Dear Fellow Shareholder,
On behalf of Transamerica Funds, I would like to thank you for your continued support and confidence in our products as we look forward to continuing to serve you and your financial advisor in the future. We value the trust you have placed in us.
This annual report is provided to you with the intent of presenting a comprehensive review of the investments of each of your funds. The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that annual and semi-annual reports be sent to all shareholders, and we believe this report to be an important part of the investment process. In addition to providing a comprehensive review, this report also provides a discussion of accounting policies as well as matters presented to shareholders that may have required their vote.
We believe it is important to recognize and understand current market conditions in order to provide a context for reading this report. Both equity and fixed-income markets have experienced extreme volatility and accelerating downward pricing pressure over the past twelve months as a credit crisis has had profound effects on the financial markets and has spilled over into the global economy. Oil prices rose dramatically throughout the first seven months of 2008 and have fallen precipitously since then as the global economy has struggled and demand has declined. The Federal Reserve has lowered the federal funds rate during the past twelve months from 4.25% in November 2007 to 1.00% at the end of October 2008 as it has sought to provide liquidity in a difficult market environment. The Treasury department has also been taking an active role in an effort to stabilize the markets, including the initiation of the Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds and the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP). The job market continues to struggle, as non-farm payrolls have weakened and the unemployment rate has risen to over 6%. In this environment, investors have flocked to money market instruments and Treasuries in a flight to quality. Many funds have struggled to produce positive returns. For the twelve months ending October 31, 2008, the Dow Jones Industrial Average returned -31.24%, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index returned -36.10%, and the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Bond Index returned 0.30%. Please keep in mind it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio as investment returns have historically been difficult to predict.
In addition to your active involvement in the investment process, we firmly believe that a financial advisor is a key resource to help you build a complete picture of your current and future financial needs. Financial advisors are familiar with the market’s history, including long-term returns and volatility of various asset classes. With your financial advisor, you can develop an investment program that incorporates factors such as your goals, your investment timeline, and your risk tolerance.
Please contact your financial advisor if you have any questions about the contents of this report, and thanks again for the confidence you have placed in us.
Sincerely,
| | |

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
The twelve-month period through October 31, 2008 was one of the most difficult periods in history for the financial markets. The housing-market decline and collapse in sub-prime mortgage bonds were already underway entering the period, and became worse as the year progressed. Investment banks, commercial banks, insurers, and other financial institutions recorded massive writedowns on the values of mortgage-related securities on their books. This required them to raise replacement capital to meet capital-reserve requirements, yet the usual sources of capital—other financial institutions—were dealing with shortfalls of their own. As a result of these developments, lending institutions were unable to provide the everyday lending and liquidity that keep the economy working. Banks even balked at lending to one another in the overnight markets, which they normally do as a matter of routine.
Even as global recession fears grew, prices for oil and other key commodities rose stubbornly through most of the year on expectations of insatiable demand from China, India, and other developing countries. Thus, inflation threatened to combine with slowing growth to produce the dreaded “stagflation” that characterized the 1970s. But commodity prices retreated in 2008’s third quarter as it became clear that the frozen credit markets, rising home foreclosures, and shrinking consumer demand signaled worldwide economic contraction—not an overheating world economy.
Sensing a financial system in jeopardy, the U.S. government took a number of steps intended to rescue the system. In March, the Treasury Department persuaded the collapsing Bear Stearns Companies Inc. to sell itself to JPMorgan Chase & Co., and the Federal Reserve Board opened up its short-term lending facilities to investment banks in an effort to alleviate the capital shortage. In July, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation took over failing mortgage-lender IndyMac Bancorp, Inc. But the activity did not hit fever pitch until September. In that month, federal regulators seized control of the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and took a controlling stake in insurance giant American International Group, Inc. Along with other market-greasing initiatives, the Treasury announced a $700 billion plan to buy troubled mortgage securities from financial institutions, removing the plummeting securities from the companies’ books. Also in September, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman Brothers”) filed for bankruptcy, Washington Mutual, Inc. was acquired by JPMorgan Chase, and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. sold itself to Bank of America Corporation. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and Morgan Stanley by then the only remaining major stand-alone investment banks petitioned the government to convert to chartered banks. The government also brokered Wachovia Corporation’s sale to Wells Fargo & Company. On top of these activities, the Fed lowered its federal-funds rate seven times during the last twelve months, ultimately to 1.00%. By October, other governments around the world were taking a number of similar measures.
As the crisis unfolded, U.S. stocks plunged. From November 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008, the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index fell 36.10%. That was its largest twelvemonth decline since the period from October 1973 to September 1974. The broader Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index (“DJ Wilshire 5000”) dropped 36.43%.
International equity markets fared worse than the U.S., in part due to a rise in the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies (which lowers foreign returns for U.S. investors). The broad Morgan Stanley Capital International Index fell 46.34% in dollar terms, and the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index lost more than half its value, tumbling 56.22%.
In the fixed-income markets, only the highest-quality bonds—Treasuries and other government issues—managed to post gains. Because the primary bond-market benchmark, the Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) Aggregate Bond Index (“BCAB”), is predominantly made up of government-backed bonds, it stayed slightly in the black for the period with a 0.30% return. But with credit fears rampant, bonds with even a little credit exposure lost value. Even investment-grade corporate bonds were down 13.82% as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate Aggregate Credit Investment Grade Index. High-yield bonds lost almost twice as much, and convertible bonds and emerging-markets debt notched big losses. The only safe asset classes truly were government bonds and cash. Yet not even all government bonds were safe: Treasury Inflation Protected Securities lost 4.11% for the period.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Asset Allocation-Conservative Portfolio Class A returned (23.86)%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the BCAB and the DJ Wilshire 5000, returned 0.30% and (36.43)%, respectively.
STRATEGY REVIEW
This fund-of-funds’ portfolio is structured to provide a mix of approximately 35% equity and 65% fixed-income securities (including cash). Its equity exposure is intended to provide broadly diversified coverage of domestic and international equity markets, across a range of market capitalizations and investment styles. The fixed-income portion covers investment-grade and credit-sensitive holdings, as well as international bonds. The portfolio also includes emerging markets, global real estate, and alternative strategies. The goal is to provide investors one-stop coverage of the financial markets, and the portfolio is more broadly diversified than most market indices or traditional conservative asset-allocation funds. Diversifying is a prudent way to invest for the long term because it’s not possible to predict which asset classes and investment styles will outperform in any given quarter or year. But diversification does not prevent losses in unusual short-term periods when virtually all asset classes and styles drop simultaneously.
We consider the managers of our underlying funds to be top-notch within their specialties, but against the backdrop of largely indiscriminant market losses, most of our portfolio holdings ended in the red. Throughout the period, the relative performance of the underlying funds sometimes changed significantly from one week to the next as the markets swung widely. It is thus not very illuminating to highlight, for example, which of our underlying U.S. stock funds were ahead of or

behind the other funds as of an arbitrary October 31 ending date. All of the domestic equity funds fell by more than 30%. Still, we can point to some of the higher-beta asset classes as being the most negative contributors. Naturally, the equity funds were the biggest decliners, and the international funds as a group were the worst among them. Several of the smaller-cap funds and the technology and real-estate sector funds were also hit hard.
The larger bond portfolio, meanwhile, posted losses of its own. The root cause of this past year’s market decline has been the credit crisis, and as noted, in that environment bonds with any credit sensitivity at all have suffered losses. Normally a predominantly investment-grade bond portfolio (such as ours) would tend to rise in value in times of stock-market volatility, but in this period only government bonds managed to avoid losses. Our portfolio owns government bonds, but also investment-grade corporate bonds, international bonds, high-yield bonds, convertibles, and emerging-markets debt. All of those asset classes fell in the period. Transamerica Convertible Securities and Transamerica High Yield Bond were the worst-hit bond holdings owing to their inherent equity sensitivity. Transamerica Loomis Sayles Bond simply had one of its rare bad years. On the opposite end, Transamerica PIMCO Total Return, our largest holding, softened its losses by emphasizing government-backed securities. The portfolio’s best-performing bond fund was Transamerica JPMorgan International Bond, but even it was slightly in the red. The only fund in the entire portfolio to post a positive return (other than Transamerica Money Market) was one of the four alternative-strategies funds: Transamerica BNY Mellon Market Neutral Strategy.
During the period, we made investments in three new underlying funds. Transamerica Schroders International Small Cap and Transamerica WMC Emerging Markets complement the existing international small-cap and emerging-markets holdings and add capacity in those asset classes. We also added a small position in Transamerica Science & Technology to help address a significant technology underweight.
The financial markets have endured historic volatility over the past twelve months, and as of this writing are still driven mostly by fear as investors struggle to digest the impact of a recessionary economy.

NOTES
| | |
1 | | The Barclays Capital Aggregate U.S. Bond Index and the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Total Market (DJ Wilshire 5000) Index are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The from inception calculation is based on the life of Class A shares. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions nor the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end.
Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (NAV) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.
The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any expenses from the Fund’s investment in other affiliated investment companies.

