REITs are subject to risks associated with direct investment in real estate. These risks include declines in the value of real estate, adverse general and local economic conditions, increased competition, overbuilding and changes in operating expenses, property taxes or interest rates. REITs may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. In addition, REITs are subject to a number of highly technical tax-related rules and requirements; and the failure to qualify as a REIT could result in corporate-level taxation, significantly reducing the return on an investment.

Small and medium capitalization risk: Small or medium capitalization companies may be more at risk than large capitalization companies because, among other things, they may have limited product lines, operating history, market or financial resources, or because they may depend on a limited management group. The prices of securities of small and medium capitalization companies generally are more volatile than those of large capitalization companies and are more likely to be adversely affected by changes in earnings results and investor expectations or poor economic or market conditions than large capitalization companies. Securities of small and medium capitalization companies may underperform large capitalization companies, may be harder to sell at times and at prices the portfolio managers believe appropriate, and may offer greater potential for losses.

8. BASIS FOR CONSOLIDATION

Transamerica Cayman Global Multifactor Macro, Ltd. and Transamerica Cayman Managed Futures Strategy, Ltd. (each, a “Subsidiary”: collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) are organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands as wholly-owned subsidiaries which act as investment vehicles for Global Multifactor Macro and Managed Futures Strategy, respectively.

12. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

The Funds have not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to their policy to distribute all of their taxable income and capital gains to their shareholders and otherwise qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The Funds’ federal and state tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities for the prior three years. Management has evaluated the Funds’ tax provisions taken for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. If applicable, the Funds recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and penalties expense in Other on the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, the state of Colorado, and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to different treatment for items including, but not limited to, wash sales, swaps, net operating losses,

distribution reclasses for REITs, passive foreign investment companies, foreign currency transactions, security sold short, TIPS, defaulted bond income, partnership basis adjustments, futures contracts, options contracts, non-real estate investment trust return of capital dividends, distribution re-designations, capital gains tax reclass and straddle deferral. Therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. The primary permanent differences are due to swaps, net operating losses, distribution re-designations, dividend expense reclass, paydown gain/loss, passive foreign investment companies, foreign currency transactions, paydown gain/loss, excise taxes, TIPS, capital gains tax reclass, investment in wholly owned foreign subsidiaries and return of capital distributions from underlying investments. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or results of operations. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences. These permanent reclassifications are as follows:

13. RECLASSIFICATION

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations. The Trust concluded that it was appropriate to classify borrowing costs, which relate to charges from a broker for securities sold short positions, as an expense which is included in Dividends, interest and fees for borrowings from securities sold short within the Statements of Operations. Previously, the borrowing costs had been included in Net realized gain/(loss) on securities sold short within the Statements of Operations. Corresponding reclassifications have been made to Net investment income (loss) and Realized gain (loss) within the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, and Net investment income (loss) per share, Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share and Expenses to average net asset ratios within the Financial Highlights. The impact of the reclassification is an increase to realized gain (loss) and total expenses, and a decrease in net investment income. All impacted amounts, as identified within the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights have been adjusted for purposes of comparability.

14. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In October 2016, the SEC adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together the, “Final Rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the Final Rules amend Regulation S-X and require

standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the implication, if any, of the additional disclosure requirements and its impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

15. CUSTODY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE

In December 2015, State Street Bank and Trust Co., the Funds’ custodian, identified inconsistencies in the way in which clients were invoiced for categories of expenses, particularly those deemed out-of-pocket costs, during an 18-year period going back to 1998. The issue was the result of inaccurate billing rates that were not subsequently reviewed or adjusted. The amount of the difference in what was charged and what should have been charged, plus interest, was paid back to the Funds in September 2016 as a reimbursement. The amounts applicable to each Fund, if any, were recognized as a change in accounting estimate and are reflected in Reimbursement of custody fees within the Statements of Operations. This resulted in a decrease in Net expenses and an overall increase in Net assets.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

The Board approved the launch of an Advisor class shares for various Funds within the Trust. The additional classes will commence operations on or about December 16, 2016.

The Board approved the registration of I share class for Event Driven. Class I share is intended to meet the needs and expectations of retirement plan participants and plan sponsors, and may be purchased by participants in certain retirement plans such as 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer sponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase plans, defined-benefit plans, non-qualified deferred compensation plans and IRAs. The Class I shares of Event Driven will commence operations on or about November 11, 2016. TAM would have discretion to launch the new share class for the remainder of the fund at a later date.

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Transamerica Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Transamerica Core Bond, Transamerica Developing Markets Equity, Transamerica Event Driven, Transamerica Global Real Estate Securities, Transamerica Intermediate Bond, Transamerica International Equity Opportunities, Transamerica International Small Cap, Transamerica Long/Short Strategy, Transamerica Mid Cap Value and Transamerica Total Return, as of October 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein. We have also audited the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedules of investments, of Transamerica Global Multifactor Macro and Transamerica Managed Futures Strategy, as of October 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein. We have also audited the related statements of cash flows of Transamerica Event Driven and Transamerica Long/Short Strategy for the year ended October 31, 2016. The aforementioned twelve funds of the Transamerica Funds are hereafter referred to as the “Funds.” These financial statements and consolidated financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and consolidated financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and consolidated financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the aforementioned twelve Funds of the Transamerica Funds at October 31, 2016, the results of their operations and consolidated operations, the changes in their net assets and the changes in their consolidated net assets, their cash flows and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(unaudited)

