§ Average Maturity is computed by weighting the maturity of each security in the Portfolio 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 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, and cash collateral.

1. ORGANIZATION

 

Transamerica Partners Portfolios (the “Series Portfolio”) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and was organized as a series trust under the laws of the State of New York. The Series Portfolio applies investment company accounting and reporting guidance. The Series Portfolio is composed of fifteen different series that are, in effect, separate investment funds. The portfolios (each, a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”) are listed below. Each Portfolio issues shares of beneficial interest only in private placement transactions that do not involve a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). Only “accredited investors”, as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, may invest in the Portfolios. Accredited investors include investment companies, insurance company separate accounts, common or commingled trust funds, or other similar organizations or entities.

  (A)  Formerly, Transamerica Partners Money Market Portfolio. The Portfolio transitioned from a “prime” money market portfolio to a “government” money market portfolio on May 1, 2016.

Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) serves as investment manager for the Portfolios. TAM provides continuous and regular investment management services to the Portfolios.

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 Portfolio 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 Portfolios 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 Portfolios 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 Portfolio combinations and liquidations where it believes appropriate or advisable; regular supervision of the Portfolios’ investments; regular review and evaluation of sub-adviser performance; daily monitoring of the sub-advisers’ buying and selling of securities for the Portfolios; 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 Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios; oversight of other service providers to the Portfolios, such as the custodian, the transfer agent, the Portfolios’ independent accounting firm and legal counsel; supervision of the performance of recordkeeping and shareholder relations functions for the Portfolios; and ongoing cash management services. TAM uses a variety of quantitative and qualitative tools to carry out its investment management services. TAM’s investment management services include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to the Portfolios. TAM, not the Portfolios, is responsible for paying the sub-advisers for their services, and sub-advisory fees are TAM’s expense.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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.

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 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.

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 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 Portfolios 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 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 are included in Net realized gain (loss) within the Statements of Operations. For the period ended June 30, 2016, commissions recaptured are listed below. Portfolios not listed in the below table do not have any commissions recaptured during the period ended June 30, 2016.

Mid Value

     19,158   

Small Growth

     5,813   

International Equity

     8,624   

Indemnification: 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 their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Portfolios expect the risk of loss to be remote.

3. SECURITY VALUATION

 

All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. The Portfolios value their investments at the official close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) 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. 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 Portfolios’ investments, at June 30, 2016, is disclosed in the Security Valuation section of each Portfolio’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 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 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.

3. SECURITY VALUATION (continued)

 

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:

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 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. Investment companies and ETFs 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.

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.

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.

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.

3. SECURITY VALUATION (continued)

 

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 Portfolios, with the exception of 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.

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.

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 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.

4. SECURITIES AND OTHER 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.

Each Portfolio, 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 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.

4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS (continued)

 

The Portfolios held no unsecured loan participations at June 30, 2016. Open secured loan participations and assignments at June 30, 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 June 30, 2016, if any, are identified in 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 June 30, 2016, 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, 2016, if any, are identified in 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 Portfolios’ other assets. Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at the current value of the underlying securities.

TBA commitments held at June 30, 2016, if any, are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Open balances at June 30, 2016, if any, are included in When-issued, delayed-delivery, and forward commitment purchased or sold in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Treasury inflation-protected securities (“TIPS”): Certain Portfolios 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. 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, 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 cost.

When-issued, delayed-delivery, and forward commitment transactions: The Portfolios 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 Portfolios engage in when-issued and forward commitment transactions to obtain an advantageous price and yield at the time of the transaction. The Portfolios 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 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.

4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS (continued)

 

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 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 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, delayed-delivery, and forward commitment transactions held at June 30, 2016, if any, are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Open trades, if any, are reflected as When-issued, delayed-delivery, and forward commitment securities purchased or sold in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

5. BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

The Portfolios 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 Portfolios invest borrowing proceeds in other securities, the Portfolios 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 Portfolios may borrow on a secured or on an unsecured basis. If the Portfolios enter into a secured borrowing arrangement, a portion of the Portfolios’ assets will be used as collateral. The 1940 Act requires the Portfolios to maintain asset coverage of at least 300% of the amount of their borrowings. Asset coverage means the ratio that the value of the Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios 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 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. 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 June 30, 2016, 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 their 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, 2016.

Open repurchase agreements at June 30, 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 Portfolios’ investment objectives allow the Portfolios 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.

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

 

Market Risk Factors: In pursuit of the Portfolios’ investment objectives, the Portfolios 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 Portfolios.

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 Portfolios are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Portfolios 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 Portfolios. 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 Portfolios’ exposure to market risk factors and other associated risks are discussed by derivative type as follows:

Option contracts: The Portfolios are subject to equity risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Portfolios, with the exception of Money Market, may enter into option contracts to manage exposure to various market fluctuations. The Portfolios may purchase or write call and put options on securities and derivative instruments in which each Portfolio 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 futures: The Portfolios may purchase or write options on futures. Purchasing or writing options on futures gives the Portfolios 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.

Inflation-capped options: The Portfolios may purchase or write inflation-capped options. Purchasing or writing inflation-capped options gives the Portfolios the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell an option which applies a cap 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.

Options on foreign currency: The Portfolios may purchase or write foreign currency options. Purchasing or writing options on foreign currency 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.

Interest rate swaptions: The Portfolios 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 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 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 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 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 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.

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 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 Portfolios, with the exception of Money Market, 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.

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 Net realized gain (loss) 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 Net realized gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolios are included as part of Net realized gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations.

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. Under an interest rate swap agreement, two parties will 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 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 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, 2016, if any, are listed in the 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.

Open OTC swap agreements at June 30, 2016, if any, are listed in the Schedule of Investments. The value, as applicable, is shown in OTC Swap agreements, at value within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Futures contracts: The Portfolios 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 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, 2016, if any, are listed in 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 Portfolios are subject to foreign exchange rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Portfolios, with the exception of Money Market, may 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 OTC inter-bank currency dealer market.

Open forward foreign currency contracts at June 30, 2016, if any, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

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.

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 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, 2016. For financial reporting purposes, the Portfolios 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 the notes for offsetting and collateral information pertaining to repurchase agreements that are subject to master netting agreements. Portfolios not listed in the subsequent tables do not have any master netting agreements for open derivative positions.

7. RISK FACTORS

 

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

10. 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.

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 8-9, 2016, the Board considered the renewal of the investment advisory agreements (each an “Investment Advisory Agreement” and collectively the “Investment Advisory Agreements”) between Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) and Transamerica Partners Portfolios, on behalf of each of the following funds (each a “Portfolio” and collectively the “Portfolios”):

 

Transamerica Partners Balanced Portfolio

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 of the Agreements 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, 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 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 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

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. The Board also considered the assessment prepared by Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to the Portfolio, 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 Portfolio, 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 Portfolio. 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 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.

TRANSAMERICA PARTNERS PORTFOLIOS

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

 

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 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. 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.