(a) | | Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days). |

The twelve-month period through October 31, 2008 was one of the most difficult periods in history for the financial markets. The housing-market decline and collapse in sub-prime mortgage bonds were already underway entering the period, and became worse as the year progressed. Investment banks, commercial banks, insurers, and other financial institutions recorded massive writedowns on the values of mortgage-related securities on their books.

On top of these activities, the Fed lowered its federal-funds rate seven times during the last twelve months, ultimately to 1.00%. By October, other governments around the world were taking a number of similar measures.
As the crisis unfolded, U.S. stocks plunged. From November 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008, the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index fell 36.10%. That was its largest twelvemonth decline since the period from October 1973 to September 1974. The broader Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index (“DJ Wilshire 5000”) dropped 36.43%.
International equity markets fared worse than the U.S., in part due to a rise in the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies (which lowers foreign returns for U.S. investors). The broad Morgan Stanley Capital International Index fell 46.34% in dollar terms, and the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index lost more than half its value, tumbling 56.22%.
In the fixed-income markets, only the highest-quality bonds, Treasuries and other government issues, managed to post gains. Because the primary bond-market benchmark, the Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) Aggregate Bond Index (“BCAB”), is predominantly made up of government-backed bonds, it stayed slightly in the black for the period with a 0.30% return. But with credit fears rampant, bonds with even a little credit exposure lost value. Even investment-grade corporate bonds were down 13.82% as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate Aggregate Credit Investment Grade Index. High-yield bonds lost almost twice as much, and convertible bonds and emerging-markets debt notched big losses. The only safe asset classes truly were government bonds and cash. Yet not even all government bonds were safe: Treasury Inflation Protected Securities lost 4.11% for the period.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008 Transamerica Asset Allocation-Growth Portfolio Class A returned (40.75)%. By comparison its benchmark, the DJ Wilshire 5000, returned (36.43)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
This fund-of-funds’ portfolio is structured to provide broadly diversified coverage of domestic and international equity markets, across a range of market capitalizations and investment styles. The portfolio also includes emerging markets, global real estate, and alternative strategies. The goal is to provide investors one-stop coverage of the equity markets, and the portfolio is more broadly diversified than most market indices. Diversifying is a prudent way to invest for the long term because it is not possible to predict which investment styles will outperform in any given quarter or year. But diversification does not prevent losses in short-term periods when virtually all types of stocks drop simultaneously.
We consider the managers of our underlying funds to be top-notch within their specialties, but against the backdrop of largely indiscriminant market losses, most of our fund holdings ended deeply in the red. Throughout the period, the relative performance of the underlying funds sometimes changed significantly from one week to the next as the stock market swung widely (especially in October, when on a couple of occasions the S&P 500 moved more than 10% in a single day). It is thus not very illuminating to highlight, for example, which of our underlying U.S. stock funds were ahead of or behind the other funds as of an arbitrary October 31 ending date. Still, we can point to some of the higher-beta asset classes and styles as being the most negative contributors. For example, the international funds were among the biggest decliners; of the ten holdings with the steepest losses, six were international funds. Transamerica Marsico International Growth delivered the portfolio’s worst loss, while Transamerica AllianceBernstein International Value and Transamerica Neuberger Berman International were not far behind. Several of the smaller-cap funds were also hit hard, particularly Transamerica Bjurman, Barry Micro Emerging Growth and Transamerica Oppenheimer Small- & Mid-Cap Value. Two of the sector funds—Transamerica Clarion Global Real Estate Securities and Transamerica

Science & Technology—notched similar losses. Because all of these asset classes can be considered higher-risk areas, one could have expected them to fall more than the overall market. But even the more-defensive Transamerica Evergreen Health Care lost. Indeed, all of the domestic equity funds in the portfolio fell by more than 30%.
The four alternative-strategies funds all held up better than the broad market, but three of the four still posted declines. The only fund in the entire portfolio to record a positive return (other than Transamerica Money Market) was Transamerica BNY Mellon Market Neutral Strategy.
During the period we made investments in three new underlying funds, all in the international sleeve: Transamerica Thornburg International Value (“Thornburg”), Transamerica Schroders International Small Cap (“Schroders”) and Transamerica WMC Emerging Markets (“WMC”). Thornburg has an outstanding record in the large-cap core style. We added the fund primarily on the basis of the management skill, but the fund also fleshes out our large-cap style coverage. The Schroders and WMC funds add capacity within the international small-cap and emerging-markets areas, and at the same time stylistically complement the funds we already own in those asset classes.
The financial markets have endured historic volatility over the past twelve months, and as of this writing are still driven mostly by fear as investors struggle to digest the impact of a recessionary economy.

NOTES
| | |
1 | | The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Total Market (DJ Wilshire 5000) Index is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The from inception calculation is based on the life of Class A shares. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions nor the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end.
Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares.
Net Asset Value (NAV) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.
The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any expenses from the Fund’s investment in other affiliated investment companies.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
The twelve-month period through October 31, 2008 was one of the most difficult periods in history for the financial markets. The housing-market decline and collapse in sub-prime mortgage bonds were already underway entering the period, and became worse as the year progressed. Investment banks, commercial banks, insurers, and other financial institutions recorded massive writedowns on the values of mortgage-related securities on their books. This required them to raise replacement capital to meet capital-reserve requirements, yet the usual sources of capital—other financial institutions—were dealing with shortfalls of their own. As a result of these developments, lending institutions were unable to provide the everyday lending and liquidity that keep the economy working. Banks even balked at lending to one another in the overnight markets, which they normally do as a matter of routine.
Even as global recession fears grew, prices for oil and other key commodities rose stubbornly through most of the year on expectations of insatiable demand from China, India, and other developing countries. Thus, inflation threatened to combine with slowing growth to produce the dreaded “stagflation” that characterized the 1970s. But commodity prices retreated in 2008’s third quarter as it became clear that the frozen credit markets, rising home foreclosures, and shrinking consumer demand signaled worldwide economic contraction—not an overheating world economy.
Sensing a financial system in jeopardy, the U.S. government took a number of steps intended to rescue the system. In March, the Treasury Department persuaded the collapsing The Bear Stearns Companies Inc. to sell itself to JPMorgan Chase & Co., and the Federal Reserve Board opened up its short-term lending facilities to investment banks in an effort to alleviate the capital shortage. In July the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation took over failing mortgage-lender IndyMac Bancorp, Inc. But the activity did not hit fever pitch until September. In that month, federal regulators seized control of the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and took a controlling stake in insurance giant American International Group, Inc. Along with other market-greasing initiatives, the Treasury announced a $700 billion plan to buy troubled mortgage securities from financial institutions, removing the plummeting securities from the companies’ books. Also in September, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman Brothers”) filed for bankruptcy, Washington Mutual, Inc. was acquired by JPMorgan Chase, and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. sold itself to Bank of America Corporation. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and Morgan Stanley by then the only remaining major stand-alone investment banks, petitioned the government to convert to chartered banks. The government also brokered Wachovia Corporation’s sale to Wells Fargo & Company. On top of these activities, the Fed lowered its federal-funds rate seven times during the last twelve months, ultimately to 1.00%. By October, other governments around the world were taking a number of similar measures.
As the crisis unfolded, U.S. stocks plunged. From November 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008, the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index (“S&P 500”) fell 36.10%. That was its largest twelve-month decline since the period from October 1973 to September 1974. The broader Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index (“DJ Wilshire 5000”) dropped 36.43%. International equity markets fared worse than the U.S., in part due to a rise in the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies (which lowers foreign returns for U.S. investors). The broad Morgan Stanley Capital International-EAFE Index fell 46.34% in dollar terms, and the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index lost more than half its value, tumbling 56.22%.
In the fixed-income markets, only the highest-quality bonds, Treasuries and other government issues, managed to post gains. Because the primary bond-market benchmark, the Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) Aggregate Bond Index (“BCAB”), is predominantly made up of government-backed bonds, it stayed slightly in the black for the period with a 0.30% return. But with credit fears rampant, bonds with even a little credit exposure lost value. Even investment-grade corporate bonds were down 13.82% as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Credit Corporate Investment Grade Index. High-yield bonds lost almost twice as much, and convertible bonds and emerging-markets debt notched big losses. The only safe asset classes truly were government bonds and cash. Yet not even all government bonds were safe: Treasury Inflation Protected Securities lost 4.11% for the period.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Asset Allocation-Moderate Growth Portfolio Class A returned (34.01)%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the DJ Wilshire 5000 and the BCAB, returned (36.43)% and 0.30%, respectively.
STRATEGY REVIEW
This fund-of-funds’ portfolio is structured to provide a mix of approximately 70% equity and 30% fixed-income securities (including cash). Its equity exposure is intended to provide broadly diversified coverage of domestic and international equity markets, across a range of market capitalizations and investment styles. The fixed-income portion covers investment-grade and credit-sensitive holdings, as well as international bonds. The portfolio also includes emerging markets, global real estate, and alternative strategies. The goal is to provide investors one-stop coverage of the financial markets, and the portfolio is more broadly diversified than most market indices or traditional balanced funds. Diversifying is a prudent way to invest for the long term because it is not possible to predict which asset classes and investment styles will outperform in any given quarter or year. But diversification does not prevent losses in unusual short-term periods when virtually all asset classes and styles drop simultaneously.
We consider the managers of our underlying funds to be top-notch within their specialties, but against the backdrop of largely indiscriminant market losses, most of our fund holdings ended deeply in the red. Throughout the period, the relative performance of the underlying funds sometimes changed significantly from one week to the next as the stock market swung widely (especially in October, when on a couple of occasions the S&P 500 moved more than 10% in a single day). It is thus not very illuminating to highlight, for example, which of our underlying U.S. stock funds were ahead of or behind the other funds as of an arbitrary October 31 ending date. Still, we can point to some of the higher-beta asset classes as being the most negative contributors. For example, the international funds were among the biggest decliners; of the ten holdings with the steepest losses, six were international funds. Several of the smaller-cap funds and the technology and real-estate sector

