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

 

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 Portfolio itself has not been rated by an independent agency.

 

^ 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, securities sold short, TBA short commitments, and cash collateral.

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 TFS to perform supervisory and administrative services to the Portfolios. State Street performs back office services to support TFS, including furnishing financial and performance information about the Portfolios for inclusion in regulatory filings and trustees’ and shareholder reports; preparing drafts of regulatory filings, trustees’ materials, tax returns, expenses and budgeting; tax compliance testing; and maintaining books and records. TFS pays all expenses it incurs in connection with providing these services in the Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement with the exception of the costs of certain services specifically assumed by the Portfolios, as numerated within the Statements of Operations.

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

In preparing the Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios.

Securities lending: Securities are lent to qualified financial institutions and brokers. State Street serves as securities lending agent to the Portfolios pursuant to a Securities Lending Agreement. The lending of securities exposes the Portfolios to risks such as, the borrowers may fail to return the loaned securities, the borrowers may not be able to provide additional collateral, the Portfolios may experience delays in recovery of the loaned securities or delays in access to collateral, or the Portfolios 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 Portfolios 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 Portfolios seek to increase their net investment income through the receipt of interest and fees. Such income is reflected separately in the Statements of Operations. Income from loaned securities 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 June 30, 2015, if any, are shown on a gross basis in the Schedule of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Repurchase agreements: In a repurchase agreement, the Portfolios 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 Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios 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 Portfolios and its counterparties that provide for the net settlement of all transactions and collateral with the Portfolios, 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 in the Schedule of Investments, exceeds the value of each repurchase agreement at June 30, 2015.

Open repurchase agreements at June 30, 2015, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments.

Foreign currency denominated investments: The accounting records of the Portfolios 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 Portfolio 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.

NOTE 1. (continued)

 

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.

Foreign taxes: The Portfolios 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 Portfolios may also be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Portfolios 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 Portfolios 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 period, the Portfolios 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 and foreign cash overdrafts are reflected in Custody fees and Interest income within the Statements of Operations, respectively.

Forward foreign currency contracts: The Portfolios are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Portfolios, with the exception of Money Market, enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against exchange rate risk arising from investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies. 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 over-the-counter (“OTC”) inter-bank currency dealer market. The fair value of OTC derivative instruments, collateral received/pledged and net assets exposure by counterparty is disclosed within the Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments section of the notes.

Open forward foreign currency contracts at June 30, 2015, if any, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

Option contracts: The Portfolios are subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Portfolios, with the exception of Money Market, enter into option contracts to manage exposure to various market fluctuations. The Portfolios purchase or write put and call options on U.S. securities, indices, futures, swaps (“swaptions”), commodities, and currency transactions. 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. The fair value of OTC derivative instruments, collateral received/pledged and net assets exposure by counterparty is disclosed within the Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments section of the notes.

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 Portfolios 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 U.S. security, index, future, swaption, commodity, or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

Written options: Writing call options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying investment. Writing put options tends to increase exposure to the underlying investment. When the Portfolios 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/swaptions which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying U.S. security, index, future, swaption, commodity, or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. In writing an option, the Portfolios 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 Portfolios could result in the Portfolios selling or buying a security or currency at a price different from the current market value.

Inflation-capped options: The Portfolios purchase or write inflation-capped options to enhance returns or for hedging opportunities. The purpose of purchasing inflation-capped options is to protect the Portfolios from inflation erosion above a certain rate on a given notional exposure. A floor can be used to give downside protection to the investments in inflation-linked products.

Interest rate swaptions: The Portfolios may write or purchase 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.

Foreign currency options: The Portfolios may purchase or write foreign currency options. Purchasing foreign currency options gives the Portfolios 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. These options may be used as a short or long hedge against possible variations in foreign exchange rates or to gain exposure to foreign currencies.

Open option contracts at June 30, 2015, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments.

Futures contracts: The Portfolios are subject to equity and commodity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Portfolios, with the exception of 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 Portfolios 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 Portfolios, 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 Portfolios. Upon entering into such contracts, the Portfolios bear the risk of equity and commodity prices, interest rates, or exchange rates moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Portfolios may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize losses. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolios 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 June 30, 2015, if any, are listed in the Schedule of Investments. The variation margin receivable or payable, as applicable, is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Swap agreements: Swap agreements are bilaterally negotiated agreements between the Portfolios 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 bilateral 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 swaps”). Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral platform, are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the corresponding exchange. For centrally cleared credit default swaps the clearing exchange requires all members to provide applicable levels across complete term levels. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps 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 forward rate to calculate the daily settlement price. The Portfolios, with the exception of Money Market, enter into credit default, cross-currency, interest rate, total return, variance, 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. Swaps 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.