 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica Funds (the “Trustees” or the “Board”) held on June 8-9, 2016, the Board considered the renewal of the management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) between Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) and Transamerica Funds, on behalf of each of the following funds (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”):

Following its review and consideration, the Board determined that the terms of the Management Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable and that the renewal of each of the Agreements was in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the renewal of each of the Agreements through June 30, 2017. Prior to reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and received from TAM and each Sub-Adviser certain information. They then reviewed such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreements, including information they had previously received from TAM and each Sub-Adviser as part of their regular oversight of each Fund. The Trustees considered comparative fee, expense and performance information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of mutual fund performance information, as well as fee, expense and profitability information prepared by TAM. To the extent applicable, the Trustees also considered information about fees and performance of comparable funds and/or accounts managed by each Sub-Adviser.

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided

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

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

(unaudited)

 

The Board also considered the continuous and regular investment management and other services provided by TAM for the portion of the management fee it retains from each Fund after payment of the sub-advisory fees. The Trustees noted that, at a meeting held on December 9-10, 2015, they had approved the combination of the Funds’ former Investment Advisory Agreement and Administrative Service Agreement into the Management Agreement in connection with the transition of the personnel and operations of Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. that relate to the provision of administrative services into TAM. They noted that this combination of agreements had resulted in each Fund paying a single management fee for investment advisory and administrative services. The Board noted that the investment management and other services provided by TAM include the design, development and ongoing review and evaluation of each Fund and its investment strategy; the selection, oversight and monitoring of one or more investment sub-advisers to perform certain duties with respect to the Funds; ongoing portfolio trading oversight and analysis; risk management oversight and analysis; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the valuation of Fund investments; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a compliance program for the Funds; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the voting of proxies and exercise of rights to consent to corporate action for Fund investments; participation in Board meetings and oversight of preparation of materials for the Board, including materials for Board meetings and regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation of the Funds’ prospectuses, statements of additional information, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and regulatory filings for the Funds; and ongoing cash management services. The Board considered that TAM’s investment management services also include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to each Fund. The Board also noted that TAM, as part of the services it provides to all Transamerica mutual funds, including the Funds, oversees the services provided by the funds’ custodian, transfer agent, independent accountant and legal counsel and supervises the performance of the recordkeeping and shareholder functions of the funds.

Investment Performance

In addition, the Board considered the short- and longer-term performance, as applicable, of each Fund in light of its investment objective, policies and strategies, including relative performance against (i) a peer universe of comparable mutual funds, as prepared by Lipper, and (ii) the Fund’s benchmark(s), in each case for various trailing periods ended December 31, 2015.

Transamerica Commodity Strategy. The Board noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was in line with the median for its peer universe for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above its benchmark for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods.

Transamerica Global Real Estate Securities. The Board noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 10-year period, in line with the median for the past 1- and 5-year periods and below the median for the past 3-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was below its benchmark for the past 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. The Trustees observed that the performance of the Fund had improved during 2016.

Transamerica Intermediate Bond. The Board noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 1-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was below its benchmark for the past 1-year period.

Transamerica International Equity Opportunities. The Board noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 5-year period, in line with the median for the past 1-year period and below the median for the past 3-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above its benchmark for the past 5-year period and below its benchmark for the past 1- and 3-year periods.

Transamerica International Small Cap. The Board noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 1- and 3-year periods and in line with the median for the past 5-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above its benchmark for the past 1-year period and below its benchmark for the past 3- and 5-year periods.

Transamerica Long/Short Strategy. The Board noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was below the median for its peer universe for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above its primary benchmark for the past 3- and 5-year periods and below its primary benchmark for the past 1-year period. The Trustees discussed the reasons for the underperformance with TAM and TAM agreed to continue to closely monitor and report to the Board on the performance of the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund’s sub-adviser had commenced subadvising the Fund on January 6, 2011 pursuant to its current investment strategies.

Transamerica Managed Futures Strategy. The Board noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was below its benchmark for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods.

Transamerica Mid Cap Value. The Board noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above its benchmark for the past 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods.

Transamerica Total Return. The Board noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 1- and 10-year periods and below the median for the past 3- and 5-year periods. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above its benchmark for the past 1- and 10-year periods and below its benchmark for the past 3- and 5-year periods.

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

Management and Sub-Advisory Fees and Total Expense Ratios

The Board considered the management fee and total expense ratio of each Fund, including information provided by Lipper comparing the management fee and total expense ratio of each Fund to the management fees and total expense ratios of comparable investment companies in both a peer group and broader peer universe compiled by Lipper. The Board also considered the fees charged by the Sub-Advisers for sub-advisory services, as well as the portion of a Fund’s management fee retained by TAM following payment of the sub-advisory fee(s) and how the portion of the contractual management fee retained by TAM at a specified asset level compared to the portions retained by other investment advisers managing mutual funds with similar investment strategies as calculated by Strategic Insight and/or Lipper, each an independent provider of information.