funds were also hit hard. But all of the domestic equity funds fell by more than 30%.
The bond portfolio, meanwhile, was hindered in its normal role of offsetting equity portfolio losses. The root cause of this past year’s market decline has been the credit crisis, and as noted, in that environment bonds with any credit sensitivity at all have suffered losses. Normally a predominantly investment-grade bond portfolio (such as ours) would tend to rise in value in times of stock-market volatility, but in this period only government bonds managed to avoid losses. Our portfolio owns government bonds, but also investment-grade corporate bonds, international bonds, high-yield bonds, convertibles, and emerging-markets debt. All of those asset classes fell in the period. In addition, Transamerica Loomis Sayles Bond, which is one of our larger bond holdings, had one of its rare bad years.
The four alternative-strategies funds, however, held up decently relative to the stock market. Indeed, Transamerica BNY Mellon Market Neutral Strategy was the only fund in the portfolio to post a positive return (other than Transamerica Money Market).
During the period we made investments in three new underlying funds, all in the international sleeve: Transamerica Thornburg International Value (“Thornburg”), Transamerica Schroders International Small Cap (“Schroders”) and Transamerica WMC Emerging Markets (“WMC”). Thornburg has an outstanding record in the large-cap core style. We added the fund primarily on the basis of the management skill, but the fund also fleshes out our large-cap style coverage. The Schroders and WMC funds add capacity within the international small-cap and emerging-markets areas, and at the same time stylistically complement the funds we already own in those asset classes.
The financial markets have endured historic volatility over the past twelve months, and as of this writing are still driven mostly by fear as investors struggle to digest the impact of a recessionary economy.

1 | | The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Total Market (DJ Wilshire 5000) Index and the Barclays Capital Aggregate U.S. Bond Index are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The from inception calculation is based on the life of Class A shares. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions nor the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end.
Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (NAV) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.
The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any expenses from the Fund’s investment in other affiliated investment companies.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
The twelve-month period through October 31, 2008, was one of the most difficult periods in history for the financial markets. The housing-market decline and collapse in sub-prime mortgage bonds were already underway entering the period, and became worse as the year progressed. Investment banks, commercial banks, insurers, and other financial institutions recorded massive writedowns on the values of mortgage-related securities on their books. This required them to raise replacement capital to meet capital-reserve requirements, yet the usual sources of capital—other financial institutions—were dealing with shortfalls of their own. As a result of these developments, lending institutions were unable to provide the everyday lending and liquidity that keep the economy working. Banks even balked at lending to one another in the overnight markets, which they normally do as a matter of routine.
Even as global recession fears grew, prices for oil and other key commodities rose stubbornly through most of the year on expectations of insatiable demand from China, India, and other developing countries. Thus, inflation threatened to combine with slowing growth to produce the dreaded “stagflation” that characterized the 1970s. But commodity prices retreated in 2008’s third quarter as it became clear that the frozen credit markets, rising home foreclosures, and shrinking consumer demand signaled worldwide economic contraction—not an overheating world economy.
Sensing a financial system in jeopardy, the U.S. government took a number of steps intended to rescue the system. In March, the Treasury Department persuaded the collapsing The Bear Stearns Companies Inc. to sell itself to JPMorgan Chase & Co., and the Federal Reserve Board opened up its short-term lending facilities to investment banks in an effort to alleviate the capital shortage. In July the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation took over failing mortgage-lender IndyMac Bancorp, Inc. But the activity did not hit fever pitch until September. In that month, federal regulators seized control of the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and took a controlling stake in insurance giant American International Group, Inc. Along with other market-greasing initiatives, the Treasury announced a $700 billion plan to buy troubled mortgage securities from financial institutions, removing the plummeting securities from the companies’ books. Also in September, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman Brothers”) filed for bankruptcy, Washington Mutual, Inc. was acquired by JPMorgan Chase, and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. sold itself to Bank of America Corporation. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and Morgan Stanley, by then the only remaining major stand-alone investment banks, petitioned the government to convert to chartered banks. The government also brokered Wachovia Corporation’s sale to Wells Fargo & Company. On top of these activities, the Fed lowered its federal-funds rate seven times during the last twelve months, ultimately to 1.00%. By October, other governments around the world were taking a number of similar measures.
As the crisis unfolded, U.S. stocks plunged. From November 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008, the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index (“S&P 500”) fell 36.10%. That was its largest twelve-month decline since the period from October 1973 to September 1974. The broader Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index (“DJ Wilshire 500”) dropped 36.43%.
International equity markets fared worse than the U.S., in part due to a rise in the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies (which lowers foreign returns for U.S. investors). The broad Morgan Stanley Capital International-EAFE Index fell 46.34% in dollar terms, and the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index lost more than half its value, tumbling 56.22%.
In the fixed-income markets, only the highest-quality bonds—Treasuries and other government issues, managed to post gains. Because the primary bond-market benchmark, the Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) Aggregate Bond Index (“BCAB”), is predominantly made up of government-backed bonds, it stayed slightly in the black for the period with a 0.30% return. But with credit fears rampant, bonds with even a little credit exposure lost value. Even investment-grade corporate bonds were down 13.82% as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate Aggregate Credit Investment Grade Index. High-yield bonds lost almost twice as much, and convertible bonds and emerging-markets debt notched big losses. The only safe asset classes truly were government bonds and cash. Yet not even all government bonds were safe: Treasury Inflation Protected Securities lost 4.11% for the period.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008 Transamerica Asset Allocation-Moderate Portfolio Class A returned (28.41)%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the DJ Wilshire 5000 and the BCAB, returned (36.43)% and 0.30%, respectively.
STRATEGY REVIEW
This fund-of-funds’ portfolio is structured to provide a mix of approximately 50% equity and 50% fixed-income securities (including cash). Its equity exposure is intended to provide broadly diversified coverage of domestic and international equity markets, across a range of market capitalizations and investment styles. The fixed-income portion covers investment-grade and credit-sensitive holdings, as well as international bonds. The portfolio also includes emerging markets, global real estate, and alternative strategies. The goal is to provide investors one-stop coverage of the financial markets, and the portfolio is more broadly diversified than most market indices or traditional balanced funds. Diversifying is a prudent way to invest for the long term because it is not possible to predict which asset classes and investment styles will outperform in any given quarter or year. But diversification does not prevent losses in unusual short-term periods when virtually all asset classes and styles drop simultaneously.
We consider the managers of our underlying funds to be top-notch within their specialties, but against the backdrop of largely indiscriminant market losses, most of our fund holdings ended deeply in the red. Throughout the period, the relative performance of the underlying funds sometimes changed significantly from one week to the next as the stock market swung widely (especially in October, when on a couple of occasions the S&P 500 moved more than 10% in a single day). It is thus not very illuminating to highlight, for example, which of our underlying U.S. stock funds were ahead of or behind the other funds as of an arbitrary October 31 ending date. Still, we can point to some of the higher-beta asset classes as being the most negative contributors. For example, the international funds were among the biggest decliners, with Transamerica Marsico