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 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 realized gains or losses in the 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 realized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolios are included as part of realized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. The fair value of OTC derivative instruments, collateral received/pledged and net assets exposure by counterparty is disclosed within the Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments section of the notes.

Specific risks and accounting related to each type of swap agreement are identified and described as follows:

Credit default swap agreements: The Portfolios are subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Portfolios enter into credit default swaps 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 swaps 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, 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 Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios and the counterparty, and by the posting of collateral.

Certain Portfolios sell credit default swaps, 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 swaps is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. The aggregate fair value of assets posted as collateral, net of assets received as collateral, for these swaps is included in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments. If a defined credit event had occurred during the period, the swaps’ credit-risk-related contingent features would have been triggered, and the Portfolios would have been required to pay the notional amounts for the credit default swaps with a sell protection less the value of the contracts’ related reference obligations.

Interest rate swap agreements: The Portfolios are subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. Because the Portfolios hold fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To

help hedge against this risk, the Portfolios enter into interest rate swap agreements. Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties to exchange cash flows based on a notional principal amount. Portfolios 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 swaps 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 Portfolios’ 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 that amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Portfolios and the counterparty, and by the posting of collateral.

Open centrally cleared swap agreements at June 30, 2015, if any, are listed in the Schedule of Investments. The centrally cleared swap agreements are marked-to-market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the variation margin is recorded by the Portfolios, if applicable, and is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Open OTC swap agreements at June 30, 2015, if any, are listed in the Schedule of Investments. The value, as applicable, is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Short sales: A short sale is a transaction in which the Portfolios sell securities it does not own, but has borrowed, in anticipation of a decline in the fair market value of the securities. The Portfolios are obligated to replace the borrowed securities at the market price at the time of replacement. The Portfolios’ obligation to replace the securities borrowed in connection with a short sale is fully secured by collateral deposited with the custodian. In addition, the Portfolios consider the short sale to be a borrowing by the Portfolios 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 Portfolio may be unable to replace borrowed securities sold short.

The Portfolios 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 and/or interest from securities sold short in the Statements of Operations. The Portfolios also bear other costs, such as charges for the prime brokerage accounts, in connection with short positions. These costs are reported as dividends and/or interest from securities sold short in the Statements of Operations.

Open short sale transactions at June 30, 2015, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments.

Loan participations and assignments: The Portfolios 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 Portfolios 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 Portfolios assume the credit risks associated with the corporate borrowers and may assume the credit risks associated with the interposed banks or other financial intermediaries.

The Portfolios, with the exception of Money Market, may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent banks and/or borrowers prior to the sale of these investments. The Portfolios 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 Portfolios have direct recourse against the corporate borrowers under the terms of the loans or other indebtedness, the Portfolios may have to rely on the agent banks or other financial intermediaries to apply appropriate credit remedies against corporate borrowers.

The Portfolios held no unsecured loan participations at June 30, 2015. Open loan participations and assignments at June 30, 2015, if any, are included 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. They 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 Portfolios’ other assets. Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at the current value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under Security Valuation.

NOTE 1. (continued)

 

TBA commitments held at June 30, 2015, if any, are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Open balances at June 30, 2015, if any, are included in the payable or receivable for When-issued or delayed-delivery securities purchased or sold in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

When-Issued, forward delivery securities and delayed-delivery settlements: The Portfolios may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, forward (delayed) delivery basis or delayed settlement. When-issued and forward delivery 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 Portfolios engage in when-issued transactions to obtain an advantageous price and yield at the time of the transaction. The Portfolios engage in when-issued and forward delivery 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 Portfolios may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the Portfolios are not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement.

Delayed-delivery transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolios 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 Portfolios will segregate with its 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 Portfolios 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 Portfolios if the other party to the transaction defaults on its obligation to make payment or delivery, and the Portfolios are delayed or prevented from completing the transaction. The Portfolios 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 Portfolios sell a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Portfolios do not participate in future gains and losses on the security.