Transamerica Commodity Strategy. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee and the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class I2 Shares of the Fund were below the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica Core Bond. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was in line with the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class I2 Shares of the Fund were below the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica Developing Markets Equity. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class I2 Shares of the Fund were in line with the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica Managed Futures Strategy. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was below the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class I2 Shares of the Fund were below the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica Mid Cap Value. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was below the median for its peer group and in line with the median for its peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class I2 Shares of the Fund were below the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica Total Return. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee and the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class I2 Shares of the Fund were above the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

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

Cost of Services Provided and Level of Profitability

The Board reviewed information provided by TAM about the cost of providing and procuring fund management services, as well as the costs of the provision of administration, transfer agency and other services, to each Fund and to Transamerica Funds as a whole by TAM and its affiliates. The Board considered the profitability of TAM and its affiliates in providing these services for each Fund and

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

(unaudited)

 

Transamerica Funds as a whole, as well as the allocation methodology used for calculating profitability. The Board also considered the assessment prepared by Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to the Funds, to assist the Board’s evaluation of TAM’s profitability analysis. E&Y’s engagement included the review and assessment of the revenue and expense allocation methodology used by TAM to estimate its profitability with respect to its relationship with the Funds, and completion of procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of the profitability calculation and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering E&Y’s assessment and information provided by TAM, the Board concluded that, while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, TAM’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

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

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

Economies of Scale

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

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

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

Other Considerations

The Board noted that TAM has made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel and maintains the financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage each Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board favorably considered the procedures and policies TAM has in place to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Advisers. The Board also noted that TAM has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Funds.

Conclusion

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

Transamerica Funds   Annual Report 2016


Table of Contents

Dear Shareholder,

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

This annual report is provided to you to show the investments of your Fund(s). The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that annual and semi-annual reports be sent to all shareholders, and we believe it to be an important part of the investment process. This report provides detailed information about your Fund(s) for the 12-month period ending October, 31, 2016.

We believe it is important to understand market conditions over the last year to provide a context for reading this report. At the beginning of the 1-year period that began on November 1, 2015, investors were trying to determine what rapidly declining oil prices - which had fallen from over $100 per barrel at the cyclical high to less than half that value by year end - would mean for markets. Adding more uncertainty toward year-end 2015 was the Federal Reserve’s (“Fed”) decision to finally raise the Fed funds rate by 0.25% in December, the first increase since 2006.

As the calendar turned to 2016, rapidly falling energy and commodity prices coupled with a weak U.S. gross domestic product report and weakness in overseas markets pressured U.S. equities, as concerns of a pending recession became more prevalent. In the months to follow however energy prices rebounded and economic growth remained positive thereby avoiding recessionary levels. Global markets sold off in late June following Great Britain’s surprise referendum vote in favor of departure from the European Union, (“Brexit”). Following the immediate negative reaction to this news, U.S. stocks recovered, and equity markets soon reached new all-time highs.

U.S. markets stayed range bound for most of the late summer and into the fall, with only a single bout of meaningful volatility in September when commentary from certain Fed Governors suggested that the case for a September rate hike was strengthening. That volatility proved temporary as September passed with no policy change at the central bank, and markets began to focus on the Fed meeting in December as the next possible target for a hike. The rising likelihood of rate increases resulted in the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield moving higher, and by October 31st had increased to 1.84% from a July low of 1.37%.

For the 1-year period ending October 31, 2016, the S&P 500® returned 4.51% while the MSCI EAFE Index, representing international developed market equities, lost (2.74)%. During the same period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 4.37%. Please keep in mind that it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio as investment returns have historically been difficult to predict.

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

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

Sincerely,

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Over the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, equity markets were generally up but had two significant drawdowns. The period started with a decline in oil prices through early 2016. By January 2016, markets grew fearful of a slowing global economy, leading to the first major drawdown of the period. Investors were concerned that a potential hard landing for China’s economy along with the collapse in the U.S. shale oil industry could lead to a global economic slowdown. Equity and energy markets both bottomed in late February. They recovered as the Chinese, U.S. and European central banks stepped in to reassure investors.

Through June equity markets continued their recovery from the February lows. But while markets were paying attention to economic conditions and the undertakings of central banks, the uncertainty around Great Britain potentially leaving the European Union (“Brexit”) took center stage. The decision to leave took equity markets by surprise, causing the second major drawdown of the period. However, markets rebounded over the next week as central bankers once again offered support to the financial system, and market participants realized that nothing drastic was going to happen in the immediate future.

The last quarter of the period saw the S&P 500® reach record highs in mid-August, while volatility (as measured by the CBOE VIX Index) was near two-year lows; investor confidence was buoyed by a relatively strong U.S. jobs report, and Brexit fears continued to wane. Monetary policy remained at the fore in September, with central banks across the G10 (Group of Ten industrialized nations) leaving rates unchanged. However, there were some rumblings beneath the surface in the U.S., as three Federal Reserve Governors voted to raise rates. Other central banks left their policy rates unchanged in September as global growth remained relatively weak and inflation stayed low. The period ended on a down note, though, with the uncertainty of the U.S. elections overhanging the markets.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, ClearTrack® 2015 Class R6 returned 2.11%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Dow Jones Target 2015 Index, returned 4.93%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund is managed to the specific target date included in its name, which is intended to coincide, generally, with an investor’s retirement year. The Fund follows a particular glide path in which, over time, its target asset mix will gradually become more conservative until approximately 10 years after the target date, when the target asset mix will become static.