Transamerica Funds | | Annual Report 2008 |
Page 16
Transamerica Asset Allocation — Moderate Portfolio
International Growth’s loss being the steepest in the portfolio. Several of the smaller-cap funds and the technology and real-estate sector funds were also hit hard. But all of the domestic equity funds fell by more than 30%.
The bond portfolio, meanwhile, was hindered in its normal role of offsetting equity portfolio losses. The root cause of this past year’s market decline has been the credit crisis, and as noted, in that environment bonds with any credit sensitivity at all have suffered losses. Normally a predominantly investment-grade bond portfolio (such as ours) would tend to rise in value in times of stock-market volatility, but in this period only government bonds managed to avoid losses. Our portfolio owns government bonds, but also investment-grade corporate bonds, international bonds, high-yield bonds, convertibles, and emerging-markets debt. All of those asset classes fell in the period. In addition, Transamerica Loomis Sayles Bond, which is one of our larger bond holdings, had one of its rare bad years.
The four alternative-strategies funds, however, held up decently relative to the stock market. Indeed, Transamerica BNY Mellon Market Neutral Strategy was the only fund in the portfolio to post a positive return (other than Transamerica Money Market).
During the period we made investments in two new underlying funds, Transamerica Schroders International Small Cap and Transamerica WMC Emerging Markets. These complement the existing Transamerica Evergreen International Small Cap and Transamerica Oppenheimer Developing Markets funds. Both of the new funds were added to provide more capacity in their asset classes and to improve overall diversification in the international sleeve.
The financial markets have endured historic volatility over the past twelve months, and as of this writing are still driven mostly by fear as investors struggle to digest the impact of a recessionary economy.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
The twelve-month period through October 31, 2008 was one of the most difficult periods in history for the financial markets. The housing-market decline and collapse in sub-prime mortgage bonds were already underway entering the period, and became worse as the year progressed. Investment banks, commercial banks, insurers, and other financial institutions recorded massive writedowns on the values of mortgage-related securities on their books. This required them to raise replacement capital to meet capital-reserve requirements, yet the usual sources of capital—other financial institutions—were dealing with shortfalls of their own. As a result of these developments, lending institutions were unable to provide the everyday lending and liquidity that keep the economy working. Banks even balked at lending to one another in the overnight markets, which they normally do as a matter of routine.
Even as global recession fears grew, prices for oil and other key commodities rose stubbornly through most of the year on expectations of insatiable demand from China, India, and other developing countries. Thus, inflation threatened to combine with slowing growth to produce the dreaded “stagflation” that characterized the 1970s. But commodity prices retreated in 2008’s third quarter as it became clear that the frozen credit markets, rising home foreclosures, and shrinking consumer demand signaled worldwide economic contraction—not an overheating world economy.
Sensing a financial system in jeopardy, the U.S. government took a number of steps intended to rescue the system. In March, the Treasury Department persuaded the collapsing The Bear Stearns Companies Inc. to sell itself to JPMorgan Chase & Co., and the Federal Reserve Board opened up its short-term lending facilities to investment banks in an effort to alleviate the capital shortage. In July the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation took over failing mortgage-lender IndyMac Bancorp, Inc. But the activity did not hit fever pitch until September. In that month, federal regulators seized control of the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and took a controlling stake in insurance giant American International Group, Inc. Along with other market-greasing initiatives, the Treasury announced a $700 billion plan to buy troubled mortgage securities from financial institutions, removing the plummeting securities from the companies’ books. Also in September, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman Brothers”) filed for bankruptcy, Washington Mutual, Inc. was acquired by JPMorgan Chase, and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. sold itself to Bank of America Corporation. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and Morgan Stanley, by then the only remaining major stand-alone investment banks, petitioned the government to convert to chartered banks. The government also brokered Wachovia Corporation’s sale to Wells Fargo & Company. On top of these activities, the Fed lowered its federal-funds rate seven times during the last twelve months, ultimately to 1.00%. By October, other governments around the world were taking a number of similar measures.
As the crisis unfolded, U.S. stocks plunged. From November 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008, the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index (“S&P 500”) fell 36.10%. That was its largest twelve-month decline since the period from October 1973 to September 1974. The broader Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index (“DJ Wilshire 5000”) dropped 36.43%. International equity markets fared worse than the U.S., in part due to a rise in the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies (which lowers foreign returns for U.S. investors). The broad Morgan Stanley Capital International-EAFE Index fell 46.34% in dollar terms, and the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index lost more than half its value, tumbling 56.22%.
In the fixed-income markets, only the highest-quality bonds, Treasuries and other government issues, managed to post gains. Because the primary bond-market benchmark, the Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) Aggregate Bond Index (“BCAB”), is predominantly made up of government-backed bonds, it stayed slightly in the black for the period with a 0.30% return. But with credit fears rampant, bonds with even a little credit exposure lost value. Even investment-grade corporate bonds were down 13.82% as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Credit Corporate Investment Grade Index. High-yield bonds lost almost twice as much, and convertible bonds and emerging-markets debt notched big losses. The only safe asset classes truly were government bonds and cash. Yet not even all government bonds were safe: Treasury Inflation Protected Securities lost 4.11% for the period.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio Class A returned (21.08)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch 3-Month Treasury Bill + 3% Wrap, returned 5.84%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
There is no denying that performance, in absolute terms, was disappointing. A loss of more than 20% hurts no matter what the extenuating circumstances might be. We considered it extremely unlikely that a portfolio constructed as this one is would suffer losses of that magnitude, yet suffer it did.
That said, given the epic proportions of the crisis in which we find ourselves, we think we are not offering cheap consolation when we say that losing 20 cents on the dollar really is not catastrophic. Our losses were actually a little below those of an average hedge fund — the Morningstar 1000 Hedge Fund Index lost 22.45% in the past 12 months — and the portfolio behaved pretty much as expected: volatility stayed much closer to bonds than to stocks, and returns were about halfway between the two.
Last time we wrote this letter, we commented that the absolute-return segment of the portfolio was the weakest performer relative to the rest of the portfolio. The reverse was the case in the past twelve months. The 40% weight we target for these strategies performed, relatively speaking, the best. Transamerica BNY Mellon Market Neutral Strategy posted a gain, proving itself to be a true market-neutral offering. Transamerica UBS Dynamic Alpha and Transamerica Federated Market Opportunity posted losses, but nowhere nearly as deep and dramatic as those of the stock and the riskier parts of the credit markets. Fixed income exposure was half good, half bad. Transamerica JPMorgan International Bond was basically flat. The portfolio concentrates its holdings among the most highly-rated sovereigns and did not yield to the temptation to seek yield among corporate and emerging-markets debt, so it did not get hurt much by the credit debacle. The recent strength of the dollar ate away its gains, but overall, the portfolio did well compared to both the foreign bond markets and its Morningstar category peers. Things were dramatically

different with Transamerica Loomis Sayles Bond (“Loomis”). Loomis has always embraced yield and risk, relying on their expertise in analyzing credit. This time, however, they grievously underestimated the severity of the crisis. The portfolio had exposure to credit risk, including companies which were conventionally deemed “too big to fail”. Instead, many of these firms faced existential threats that some of them did not survive. The Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Lehman Brothers Brothers were among the Loomis holdings that did not make it, and the fund’s unprecedented 23.56% loss was the grim consequence. Then there was the equity exposure, whose traditionally less-correlated nature failed to assert itself. In a crisis of this magnitude all correlations move towards one, and this is exactly what happened. Natural resources and real estate got crushed, and so did emerging markets and international small caps. All of the funds in the equity share of the portfolio lost in excess of 40%. Since we are not tactical managers, we typically do not adjust our long-term target exposures in reaction to market developments. We did, however, decide not to fight the markets and let the equity sleeve of the portfolio contract to just over 20%, down from its target of 28%. We will be looking to reverse that whenever we see signs of stabilization in the world’s capital markets.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.
The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any expenses from the Fund’s investment in other affiliated investment companies.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Over the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2008 international markets suffered through one of the most difficult periods in their history. The decline of the U.S. housing market and collapse of sub-prime mortgage bonds, already underway entering the period, worsened during 2008, prompting a series of spectacular failures in the U.S. financial system that hit fever pitch in September. International markets faced mounting concerns over a global economic slowdown even as prices for oil and other key commodities rose stubbornly through most of the period on expectations of continued demand growth in China, India, and other developing countries. Fears over the reappearance of the “stagflation” that characterized the 1970s, however, abated by late summer as it became clear that frozen credit markets, continued home foreclosures, rising unemployment, and shrinking consumer demand signaled not only reduced inflation, but also the onset of a significant global recession.
International equities fared even worse than U.S. stocks during the period. The Morgan Stanley Capital International World ex-U.S. Index (“MSCIW ex USA”) fell 40.49% in local-currency terms, with the weakness spread more or less evenly around the globe. The U.S. dollar strengthened against foreign currencies, which were hurt by inflation fears during the summer, and this only worsened international equity returns for U.S.-based investors. In dollar terms, the MSCIW ex USA fell 46.26% during the period. Small caps and emerging-markets stocks fared worse than large caps. The Morgan Stanley Capital International Small Cap Index lost 53.51% and the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index lost 56.35%.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Multi-Manager International Portfolio Class A returned (48.61)%. By comparison its benchmark, the MSCIW ex USA, returned (46.26)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
Transamerica Multi-Manager International Portfolio is a fund-of-funds structured to provide broad coverage of international equity markets. Its eleven underlying portfolio holdings cover a range of international investing styles, including large value, large growth, mid cap, small cap, emerging markets, global real estate, and global tactical asset allocation. The portfolio typically has approximately 80% of assets in developed-markets stocks and 20% in emerging-markets stocks. Large-cap stocks take up 65% to 70% of the portfolio, with mid- and small-cap stocks comprising 30% to 35%. The portfolio contains smaller positions of about 5% of assets each in the underlying global real estate and global tactical asset-allocation funds.
Our objective for the portfolio is to provide investors with comprehensive coverage of international markets in a single investment vehicle. As such, the portfolio is more broadly diversified than most international portfolios or indices. This is a prudent way to invest for the long term because it is impossible to predict which asset classes and investment styles will outperform during any particular shorter-term period. In an unusual year like the one we have just experienced, however, broad diversification could not prevent significant losses as virtually all parts of international markets fell simultaneously.
The portfolio lagged the predominantly large-cap MSCIW ex USA. It was held back to some extent by its exposure to mid- and small-cap stocks and emerging-markets stocks, which trailed large caps by significant margins and are not represented in the index. Transamerica Evergreen International Small Cap and Transamerica Marsico International Growth lost significantly partly because of the substantial number of emerging-markets stocks in their portfolios. A lack of smaller-cap or emerging-markets exposure, however, did not immunize funds against major losses. Transamerica AllianceBernstein International Value, for example, a straightforward large-cap value fund was hurt badly by its financials holdings.
On the plus side, relatively speaking, Transamerica BlackRock Global Allocation managed to sidestep much of the calamity by seeking solace in bonds and cash. Transamerica Oppenheimer Developing Markets, our principal source of emerging-markets exposure, performed better than the overall fund and more than eight percentage points better than the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
During the period, we made investments in four new underlying funds to improve the overall diversification and quality of our fund-of-funds. Transamerica Schroders International Small Cap and Transamerica WMC Emerging Markets were added to complement the existing Transamerica Evergreen International Small Cap and Transamerica Oppenheimer Developing Markets funds. The new funds were added to provide more capacity in smaller cap and emerging markets, respectively, and to broaden our coverage in those areas. Transamerica Schroders International Small Cap, for example, employs a smaller-cap value-oriented style that complements Transamerica Evergreen International Small Cap growth-oriented approach. We also added two large-cap funds to further diversify our offerings in the area where the largest amount of the portfolio’s assets are allocated. Transamerica MFS International Equity is a core-growth offering with lower volatility than our existing large-core and large-growth funds. Transamerica Thornburg International Value is a more eclectic, non-benchmark-driven large-cap strategy that has met with almost unparalleled success over the past decade.
The financial markets have endured historic volatility over the past twelve months and, as of this writing, are still in the throes of it as investors struggle to digest the impact of the global recession. International markets will recover, however, and over the long haul should remain an important part of most investor’s portfolios. We believe this fund-of-funds, with its broad-based diversification, remains one of the most prudent ways to access international markets.