When-issued securities or delayed-delivery securities held at June 30, 2015, if any, are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Open trades, if any, are reflected as When-issued or delayed-delivery securities purchased in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Treasury inflation-protected securities (“TIPS”): Certain Portfolios may invest in TIPS. TIPS 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. Any upward or downward adjustment in the principal amount of a TIPS will be included as interest income in the Statements of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds 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 June 30, 2015, 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 cost.

Payment in-kind securities (“PIKs”): 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 unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments to interest receivable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

PIKs held at June 30, 2015, if any, are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

Restricted and illiquid securities: The Portfolios 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 June 30, 2015, if any, are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

Commission recapture: The sub-adviser, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, has elected to place security transactions of the Portfolios with broker/dealers with which other Funds or Portfolios advised by TAM has 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 Portfolios. In no event will

commissions paid by the Portfolios 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 for the period ended June 30, 2015, are included in Net realized gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations and are summarized as follows:

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. Dividend income, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of foreign securities, as soon as the Portfolios 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.

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 June 30, 2015, if any, are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

NOTE 2. SECURITY VALUATION

All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. The Portfolios value their investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, each day the NYSE is open for business. The Portfolios 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 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. The hierarchy classification of inputs used to value the Portfolios’ investments, at June 30, 2015, is disclosed in the Security Valuation section of each Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments.

Under supervision 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 Portfolios 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 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 Portfolios’ 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 portfolios. 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. They are 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.

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, ETFs, 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.

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 traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments and are generally categorized in Level 2.

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.

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.

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.

Short-term notes: Short-term notes are valued using amortized cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they would be categorized in Level 3.

Government securities: 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. Government securities generally are 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 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.

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. 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. A substantial majority of OTC derivative products valued by the Portfolios 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.

The Portfolios 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.

NOTE 5. (continued)

 

ISDA Master Agreements include provisions for general obligations, representations, collateral and events of default or termination. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Portfolios 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 Portfolios 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 Portfolios 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 Portfolios’ 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 traded derivatives (forward foreign currency exchange contracts, OTC options, and OTC swap agreements). For OTC derivatives, under standard derivatives agreements, the Portfolios may be required to post collateral on derivatives if the Portfolios are in a net liability position with the counterparty exceeding certain amounts. Additionally, counterparties may immediately terminate derivatives contracts if the Portfolios fail to maintain sufficient asset coverage for its contracts or its net assets decline by stated percentages.

The following is a summary of the Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios as of June 30, 2015. See the Repurchase agreement section within the notes for offsetting and collateral information pertaining to repurchase agreements that are subject to master netting agreements.

NOTE 6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

 

The Series Portfolio has received rulings from the Internal Revenue Service that each Portfolio will be treated as a separate partnership for federal income tax purposes. Income taxes are not provided for by the Portfolios because taxable income/(loss) of each Portfolio is included in the income tax returns of the investors. It is intended that the Portfolios’ assets will be managed so an investor in the Portfolio can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The Portfolios 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 Portfolios’ federal tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities for the prior three years. Management has evaluated the Portfolios’ tax provisions taken for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements. If applicable, the Portfolios recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and penalties expense in Other on the Statements of Operations. The Portfolios identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, the states of Colorado and New York, and foreign jurisdictions where the Portfolios make significant investments; however, the Portfolios 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. For tax purposes, each component of the Portfolios’ net assets are reported at the investor level; therefore, the Statements of Assets and Liabilities do not present the components of net assets. Each investor in the Portfolio will be subject to taxation on its share of the Portfolio’s ordinary income and capital gains; which may differ from GAAP.

NOTE 7. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-11, “Transfers and Servicing, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures”. The guidance changes the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements related to repurchase agreements, securities lending, repurchase-to-maturity and similar transactions. The guidance is required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and for interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. Management is currently evaluating the implication, if any, of the additional disclosure requirements and its impact on the Portfolios’ financial statements.