The glide path includes the use of a dynamic rebalancing strategy in the five years leading up to and after retirement, which seeks to limit an investor’s exposure to extended periods of market declines. Rebalancing involves systematically raising the allocation to cash in response to rising volatility and declines in the portfolio’s net asset value. This strategy works best during extended market declines, and often falls short in sideways, or oscillating, markets. Over the last year, the Fund’s rebalancing was most active during the first quarter 2016, when markets experienced a significant drawdown in reaction to the China slowdown and falling oil prices. The Fund de-risked from fully allocated on January 1 to 50% allocated as the market bottomed on February 11. As markets sharply recovered, the Fund gradually re-risked, becoming fully allocated by mid-March. It was fully allocated to its strategic targets on October 31.

We had a positive absolute return over the period, with positive performance coming from all but one of our underlying holdings. Emerging markets equities was the best performing asset class, with the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF gaining 11.16%, followed by high yield, inflation protection and international fixed income. The sole negative was international equities, with the Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF declining (1.19)%.

The Fund underperformed its benchmark mainly due to the cash drag from re-risking throughout the year, followed by asset allocation and style selection. The de-risking mechanism helped as markets declined in January and February. However, as markets hit their inflection point and sharply recovered, the Fund was not able to re-risk at the velocity that the market rebounded, thus leading to a performance drag. Strategic asset allocation weighed as a result of an overweight in equities relative to our Dow Jones benchmark, specifically overweights in international equity and U.S. large cap. Style selection, or sub-asset class effect, negatively impacted the Fund, mostly from the Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF underperforming its policy benchmark.

(A) Dow Jones Target 2015 Index measures the performance of multi-asset-class portfolios with market risk profiles that become more conservative over time. Each Dow Jones Target Date Index is made up of composite indices representing equity securities, fixed income securities, and money market instruments. The asset class indices are weighted differently within each target date index depending on the time horizon. Each month, the allocations among the asset class indices are rebalanced to reflect an increasingly conservative asset mix.

The Dow Jones Target Date Indices are passively-managed indices designed to automatically adjust their asset allocations over time to reflect reductions in potential risk as an investor’s target date approaches. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

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

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

The Clear TrackSM target date options invest in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) which may represent a variety of broad asset classes including equity, fixed income, inflation-hedging, and short-term defensive instruments and may be subject to all of the risks of these asset classes. ETFs generally present the same risks as an investment in a conventional fund that has the same investment objectives, strategies, and policies. The market price of an ETF’s shares may be above or below the shares’ net asset value; and an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained. The allocations become more conservative over time: The fund’s asset mix allocated to equities will decrease while the percentage allocated to fixed income will increase as the target date approaches. The higher the allocation is to equities, the greater the risk. The principal value of the investment option is never guaranteed, including at and after the target date. Diversification does not assure a profit or product against market loss.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Over the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, equity markets were generally up but had two significant drawdowns. The period started with a decline in oil prices through early 2016. By January 2016, markets grew fearful of a slowing global economy, leading to the first major drawdown of the period. Investors were concerned that a potential hard landing for China’s economy along with the collapse in the U.S. shale oil industry could lead to a global economic slowdown. Equity and energy markets both bottomed in late February. They recovered as the Chinese, U.S. and European central banks stepped in to reassure investors.

Through June equity markets continued their recovery from the February lows. But while markets were paying attention to economic conditions and the undertakings of central banks, the uncertainty around Great Britain potentially leaving the European Union (“Brexit”) took center stage. The decision to leave took equity markets by surprise, causing the second major drawdown of the period. However, markets rebounded over the next week as central bankers once again offered support to the financial system, and market participants realized that nothing drastic was going to happen in the immediate future.

The last quarter of the period saw the S&P 500® reach record highs in mid-August, while volatility (as measured by the CBOE VIX Index) was near two-year lows; investor confidence was buoyed by a relatively strong U.S. jobs report, and Brexit fears continued to wane. Monetary policy remained at the fore in September, with central banks across the G10 (Group of Ten industrialized nations) leaving rates unchanged. However, there were some rumblings beneath the surface in the U.S., as three Federal Reserve Governors voted to raise rates. Other central banks left their policy rates unchanged in September as global growth remained relatively weak and inflation stayed low. The period ended on a down note, though, with the uncertainty of the U.S. elections overhanging the markets.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, ClearTrack® 2035 Class R6 returned 3.30%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Dow Jones Target 2035 Index, returned 4.20%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing in a combination of underlying Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) representing a variety of broad asset classes - equity, fixed income and inflation-hedging - and investment styles and focuses. Managed to the specific target date included in its name, the Fund is intended to coincide, generally, with an investor’s retirement year. It follows a particular glide path in which over time the target asset mix will gradually become more conservative until approximately 10 years after the target date, when the target asset mix will become static.

We had a positive absolute return over the period, with positive performance coming from all but one of our underlying holdings. Emerging markets equities was the best performing asset class, with the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF gaining 11.16%, followed by high yield, inflation protection and international fixed income. The sole negative was international equities, with the Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF declining (1.19)%.