NOTES
| | |
1 | | The Morgan Stanley Capital International World ex USA (MSCI World ex USA Gross (USD)) Index is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The from inception calculation is based on the life of Class A shares. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions nor the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end.
Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares.
Net Asset Value (NAV) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges.
This material must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus, which includes specific contents regarding the investment objectives and policies of this Fund.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.
The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any expenses from the Fund’s investment in other affiliated investment companies.

| | |
(a) | | Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days). |
|
(b) | | 5% return per year before expenses. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
At October 31, 2008
(all amounts in thousands)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Transamerica Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Transamerica Asset Allocation—Conservative Portfolio, Transamerica Asset Allocation—Growth Portfolio, Transamerica Asset Allocation—Moderate Growth Portfolio, Transamerica Asset Allocation—Moderate Portfolio, Transamerica Multi—Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio, and Transamerica Multi—Manager International Portfolio (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) are part of Transamerica Funds.
Effective March 1, 2008, Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds changed its name to Transamerica Funds. Also effective on March 1, 2008, “TA IDEX” was removed from the beginning of each Fund name and replaced with “Transamerica”.
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
This report should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ current prospectus, which contains more complete information about the Funds.
In preparing the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), estimates or assumptions (which could differ from actual results) may be used that affect reported amounts and disclosures. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
Multiple class operations, income, and expenses: The Funds, with the exception of Transamerica Multi—Manager International Portfolio and Transamerica Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio, currently offer four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class R. Transamerica Multi—Manager International Portfolio currently offers three classes of shares, Class A, Class B, and Class C.
Transamerica Multi—Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio currently offers two classes of shares, Class A and Class C. Each class has a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase.
Income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class, based upon the value of shares outstanding method as permitted under Rule 18f-3 of the 1940 Act. Each class bears its own specific expenses as well as a portion of general, common expenses.
Security valuations: Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued its new Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 is designed to unify guidance for the measurement of fair value of all types of assets, including financial instruments, and certain liabilities, throughout a number of accounting standards. FAS 157 also establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements that are relevant to mutual funds. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and earlier application is permitted.
As of October 31, 2008, Management does not expect the adoption of FAS 157 to impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain of the measurements reported in the statement of operations for a fiscal period.
Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification basis. Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends and net realized gain (loss) from investment securities for the Funds are from investments in shares of affiliated investment companies.
Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold during the first five (5) New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) trading days following their purchase date. This redemption fee will equal 2% of the amount redeemed and shares held the longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held the shortest as being redeemed last. For the year ended October 31, 2008, the Funds received redemption fees, which are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Dividend distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations.

The right of a participant to receive a distribution from the Plan of the deferred fees is an unfunded and unsecured claim against the general assets of all series of Transamerica Funds.

NOTE 2. (continued)
The pro rata liability to the Funds of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of October 31, 2008, to the following:
| | | | |

Transamerica Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio | | | 5 | |

Retirement plan: Under a prior retirement plan (the “Emeritus Plan”) available to the Independent Trustees, each Independent Trustee is deemed to have elected to serve as Trustee Emeritus of Transamerica Funds upon his or her termination of service, other than removal for cause, for a maximum period of five years determined by his or her years of service as a Trustee.
Such amounts shall be accrued by Transamerica Funds on a pro rata basis allocable to each Transamerica Fund based on the relative assets of the fund. If retainers increase in the future, past accruals (and credits) will be adjusted upward so that 50% of the Trustee’s current retainer is accrued and credited at all times. Upon death, disability or termination of service, other than removal for cause, amounts deferred become payable to an Emeritus Trustee (or his/her beneficiary). Upon the commencement of service as Trustee Emeritus, compensation will be paid on a quarterly basis during the time period that the Trustee Emeritus is allowed to serve as such.
At October 31, 2008, the Funds’ liabilities related to the Emeritus Plan were as follows:
| | | | |
| | Emeritus |
Fund | | Fees |
|
Transamerica Asset Allocation — Conservative Portfolio | | $ | 6 | |

Transamerica Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio | | | — | |
Transamerica Multi-Manager International Portfolio | | | 1 | |
Amounts deferred and accrued under the Deferred Compensation and Emeritus Plans are unfunded and unsecured claims against the general assets of Transamerica Funds.
The Emeritus Plan was terminated effective October 30, 2007. Upon the termination, the Funds shall continue to pay any remaining benefits in accordance with the Plan, but no further compensation shall accrue under the Plan.
Brokerage commissions: There were no brokerage commissions incurred by the Funds on security transactions placed with affiliates of the advisers for the year ended October 31, 2008.

NOTE 4. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Funds have not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to their policy to distribute all of their taxable income and capital gains to their shareholders and otherwise qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Management has evaluated the Funds tax provisions taken for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds financial statements. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatment for items including, but not limited to, wash sales, structured notes, foreign bonds, swaps, net operating losses and distribution reclasses.
Therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences. These reclassifications are as follows:

NOTE 5. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In March 2008, the FASB issued its new Standard No. 161, “Disclosure About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about a Fund’s derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Transamerica Asset Allocation — Conservative Portfolio, Transamerica Asset Allocation — Growth Portfolio, Transamerica Asset Allocation - Moderate Growth Portfolio, Transamerica Asset Allocation — Moderate Portfolio, Transamerica Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio, and Transamerica Multi-Manager International Portfolio:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Transamerica Asset Allocation — Conservative Portfolio, Transamerica Asset Allocation — Growth Portfolio, Transamerica Asset Allocation — Moderate Growth Portfolio, Transamerica Asset Allocation - - Moderate Portfolio, Transamerica Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio, and Transamerica Multi-Manager International Portfolio (individually a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”) at October 31, 2008, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