In July 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission voted to amend Rule 2a-7, which governs money market funds. A significant change resulting from these amendments is a requirement that institutional prime and institutional municipal money market funds transact fund shares based on a market-based NAV. Government, treasury, retail prime and retail municipal money market funds may continue to transact fund shares at an NAV calculated using the amortized cost valuation method. Among additional disclosure and other requirements, the amendments also will permit a money market fund, or, in certain circumstances, require a money market fund (other than a government money market fund which satisfies the requirements of the amended rules) to impose liquidity fees on redemptions, and permit a money market fund to limit (or gate) redemptions for up to 10 business days in any 90-day period. The degree to which a money market fund will be impacted by the rule amendments will depend upon the type of fund and type of investors (retail or institutional). The amendments have staggered compliance dates; however, the majority of these amendments will be effective on October 14, 2016, two years after the effective date for the rule amendments. Management is currently evaluating the implication, if any, of the additional disclosure requirements and its impact to the Portfolios’ financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, “Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate NAV per Share (or its Equivalent)”. The guidance removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV per share practical expedient. Sufficient information must be provided to permit reconciliation of the fair value of assets categorized within the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The guidance is required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the implication, if any, of the additional disclosure requirements and its impact on the Portfolios’ financial statements.

TRANSAMERICA PARTNERS PORTFOLIOS

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS — CONTRACT RENEWAL

 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica Partners Portfolios (the “Trustees” or the “Board”) held on June 9-10, 2015, the Board considered the renewal of the investment advisory agreements (each an “Investment Advisory Agreement” and collectively the “Investment Advisory Agreements”) between each of the following funds (each a “Portfolio” and collectively the “Portfolios”) and Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”):

   Transamerica Partners Small Core Portfolio

   Transamerica Partners Small Growth Portfolio

   Transamerica Partners Small Value Portfolio

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

Following its review and consideration, the Board determined that the terms of each Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable and that the renewal of each Agreement was in the best interests of the applicable Portfolio and its investors. The Board, including the independent members of the Board (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the renewal of each of the Agreements through June 30, 2016. 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, to the extent applicable, information about fees and performance of comparable funds and/or accounts managed by each Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also considered information they had previously received from TAM and each Sub-Adviser as part of their regular oversight of each Portfolio, as well as comparative fee, expense, and performance information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of mutual fund performance information, and fee, expense and profitability information prepared by TAM. In conducting their review, the Trustees noted that the relevant analysis of investment performance, fees and expenses for each Portfolio was better made at the level of the funds that invest in the applicable Portfolio (i.e., the Transamerica Partners Fund and Transamerica Partners Institutional Fund), since investors could not invest directly in the Portfolio and that is the manner in which Lipper provided its comparative information.

In their deliberations, the Independent Trustees had the opportunity to meet 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, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by counsel, including independent legal counsel, and/or their own business judgment, to be relevant. 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.

TRANSAMERICA PARTNERS PORTFOLIOS

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

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided

The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by TAM and, as applicable, 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 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 certain of the Sub-Advisers and a comparison of trading results against a peer universe of managers.

The Board also considered the continuous and regular investment advisory and other services provided by TAM for the portion of the investment advisory fee it retains after payment of the sub-advisory fee(s). With respect to each Portfolio, the Board noted that the investment advisory and other services include the design, development and ongoing review and evaluation of the 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 Portfolio; 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 Portfolio; 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 Portfolio’s prospectus, statement of additional information, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and regulatory filings for the Portfolio; and ongoing cash management services. 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’ administrator, custodian, transfer agent, independent accountant and legal counsel and supervises the performance of the recordkeeping and shareholder functions of the funds.

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 operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs.

Investment Performance

Transamerica Partners Small Value Portfolio. The Trustees noted that the Transamerica Partners Fund’s contractual investment advisory fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and the Transamerica Partners Institutional Fund’s contractual investment advisory fee was in line with the medians for its peer group and peer universe.

The Board also noted that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Transamerica Partners Fund and the Transamerica Partners Institutional Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of investors.

On the basis of these considerations, together with the other information it considered, the Board determined that the investment advisory and sub-advisory fees to be received by TAM and the Sub-Advisers under the Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements 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 and other services, to the Portfolios and to Transamerica Partners Portfolios as a whole, as applicable, by TAM and its affiliates. The Board considered the profitability of TAM and its affiliates in providing these services for each Portfolio and Transamerica Partners Portfolios as a whole, as well as the allocation methodology used for calculating profitability.

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, 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 each Portfolio. With respect to Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC (“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 investment advisory 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 investment advisory 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, or 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. 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 Portfolio is recaptured for the benefit of the Portfolio and its investors, 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 investors. 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 each Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the applicable Portfolio and its investors and voted to approve the renewal of each of the Agreements.