The Fund underperformed its benchmark due mainly to style and asset class selection. Style selection, or sub-asset class selection, negatively impacted mostly from allocations to the Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF and Vanguard Total International Bond Fund ETF, which lagged their respective policy benchmarks. Underperformance from our asset allocation decision was due to our overweight in equity, particularly international equities.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Over the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, equity markets were generally up but had two significant drawdowns. The period started with a decline in oil prices through early 2016. By January 2016, markets grew fearful of a slowing global economy, leading to the first major drawdown of the period. Investors were concerned that a potential hard landing for China’s economy along with the collapse in the U.S. shale oil industry could lead to a global economic slowdown. Equity and energy markets both bottomed in late February. They recovered as the Chinese, U.S. and European central banks stepped in to reassure investors.

Through June equity markets continued their recovery from the February lows. But while markets were paying attention to economic conditions and the undertakings of central banks, the uncertainty around Great Britain potentially leaving the European Union (“Brexit”) took center stage. The decision to leave took equity markets by surprise, causing the second major drawdown of the period. However, markets rebounded over the next week as central bankers once again offered support to the financial system, and market participants realized that nothing drastic was going to happen in the immediate future.

The last quarter of the period saw the S&P 500® reach record highs in mid-August, while volatility (as measured by the CBOE VIX Index) was near two-year lows; investor confidence was buoyed by a relatively strong U.S. jobs report, and Brexit fears continued to wane. Monetary policy remained at the fore in September, with central banks across the G10 (Group of Ten industrialized nations) leaving rates unchanged. However, there were some rumblings beneath the surface in the U.S., as three U.S. Federal Reserve Governors voted to raise rates. Other central banks left their policy rates unchanged in September as global growth remained relatively weak and inflation stayed low. The period ended on a down note, though, with the uncertainty of the U.S. elections overhanging the markets.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2016, ClearTrack® Retirement Income Class R6 returned 4.01%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the ClearTrack® Retirement Income Blended Benchmark, returned 4.37% and 4.62%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing in a combination of underlying Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) representing a variety of broad asset classes - equity, fixed income and inflation-hedging - and investment styles and focuses. The Fund seeks the highest total return (a combination of income and long-term capital appreciation) over time consistent with its asset mix. The Fund follows a particular glide path in which the target asset mix becomes static 10 years post investors’ retirement date.

We had a positive absolute return over the period, with positive performance coming from all but one of our underlying holdings. Emerging markets equities was the best performing asset class, with the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF gaining 11.16%, followed by high yield, inflation protection and international fixed income. The sole negative was international equities, with the Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF declining (1.19)%.

The Fund underperformed its composite benchmark during the year. The relative underperformance was mainly due to style selection. Underperformance within U.S. real estate, high yield fixed income, and international fixed income led to the negative style selection effect.

The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

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

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

The Clear TrackSM target date options invest in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) which may represent a variety of broad asset classes including equity, fixed income, inflation-hedging, and short-term defensive instruments and may be subject to all of the risks of these asset classes. ETFs generally present the same risks as an investment in a conventional fund that has the same investment objectives, strategies, and policies. The market price of an ETF’s shares may be above or below the shares’ net asset value; and an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained. The allocations become more conservative over time: The fund’s asset mix allocated to equities will decrease while the percentage allocated to fixed income will increase as the target date approaches. The higher the allocation is to equities, the greater the risk. The principal value of the investment option is never guaranteed, including at and after the target date. Diversification does not assure a profit or product against market loss.

Understanding Your Funds’ Expenses

 

 

(unaudited)

 

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

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

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

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2016, and held for the entire period until October 31, 2016.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

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

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

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

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

1. ORGANIZATION

 

Transamerica Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust applies investment company accounting and reporting guidance. The funds (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are each a series of the Trust and are listed below. The Funds are generally offered in eligible retirement plans.

Each Fund, a “fund of fund”, invests the majority of its assets in underlying exchange-traded funds (“ETF”) that are based on an index and managed by unaffiliated investment advisers (hereafter referred to as “Underlying ETFs”). The financial statements of the Underlying ETFs, including the Schedule of Investments, should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ financial statements. The Underlying ETFs’ shareholder reports are not covered by this report.

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

Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) serves as investment manager for the Funds. TAM provides continuous and regular investment management services to the Funds. TAM supervises each Fund’s investments, conducts its investment program and provides supervisory, compliance and administrative services to the Funds.

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 a Fund without the use of a sub-adviser. When acting as a manager of managers, TAM provides investment management services that include, without limitation, the design and development of the Funds and their investment strategies and the ongoing review and evaluation of those investment strategies including recommending changes in strategy where it believes appropriate or advisable; the selection of one or more sub-advisers for the Funds 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 and evaluation of sub-adviser performance; daily monitoring of the sub-advisers’ buying and selling of securities for the Funds; regular review of 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 (the “Board”), participation in these meetings and preparation of regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation, and review, of prospectuses, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and 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 management services. TAM, not the Funds, is responsible for paying the sub-advisers for their services, and sub-advisory fees are TAM’s expense.