This annual report is provided to you with the intent of presenting a comprehensive review of the investments of each of your funds. The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that annual and semi-annual reports be sent to all shareholders, and we believe this report to be an important part of the investment process. In addition to providing a comprehensive review, this report also provides a discussion of accounting policies as well as matters presented to shareholders that may have required their vote.
We believe it is important to recognize and understand current market conditions in order to provide a context for reading this report. Both equity and fixed-income markets have experienced extreme volatility and accelerating downward pricing pressure over the past twelve months as a credit crisis has had profound effects on the financial markets and has spilled over into the global economy. Oil prices rose dramatically throughout the first seven months of 2008 and have fallen precipitously since then as the global economy has struggled and demand has declined. The Federal Reserve has lowered the federal funds rate during the past twelve months from 4.25% in November 2007 to 1.00% at the end of October 2008 as it has sought to provide liquidity in a difficult market environment. The Treasury department has also been taking an active role in an effort to stabilize the markets, including the initiation of the Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds and the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP). The job market continues to struggle, as non-farm payrolls have weakened and the unemployment rate has risen to over 6%. In this environment, investors have flocked to money market instruments and Treasuries in a flight to quality. Many funds have struggled to produce positive returns. For the twelve months ending October 31, 2008, the Dow Jones Industrial Average returned -31.24%, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index returned -36.10%, and the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Bond Index returned 0.30%. Please keep in mind it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio as investment returns have historically been difficult to predict.
In addition to your active involvement in the investment process, we firmly believe that a financial advisor is a key resource to help you build a complete picture of your current and future financial needs. Financial advisors are familiar with the market’s history, including long-term returns and volatility of various asset classes. With your financial advisor, you can develop an investment program that incorporates factors such as your goals, your investment timeline, and your risk tolerance.
Please contact your financial advisor if you have any questions about the contents of this report, and thanks again for the confidence you have placed in us.
Sincerely,

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Faced with many challenges in the twelve months ended October 31, 2008, US equity indices delivered double-digit negative returns across the board. Stocks underperformed bonds, as the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index (“S&P 500”) declined 36.10% and the Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) US Government/Credit Bond Index (“BCGC”) fell 1.06%.
Throughout the period, problems plaguing the housing market continued, while commodity prices first soared then plummeted. Meanwhile, what began as concerns about securities related to defaulting sub-prime mortgages escalated into a variety of increasingly severe crises in the markets where banks lend to each other and to businesses, causing extreme disruption in both US and foreign financial markets. As the problems multiplied, financial institutions tightened their lending standards. The higher borrowing costs made it more difficult for companies to fund payroll, inventory and other near-term expenses. Consumers, who already were feeling the effects of higher energy and food prices and rising unemployment, also found it more difficult to borrow. Although the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) and the US government intervened to restore confidence in the financial systems, the US headed toward recession and expectations of a global economic slowdown increased.
A 60% equity/40% bond blend of the above mentioned indices declined 23.39% during the period.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Balanced Class A returned (33.55)%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the S&P 500 and the BCGC, returned (36.10)% and (1.06)%, respectively.
STRATEGY REVIEW
Transamerica Balanced’s twelve-month return reflects an overweighting in equities, which underperformed bonds, and underperformance of the equity and bond portfolios as compared to their respective benchmarks.
On the equity side, the key factors in the lagging returns were our underweighting in the top-performing consumer staples sector and poor results for some of our automotive/transportation holdings (e.g., Daimler AG (“Daimler”)). Daimler suffered during the year due primarily to the downward trend in automotive sales worldwide and the lack of financing available to consumers. Partially offsetting these declines were our selections in the healthcare (e.g., Gilead Sciences, Inc. (“Gilead”)) and producer durables (e.g., W.W. Grainger, Inc. (“Grainger”)) sectors. Gilead, a biopharmaceutical company working on treatments for cures to life-threatening diseases, has benefited from competitors being merged, which reduced its competition. Grainger, a building maintenance supply company, has implemented improvement projects within its businesses. This company-specific catalyst enabled Grainger to take market share from competitors, partially offsetting the effects of a weaker economy. The portfolio also benefited from our underweighting the financials sector.
In the bond portfolio, an overweighting of non-government sectors (i.e., investment-grade corporate securities and agency mortgage securities), which lagged the Treasury sector, was the primary source of underperformance. The negative effect of these overweightings was partially mitigated by our individual security selection. Among investment-grade corporate bonds, we had no exposure to the most distressed companies in the troubled financial services sector. On the mortgage side, our emphasis was on short-duration agency collateralized mortgage obligations, which were less volatile than other mortgage securities.
We believe a consumer-driven recession has already arrived. We believe the federal government’s $700-billion rescue of the financial services sector, the biggest government intervention in the financial system since the 1930s, should provide some much-needed rationality in the markets. We believe it should help to rebuild trust among financial institutions and reduce the severity of the recession. The equity portfolio is populated with securities of companies that, in our opinion, have capable management teams, strong balance sheets and highly competitive positions, and that stand to benefit from long-term secular trends. We believe these traits will allow the companies to weather a recession better than most and emerge as stronger competitors on the other side. On the bond side, we are maintaining a relatively cautious stance, with a shorter-than-index duration and a focus on quality.

NOTES
| | |
1 | | The Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index (S&P 500) and the Barclays Capital Government/Credit Bond Index are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (NAV) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges.
This material must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus, which includes specific contents regarding the investment objectives and policies of this fund.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

Hypothetical (b) | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,014.78 | | | | 2.06 | | | | 10.43 | |
| | |
(a) | | Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days). |
|
(b) | | 5% return per year before expenses. |

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Faced with many challenges in the twelve months ended October 31, 2008, US stocks lost ground, and the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index (“S&P 500”) declined 36.10%. Convertibles, which are highly sensitive to equity-market trends, followed stocks lower; the Merrill Lynch All US Convertible Securities Index (“MLCI”) declined 38.49%.
What began as concerns about securities related to defaulting sub-prime mortgages escalated into a variety of increasingly severe credit crises. Overnight lending between banks, a vital part of maintaining the flow of capital in the financial system, was disrupted as banks increasingly worried about undisclosed risks from exotic securities. As credit problems multiplied, financial institutions focused on protecting their financial positions and demanded higher yields on corporate debt to compensate for the greater risk associated with the uncertain environment. This made it more difficult and expensive for businesses to issue debt, causing Wall Street’s problems to spill over to Main Street, where businesses were already dealing with the signs of a slowing economy, including falling home prices, rising costs for food and energy, higher unemployment, lack of wage growth and tighter credit conditions. Although the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) and the US government intervened on several occasions, taking somewhat unprecedented measures, the credit crisis persisted and the economic outlook continued to dim.
Convertibles generally fare better than stocks during equity bear markets. That was not the case toward the end of the period. To raise cash, large institutional holders of convertibles (e.g., hedge funds) sold convertibles in volume. Additionally, corporate debt yields climbed, reducing the value of convertibles’ debt component.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Convertible Securities Class A returned (38.92)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the MLCI returned (38.49)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
We seek the convertibles of well-run companies that generate free cash flow and stand to benefit from positive changes in the companies, their industries, or the external forces driving their businesses. These parameters led us to trim back the portfolio’s investments in securities from consumer discretionary companies, many of which were very susceptible to the worsening economy. This benefited the portfolio late in the period, as the poor economic situation became increasingly apparent. Also working to the portfolio’s advantage was an increased focus on securities from companies whose business models allowed them to weather the economic downturn relatively well. Among the portfolio’s large contributors to results was Gilead Sciences, Inc. (“Gilead”), a biopharmaceutical company. Gilead, which develops and markets treatments for diseases such as hepatitis C and HIV, saw steady product demand. Another top-performer was Informatica Corporation, a software company providing enterprise data integration. The company receives recurring cash flows from licensing and maintaining its software programs.
A key detractor was the portfolio’s overweighting in the energy sector. Early in the period, as commodity prices soared, our selections in natural gas producer Chesapeake Energy Corporation and oil services provider Schlumberger Limited (“Schlumberger”) garnered positive returns. When commodity prices later declined, performance in this sector followed suit.
We believe a consumer-driven recession has already arrived. We believe the federal government’s $700-billion rescue of the financial services sector should provide some much-needed rationality in the markets. We believe it should help to rebuild trust among financial institutions and serve to shorten or at least reduce the severity of the recession. In the interim, market conditions likely will not be favorable. With that in mind, we are seeking securities of non-cyclical businesses that we believe benefit from long-term secular trends and thus can hold their own amidst the turbulence.