Effective March 1, 2016, TAM’s investment management services also include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to the Funds. These services include performing certain administrative services for the Funds and supervising and overseeing the administrative, clerical, recordkeeping and bookkeeping services provided to the Funds by State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), to whom TAM has outsourced the provision of certain services as described below; to the extent agreed upon by TAM and the Funds from time to time, monitoring and verifying the custodian’s daily calculation of Net Asset Values (“NAV”); shareholder relations functions; compliance services; valuation services; assisting in due diligence and in oversight and monitoring of certain activities of sub-advisers and certain aspects of fund investments; assisting with fund combinations and liquidations; oversight of the preparation and filing, and review, of all returns and reports, in connection with federal, state and local taxes; oversight and review of regulatory reporting; supervising and coordinating the Funds’ custodian and dividend disbursing agent and monitoring their services to the Funds; assisting the Funds in preparing reports to shareholders; acting as liaison with the Funds’ independent public accountants

and providing, upon request, analyses, fiscal year summaries and other audit related services; assisting in the preparation of agendas and supporting documents for and minutes of meetings of trustees and committees of trustees; assisting in the preparation of regular communications with the trustees; and providing personnel and office space, telephones and other office equipment as necessary in order for TAM to perform supervisory and administrative services to the Funds. Prior to March 1, 2016, Transamerica Funds Services, Inc. (“TFS”) provided administrative services to the Funds.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the first-in, first-out basis. Dividends and net realized gains (losses) are from investments in shares of underlying funds. Dividend income and capital gain distributions from underlying funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Income or short-term capital gain distributions received from underlying funds are recorded as dividend income. Long-term capital gain distributions received from underlying funds are recorded as realized gains.

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

Distributions to shareholders: Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

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

There were no commissions recaptured during the year ended October 31, 2016 by the Funds.

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

3. SECURITY VALUATION

All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. The Funds value their investments at the official close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) each day the NYSE is open for business.

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The three levels (“Levels”) of inputs of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

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

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

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

3. SECURITY VALUATION (continued)

 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different Levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the Level in the fair value hierarchy that is assigned to the fair value measurement of a security is determined based on the lowest Level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Certain investments that are measured at fair value using NAV per share, or its equivalent, practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value levels. The hierarchy classification of inputs used to value the Funds’ investments, at October 31, 2016, is disclosed within the Security Valuation section of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

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

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

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

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

Investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETF”): Investment companies are valued at the NAV of the underlying funds. These securities are actively traded and no valuation adjustments are applied. ETFs are stated at the last reported sale price or closing price on the day of valuation taken from the primary exchange where the security is principally traded. Investment companies and ETFs are generally categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments in privately held investment funds with significant restrictions on redemptions where the inputs of NAVs are unobservable will be valued based upon the NAVs of such investments and are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

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

Repurchase agreements: Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

4. BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

The Funds 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 their investment policies, to raise additional cash to be invested in other securities or instruments. When the Funds invest borrowing proceeds in other securities, the Funds 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. The Funds may borrow on a secured or on an unsecured basis. If the Funds enter into a secured borrowing arrangement, a portion of the Funds’ assets will be used as collateral. The 1940 Act requires the Funds to maintain asset coverage of at least 300% of the amount of their borrowings. Asset

coverage means the ratio that the value of the Funds’ 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 Funds may borrow, it does not otherwise mitigate the risks of entering into borrowing transactions.

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

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

The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at October 31, 2016, if any, are shown on a gross basis within the Schedule of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

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

Repurchase agreements are subject to netting agreements, which are agreements between the Funds and their counterparties that provide for the net settlement of all transactions and collateral with the Funds, through a single payment, in the event of default or termination. Amounts presented on the Schedule of Investments, and as part of Repurchase agreements, at value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are shown on a gross basis. The value of the related collateral for each repurchase agreement, as reflected within the Schedule of Investments, exceeds the value of each repurchase agreement at October 31, 2016.

Repurchase agreements at October 31, 2016, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of October 31, 2016.

Distribution and service fees: The Trust has a distribution plan (“Distribution Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, the Trust entered into a distribution agreement with TCI as the Funds’ distributor.

The Distribution Plan requires the Funds to pay distribution fees to TCI as compensation for various distribution activities, not as reimbursement for specific expenses. Under the Distribution Plan and distribution agreement, TCI, on behalf of the Funds, is authorized to pay various service providers, as direct payment for expenses incurred in connection with distribution of the Funds shares. The distribution and service fees are included in Distribution fees within the Statements of Operations.

Each Fund is authorized under the Distribution Plan to pay fees to TCI based on daily ANA of each class up to the following annual rates:

 

Class (A)    Rate  

Class R1

     0.50

 

(A)  12b-1 fees are not applicable for Class R6.

Administrative service fees: Effective March 1, 2016, each Fund pays a management fee to TAM for investment advisory and administration services and is reflected in Investment management fees within the Statements of Operations. Prior to March 1, 2016, the Funds had a separate administration service fee agreement with TFS pursuant to which the Funds paid TFS at an annual fee of 0.03% on daily ANA, which is reflected in Administration fees within the Statements of Operations.

Transfer agent fees: Pursuant to a transfer agency agreement, as amended, the Funds pay TFS a fee for providing services based on the number of classes, accounts and transactions relating to each Fund. The Transfer agent fees included within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Operations represent fees paid to TFS, and other unaffiliated parties providing transfer agent related services.

For the year ended October 31, 2016, transfer agent fees paid and the amounts due to TFS are as follows:

Deferred compensation plan: Under a non-qualified deferred compensation plan effective January 1, 1996, as amended and restated January 1, 2010, available to the trustees, compensation may be deferred that would otherwise be payable by the Trust to an independent trustee on a current basis for services rendered as trustee. Deferred compensation amounts will accumulate based on the value of the investment option, as elected by the trustee. Balances pursuant to deferred compensation plan are recorded in Trustees, Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and deferred compensation fees within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For the year ended October 31, 2016, amounts included in Trustees, CCO and deferred compensation fees within the Statements of Operations reflect total compensation paid to the independent Board members.

8. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

The Funds have not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to their policy to distribute all of their taxable income and capital gains to their shareholders and otherwise qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be

sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, the state of Colorado, and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to different treatment for items including, but not limited to, wash sales. Therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. The primary permanent differences are due to distribution redesignations and 2015 non-deductible excise taxes paid. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or results of operations. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences. These permanent reclassifications are as follows:

9. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In October 2016, the SEC adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together the, “Final Rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the Final Rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the implication, if any, of the additional disclosure requirements and its impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

10. CUSTODY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE

In December 2015, State Street Bank and Trust Co., the Funds’ custodian, identified inconsistencies in the way in which clients were invoiced for categories of expenses, particularly those deemed out-of-pocket costs, during an 18-year period going back to 1998. The issue was the result of inaccurate billing rates that were not subsequently reviewed or adjusted. The amount of the difference in what was charged and what should have been charged, plus interest, was paid back to the Funds in September 2016 as a reimbursement. The amounts applicable to each Fund, if any, were recognized as a change in accounting estimate and are reflected in Reimbursement of custody fees within the Statements of Operations. This resulted in a decrease in Net expenses and an overall increase in Net assets.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Transamerica Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of ClearTrack® 2015, ClearTrack® 2020, ClearTrack® 2025, ClearTrack® 2030, ClearTrack® 2035, ClearTrack® 2040, ClearTrack® 2045, ClearTrack® 2050, and ClearTrack® Retirement Income (nine of the funds of the Transamerica Funds collectively known as the “Funds”), as of October 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds at October 31, 2016, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT — CONTRACT RENEWAL

(unaudited)

 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica Funds (the “Trustees” or the “Board”) held on June 8-9, 2016, the Board considered the renewal of the management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) between Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) and Transamerica Funds, on behalf of each of the following funds (each a “Portfolio” and collectively the “Portfolios”):

 

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2015

   Transamerica ClearTrack® 2040

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2020

   Transamerica ClearTrack® 2045

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2025

   Transamerica ClearTrack® 2050

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2030

   Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2035

  

For each Portfolio, the Board also considered the renewal of the investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Management Agreement, the “Agreements”) between TAM and QS Investors, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”).

Following its review and consideration, the Board determined that the terms of the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable and that the renewal of each of the Agreements was in the best interests of the applicable Portfolio and its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the renewal of each of the Agreements through June 30, 2017. Prior to reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and received from TAM and the Sub-Adviser certain information. They then reviewed such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreements, including information they had previously received from TAM and the Sub-Adviser as part of their regular oversight of each Portfolio. The Trustees considered comparative fee, expense and performance information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of mutual fund performance information, as well as fee, expense and profitability information prepared by TAM. To the extent applicable, the Trustees also considered information about fees and performance of comparable funds and/or accounts managed by the Sub-Adviser.

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided

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

The Board also considered the continuous and regular investment management and other services provided by TAM for the portion of the management fee it retains from each Portfolio after payment of the sub-advisory fees. The Trustees noted that, at a meeting held on December 9-10, 2015, they had approved the combination of the Portfolios’ former Investment Advisory Agreement and Administrative Service Agreement into the Management Agreement in connection with the transition of the personnel and operations of Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. that relate to the provision of administrative services into TAM. They noted that this combination of agreements had resulted in each Portfolio paying a single management fee for investment advisory and administrative services. The Board noted that the investment management and other services provided by TAM include the design, development and ongoing review and evaluation of each Portfolio and its investment strategy; the selection, oversight and monitoring of one or more investment sub-advisers to perform certain duties with respect to the Portfolios; 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 Portfolio investments; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a compliance program for the Portfolios; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the voting of proxies and exercise of rights to consent to corporate action for Portfolio investments; participation in Board meetings and oversight of preparation of materials for the Board, including materials for Board meetings and regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation of the Portfolios’ prospectuses, statements of additional information, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and regulatory filings for the Portfolios; and ongoing cash management services. The Board considered that TAM’s investment management services also include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to each Portfolio. The Board also noted that TAM, as part of the services it provides to all Transamerica mutual funds, including the Portfolios, oversees the services provided by the funds’ custodian, transfer agent, independent accountant and legal counsel and supervises the performance of the recordkeeping and shareholder functions of the funds.