NOTES
| | |
1 | | The Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertibles Index is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. You cannot directly invest in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 4.75% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (NAV) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypotetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

| | |
(a) | | Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days). |
|
(b) | | 5% return per year before expenses. |

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Faced with many challenges in the twelve months ended October 31, 2008, US equity indices delivered double-digit negative returns across the board. The Russell 1000® Growth Index (“Russell 1000 Growth”) declined 36.95%.
Throughout the period, problems plaguing the housing market continued, while commodity prices first soared then plummeted. Meanwhile, what began as concerns about securities related to defaulting sub-prime mortgages escalated into a variety of increasingly severe crises in the markets where banks lend to each other and to businesses, causing extreme disruption in both US and foreign financial markets. As the problems multiplied, financial institutions tightened their lending standards. This made it more difficult for companies to fund payroll, inventory and other near-term expenses in the face of high borrowing costs. Consumers, who already were feeling the effects of high energy prices, increasing food costs, rising unemployment and lack of wage growth, also found it more difficult to borrow. Although the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) and the US government intervened to restore confidence in the financial systems, the US headed toward recession and expectations of a global economic slowdown rose.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Equity Class A returned (43.25)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth, returned (36.95)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
The Fund lagged the index due primarily to poor results from our holdings within the automotive/transportation (e.g., Daimler AG (“Daimler”)), technology (e.g., Research in Motion Limited (“RIMM”)), and consumer discretionary (e.g., MGM Mirage (“MGM”)) sectors. Daimler suffered during the year as a result of the downward trend in automotive sales worldwide, a trend that was heightened by consumers’ difficulty in obtaining automotive loans. We believe RIMM’s performance can be attributed to the concerns of slowing consumer spending rather than to any deterioration in company fundamentals. We sold our position in MGM in early 2008, based on our belief that discretionary spending on travel and entertainment would slow.
Partially offsetting these declines were our selections in materials/processing (e.g., Praxair, Inc. (“Praxair”)) and healthcare (e.g., Gilead Sciences, Inc. (“Gilead”)) and our cash position. Praxair, a producer and distributor of industrial gases, held up relatively well because its stable business model emphasizes long-term contracts. We believe this will help the company maintain its already strong market share. Gilead, a biopharmaceutical company working on treatments for cures to life-threatening diseases, has benefited from competitors’ mergers, which reduced its competition. Our goal is to be fully invested at all times, and cash has historically averaged less than 5% of portfolio assets. However, as market conditions worsened, we let our cash position build slightly so that we could redeploy the assets in attractive new opportunities as they arose.
We believe a consumer-driven recession has already arrived. We believe the federal government’s $700-billion rescue of the financial services sector, the biggest government intervention in the financial system since the 1930s, should provide some much-needed rationality in the markets. We believe it should help to rebuild trust among financial institutions and serve to shorten or at least reduce the severity of the recession. In the interim, high levels of market volatility likely will persist. The portfolio is populated with stocks of companies that, in our opinion, have capable management teams, strong balance sheets and highly competitive positions, and we believe stand to benefit from long-term secular trends.

NOTES
| | |
1 | | The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares (8.5% for Class T) or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (NAV) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges.
This material must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus, which includes specific contents regarding the investment objectives and policies of this Fund. Class T is closed to new investments.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

(a) | | Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days). |

(b) | | 5% return per year before expenses. |

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
In the twelve months ended October 31, 2008, conditions in the economy and credit markets deteriorated, creating a very unstable environment for bond investors. The Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) US Government/Credit Bond Index (“BCGC”) declined 1.06%.
What began as concerns about securities related to defaulting sub-prime mortgages escalated into a variety of increasingly severe crises. Overnight lending between banks, a vital part of maintaining the flow of capital in the financial system, was disrupted as banks increasingly worried about undisclosed risks from exotic securities and the financial strength and stability of other banks. As credit problems multiplied, financial institutions focused on preserving capital and were more selective about lending, making it more difficult for businesses to fund payroll, inventory and other near-term expenses.
The risk aversion eventually spread from Wall Street to Main Street, where it added to growing problems on the economic front. Throughout the period, the housing market continued to deteriorate, while commodity prices were volatile. Rising unemployment, coupled with lack of wage growth and tighter credit conditions, caused consumers to rein in their spending. The reduction in consumer spending, which is the backbone of the US economy, exacerbated problems further.
The Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) and the US government intervened on several occasions, taking unprecedented measures to curb the crises, improve liquidity, and stimulate the economy. Among the many initiatives were new government-guaranteed loans, larger and more varied lending facilities for banks, and the federal bailout or takeover of major financial institutions. Even with the government’s intervention, the expectations of a global economic slowdown and US recession rose. Nearing the end of the period, investors flocked to the relative safety of US government debt, and Treasury yields declined rapidly. Finally, as concerns about how a slowing economy would affect mortgages and corporate profits, yields on other securities rose, and prices for most non-government securities fell.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Flexible Income Class A returned (16.57)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the BCGC, returned (1.06)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
Throughout the period, the portfolio generated competitive yields, aided by an overweighting in corporate bonds, an area where yields generally rose. However, as the market tumult came to a head and yield spreads between government and corporate bonds grew, this overweighting hindered performance. Although the overweighting in corporate bonds had a negative impact to performance, our selections within the group helped mitigate losses. We stayed away from the most distressed companies (i.e., Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman Brothers”), American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) and Washington Mutual, Inc.) and had no exposure to sub-prime mortgage securities.
Portfolio management responsibilities were transferred to a new team at Transamerica Investment Management, LLC as of October 1, 2008. The new team began repositioning the portfolio while maintaining the portfolio’s mandate of income generation. Our focus became less on corporate issues and more on a diversified pool of fixed-income generating assets, including agency mortgage backed securities (“MBS”). Agency MBS were less volatile than other fixed-income securities because the government, in bailing out the securities’ issuers, had strengthened its guarantee of these securities.
We believe a consumer-driven recession has already arrived. We believe the federal government’s $700-billion rescue of the financial services sector should provide some much-needed rationality in the markets. We believe it should help to rebuild trust among financial institutions and reduce the severity of the recession. In the interim, high levels of market volatility likely will persist.

NOTES
| | |
1 | | The Barclays Capital Government/Credit Bond Index is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 4.75% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (NAV) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

(a) | | Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days). |
|
(b) | | 5% return per year before expenses. |

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Faced with many challenges in the twelve months ended October 31, 2008, US equity indices delivered double-digit negative returns across the board. The Russell Midcap® Growth Index (“Russell Midcap Growth”) declined 42.65%.
Throughout the period, problems plaguing the housing market continued, while commodity prices first soared then plummeted. Meanwhile, what began as concerns about securities related to defaulting sub-prime mortgages escalated into a variety of increasingly severe crises in the markets where banks lend to each other and to businesses, causing extreme disruption in both US and foreign financial markets. As the problems multiplied, financial institutions tightened their lending standards. This made it more difficult for companies to fund payroll, inventory and other near-term expenses in the face of high borrowing costs. Consumers, already feeling the effects of higher energy and food prices, rising unemployment and lack of wage growth, also found it more difficult to borrow. Although the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) and the U.S. government intervened to restore confidence in the financial systems, the US headed toward recession and expectations of a global economic slowdown rose.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Growth Opportunities Class A returned (42.37)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth, returned (42.65)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
We attribute the outperformance primarily to stock selections in the producer durables (e.g., W.W. Grainger, Inc. (“Grainger”)), automotive/transportation (e.g., C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. (“C.H. Robinson”)) and consumer discretionary (e.g., Strayer Education, Inc. (“Strayer”)) sectors. Grainger, a building maintenance supply company, has implemented improvement projects within its businesses. This company-specific catalyst enabled Grainger to take market share from smaller competitors that lacked financing opportunities. C.H. Robinson, a freight-logistics company, has been investing in the latest shipping technologies and is taking market share from under-financed competitors. Strayer, a leader in undergraduate and graduate degree programs for working adults, continued to achieve consistent growth, aided in part by the fact that, during periods of economic weakness and when jobs are scarcer, people tend to focus on improving their skills.
Because cash outperformed stocks, a modest cash position at certain times also was a net contributor to performance. Our goal is to be fully invested at all times. However, as certain of our long-term investment themes matured amidst the market volatility, we sold holdings and allowed cash to build modestly, biding our time briefly before buying into new opportunities that became available at more attractive prices as the market fell.
The largest detractors from relative performance were holdings in the healthcare (e.g., ArthroCare Corporation (“ArthroCare”)), technology (e.g., SiRF Technology Holdings, Inc. (“SiRF”)) and consumer staples (e.g., Whole Foods Market, Inc. (“Whole Foods”)) sectors. ArthroCare, which develops medical devices for use in soft-tissue surgery, restated company financials. SiRF, a maker of global positioning systems (“GPS”) semiconductor chips, lost ground as it became apparent that the commoditization of GPS chips was occurring more rapidly than we anticipated. Results for Whole Foods, the organic food grocer, weakened as a slowdown in consumer spending spread to luxury items. We sold all three stocks.
We believe a consumer-driven recession has already arrived. We believe the federal government’s $700-billion rescue of the financial services sector should provide some much-needed rationality in the markets. We believe it should help to rebuild trust among financial institutions and reduce the severity of the recession. In the interim, high levels of market volatility likely will persist.