Investment Performance

In addition, the Board considered the short- and longer-term performance, as applicable, of each Portfolio in light of its investment objective, policies and strategies, including relative performance against (i) a peer universe of comparable mutual funds, as prepared by Lipper, and (ii) the Portfolio’s benchmark(s), in each case for various trailing periods ended December 31, 2015.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2015. The Board noted that the performance of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio was below the median for its peer universe since its inception on March 2, 2015. The Board also noted that the performance of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio was below its benchmark since its inception. The Trustees considered TAM’s representation that the Portfolio’s peer group had certain differences that caused it to be an imperfect basis for comparison.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2020. The Board noted that the performance of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio was in line with the median for its peer universe since its inception on March 2, 2015. The Board also noted that the performance of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio was below its benchmark since its inception. The Trustees considered TAM’s representation that the Portfolio’s peer group had certain differences that caused it to be an imperfect basis for comparison.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2025. The Board noted that the performance of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio was in line with the median for its peer universe since its inception on March 2, 2015. The Board also noted that the performance of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio was below its benchmark since its inception. The Trustees considered TAM’s representation that the Portfolio’s peer group had certain differences that caused it to be an imperfect basis for comparison.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2030. The Board noted that the performance of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio was above the median for its peer universe since its inception on March 2, 2015. The Board also noted that the performance of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio was above its benchmark since its inception. The Trustees considered TAM’s representation that the Portfolio’s peer group had certain differences that caused it to be an imperfect basis for comparison.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2035. The Board noted that the performance of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio was above the median for its peer universe since its inception on March 2, 2015. The Board also noted that the performance of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio was above its benchmark since its inception. The Trustees considered TAM’s representation that the Portfolio’s peer group had certain differences that caused it to be an imperfect basis for comparison.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2040. The Board noted that the performance of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio was above the median for its peer universe since its inception on March 2, 2015. The Board also noted that the performance of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio was above its benchmark since its inception. The Trustees considered TAM’s representation that the Portfolio’s peer group had certain differences that caused it to be an imperfect basis for comparison.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2045. The Board noted that the performance of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio was above the median for its peer universe since its inception on March 2, 2015. The Board also noted that the performance of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio was above its benchmark since its inception. The Trustees considered TAM’s representation that the Portfolio’s peer group had certain differences that caused it to be an imperfect basis for comparison.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2050. The Board noted that the performance of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio was above the median for its peer universe since its inception on March 2, 2015. The Board also noted that the performance of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio was above its benchmark since its inception. The Trustees considered TAM’s representation that the Portfolio’s peer group had certain differences that caused it to be an imperfect basis for comparison.

Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income. The Board noted that the performance of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio was above the median for its peer universe since its inception on March 2, 2015. The Board also noted that the performance of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio was below its composite benchmark since its inception. The Trustees considered TAM’s representation that the Portfolio’s peer group had certain differences that caused it to be an imperfect basis for comparison.

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

Management and Sub-Advisory Fees and Total Expense Ratios

The Board considered the management fee and total expense ratio of each Portfolio, including information provided by Lipper comparing the management fee and total expense ratio of each Portfolio to the management fees and total expense ratios of comparable investment companies in both a peer group and broader peer universe compiled by Lipper. The Board also considered the fees charged by the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services, as well as the portion of a Portfolio’s management fee retained by TAM following payment of the sub-advisory fees.

MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT — CONTRACT RENEWAL (continued)

(unaudited)

 

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2015. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s contractual management fee and the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio were above the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Portfolio, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2020. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s contractual management fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio were below the median for its peer group and above the median for its peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Portfolio, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2025. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s contractual management fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio were below the median for its peer group and above the median for its peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Portfolio, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2030. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s contractual management fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio were below the median for its peer group and above the median for its peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Portfolio, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2035. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s contractual management fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio were below the median for its peer group and above the median for its peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Portfolio, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2040. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s contractual management fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio were below the median for its peer group and above the median for its peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Portfolio, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2045. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s contractual management fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio were below the median for its peer group and above the median for its peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Portfolio, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2050. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s contractual management fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio were below the median for its peer group and above the median for its peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Portfolio, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s contractual management fee and the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R1 Shares of the Portfolio were above the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Portfolio, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

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

Cost of Services Provided and Level of Profitability

The Board reviewed information provided by TAM about the cost of providing and procuring fund management services, as well as the costs of the provision of administration, transfer agency and other services, to each Portfolio and to Transamerica Funds as a whole by

MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT — CONTRACT RENEWAL (continued)

(unaudited)

 

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

With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board noted that the sub-advisory fees are the product of arm’s-length negotiation between TAM and the Sub-Adviser, which is not affiliated with TAM, and are paid by TAM and not the applicable Portfolio. As a result, the Board focused on the profitability of TAM and its affiliates with respect to the applicable Portfolio.

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

Economies of Scale

The Board considered economies of scale with respect to the management of each Portfolio, whether the Portfolio had appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there was the potential for realization of any future economies of scale. The Board also considered the existence of economies of scale with respect to management of the Transamerica mutual funds overall and the extent to which the Portfolios benefited from any economies of scale. The Board considered each Portfolio’s management fee schedule and the existence of breakpoints, if any, and also considered the extent to which TAM shared economies of scale, if any, with the Portfolios through investments in maintaining and developing its capabilities and services. The Trustees concluded that each Portfolio’s fee structure reflected an appropriate sharing of any efficiencies or economies of scale to date and noted that they will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine the appropriateness of the management fees payable to TAM and the fees paid to the Sub-Adviser in light of any economies of scale experienced in the future.

Benefits to TAM, its Affiliates and the Sub-Adviser from their Relationships with the Portfolios

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

Other Considerations

The Board noted that TAM has made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel and maintains the financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage each Portfolio in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board favorably considered the procedures and policies TAM has in place to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Board also noted that TAM has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Portfolios.

Conclusion

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