NOTES
| | |
1 | | The Russell Midcap Growth Index is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (NAV) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges.
This material must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus, which includes specific contents regarding the investment objectives and policies of this Fund.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

| | |
(a) | | Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days). |
|
(b) | | 5% return per year before expenses. |

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
The turmoil on Wall Street has now infected Main Street. What began as a sell-off in the small sub-prime mortgage market has snowballed into a global de-leveraging within the financial community. As underlying collateral erodes in price, asset write-downs have called many financial institutions’ capital adequacy into question. As these institutions struggle to maintain their balance sheet, the lifeline of credit to individuals and businesses alike has been all but terminated. The result has been a rapidly deteriorating real economy over the past few months with almost every economic indicator registering clear signs of impending recession.
The authorities have not been oblivious to the seizing-up of financial markets. All stops have been pulled out as the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) and US Treasury have introduced numerous and massive liquidity measures into the system to revive the ailing credit markets. The risk of a significant recession and an increasing number of defaults pose the most challenging risk to the portfolio over the next fiscal year.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica High Yield Bond Class A returned (25.46)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch High Yield Cash Pay Index (“Merrill Lynch High Yield”), returned (26.43)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
The portfolio’s out-performance for the fiscal year versus Merrill Lynch High Yield was partially attributable to the portfolio’s underweight in CCC securities. For the year, we maintained the allocation to CCC securities in the range of 6-8% of portfolio assets, versus an 18-20% range of CCC securities for the benchmark. The Merrill Lynch CCC index under-performed BB’s by 15.5% and Single B’s by 12.0% during the one year period ended October 31, 2008.
The benefit from our over-weighting in higher rated securities was partially offset by underperformance of several sectors and securities. Negative sector contributors for the previous fiscal year include our over-weight in the gaming sector and underweight in wireless telecommunications. On an individual name basis, over-weight allocations to VeraSun Energy Corporation, R.H. Donnelley Corporation, Nuveen Investments, Inc., Idearc Inc., Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation, and The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc. hurt performance. Positive sector contributors include our underweight in automotive and banking, as well as an overweight in aerospace / defense.
We believe fundamentals will remain challenging over the next twelve months. Unemployment rates are increasing, consumers are retrenching, and profits are declining. The tight credit markets are forcing companies to re-evaluate all non-essential capital spending as access to capital is expensive for high quality companies and inaccessible for many lower quality high yield issuers. In addition, technicals in the high yield market remain very weak as aggressive selling by hedge funds and other levered investors force prices lower.
These weak fundamentals and technicals present a challenging backdrop for the high yield investing. However, the relentless selling has pushed valuations to levels never seen before in the high yield market. As of October 31, 2008, the high yield market is trading approximately 350bps wider than any previous time period.
Currently the portfolio is positioned relatively conservatively, with a low (6.2%) allocation to CCC securities. We believe this defensive positioning is prudent given the weak backdrop and forecast for defaults to increase dramatically from a low 3.1% trailing twelve month rate as of October 31, 2008. In addition, the BB and Single B sub-sectors appear to be the cheapest on a historical basis.
We believe our current strategy has the portfolio set to outperform in the current environment. However, we also believe the recent forced selling is creating opportunities and will look to capitalize on those opportunities as prices dramatically overshoot fair value.

NOTES
| | |
1 | | The Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield, Cash Pay Index is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 4.75% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (NAV) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges.
Investments in high-yield bonds (“junk bonds”) may be subject to greater volatility and risks as the income derived from these securities is not guaranteed and may be unpredictable. This material must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus, which includes specific contents regarding the investment objectives and policies of this Fund.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

| | |
(a) | | Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days). |
|
(b) | | 5% return per year before expenses. |

|
Aaa | | Obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the highest quality, with minimal credit risk. |
| | |
Aa | | Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality, and are subject to very low credit risk, but their susceptibility to long-term risks appears somewhat greater. |
| | |
A | | Obligations rated A are considered upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk, but have elements present that suggest a susceptibility to impairment over the long term. |
| | |
Baa | | Obligations rated Baa are subject to moderate credit risk. They are considered medium-grade and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics. |
| | |
Ba | | Obligations rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements and are subject to substantial credit risk. |
| | |
B | | Obligations rated B are considered speculative, are subject to high credit risk, and have generally poor credit risk. |
| | |
Caa | | Obligations rated Caa are judged to be of poor standing, are subject to very high credit risk, and have extremely poor credit quality. |
| | |
Ca | | Obligations rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest. |
| | |
C | | Obligations rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest. |

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
The stock market experienced rising volatility during the last fiscal year, with this reaching very high levels toward the end of the year. Concerns over the financial conditions within the banking and financial services sectors led to sharp declines in most stock indices. Exacerbating the decline in equity values were the actions of hedge funds which apparently had to liquidate some of their major holdings in the last quarter of fiscal 2008.
Outside of the financial services sector, many companies are in the strongest cash and financial positions in history. There is a long list of publicly traded corporations whose enterprise values are less than equal to 90% of the total value of their common stocks. In other words, many companies have at least a net cash position of 10% of the value of their shares outstanding. Because of this, the market performance of many companies seemed divorced from reality as the fiscal year wore on. Economic uncertainties accounted for some of this but we believe the action of hedge funds was equally or more important. In recent years, hedge funds have made up an increasing percentage of daily trading and often times their focus is short-term in nature. The use of leverage by many hedge funds accentuated their effect on the stock market, especially during the third quarter in 2008.
Our principal response was to do our best to avoid the “problem companies” in fiscal 2008. In the last market cycle (2001-2002), the poster children for bad corporate behavior were Enron Corporation, WorldCom, and Adelphia Communications Corporation. During 2008, The Bear Stearns Companies Inc., American International Group, Inc., Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), the latter two Government Sponsored Enterprises all declared bankruptcy or were forced into receivership. We held none of these companies in the portfolio during the periods leading up to their bankruptcies.
With the stock market focusing on the credit and liquidity problems in the banking sector, we focused on those companies whose balance sheets were strong and whose longer term business prospects were sound, in our opinion. Although we are an all-cap manager, analysis suggested that larger companies represented a very attractive segment of the market on both relative and absolute basis. Larger companies seem as cheap as they have been at any time in the last 25 years. They now make up a larger percentage of our portfolios than at any time in the last 5 years.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Legg Mason Partners All Cap Class A returned (35.81)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index, returned (36.60)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
For the fiscal year, stock selection in the financials and consumer staples sectors contributed to absolute performance while energy and information technology sectors detracted the most from absolute performance.
The top stock contributors to portfolio performance during the fiscal year were Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (“Wal-Mart”), The Chubb Corporation (“Chubb”), Visa Inc., Verisign Inc., and AirTran Holdings Inc. The largest detractors from performance were Motorola, Inc.,Vodafone Group Plc — ADS, General Electric Company, Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. GDR (“Samsung”).

The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

Hypothetical (b) | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,014.53 | | | | 2.11 | | | | 10.68 | |
| | |
(a) | | Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days). |
|
(b) | | 5% return per year before expenses. |

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Faced with many challenges in the twelve months ended October 31, 2008, US equity indices delivered double-digit negative returns across the board. The Dow Jones US Technology Index (“DJ Technology”) declined 40.90%.
Throughout the period, problems plaguing the housing market continued, while commodity prices first soared then plummeted. Meanwhile, what began as concerns about securities related to defaulting sub-prime mortgages escalated into a variety of increasingly severe crises in the markets where banks lend to each other and to businesses, causing extreme disruption in both US and foreign financial markets. As the problems multiplied, financial institutions tightened their lending standards. This made it more difficult for companies to fund payroll, inventory and other near-term expenses in the face of high borrowing costs. Consumers, who already were feeling the effects of higher energy and food prices and lack of wage growth, also found it more difficult to borrow. Although the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) and the US government intervened to restore confidence in the financial systems, the US headed toward recession and expectations of a global economic slowdown rose.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Science & Technology Class A returned (48.18)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the DJ Technology, returned (40.90)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
We position the portfolio to benefit from at least one of several long-term secular trends that we believe can be the source of strong growth for a company. Among these are the digitization of media for mass consumer adoption, and development and delivery of alternative energy and other environmental sustainability projects. Other trends underlying our stock selections are the unique application of technology to gain a competitive edge and the development of biotechnology products and treatments that improve the quality and efficacy of health care.
Despite our focus on these secular growth trends, the stocks in the portfolio were generally unable to withstand the broad-scale sell-off of technology stocks that occurred during the period. Driving that sell-off were hedge funds and other major holders of technology stocks that were forced to sell securities in order to raise capital.
The largest detractors from performance were technology sector holdings (e.g., SiRF Technology Holdings, Inc. (“SiRF”) and SunPower Corporation (“SunPower”)). We sold SiRF, a maker of global positioning systems (“GPS”) semiconductor chips, when it became apparent that the commoditization of GPS chips was occurring more rapidly than we anticipated. SunPower is a manufacturer and installer of solar power technologies. Its stock price fluctuated widely during the period as sales were affected by customers’ difficulty in obtaining financing and investors worried about the future of government subsidies for alternative energy. We maintained the position, in the belief that there will be aggressive pursuit of alternative energy technologies in the coming years.
These declines were partially offset by our overweighting and stock selection in the health care sector (e.g., NuVasive, Inc. (“NuVasive”) and Gilead Sciences, Inc. (“Gilead”)). NuVasive, a medical device company, is benefiting from advancements in spinal surgery techniques. Further, its business is relatively immune from cyclical economic trends. Gilead, a biopharmaceutical company working on treatments for cures to life-threatening diseases, has benefited from competitors’ mergers, which reduced its competition.
We believe a consumer-driven recession has already arrived. We believe the federal government’s $700-billion rescue of the financial services sector, the biggest government intervention in the financial system since the 1930s, should provide some much-needed rationality in the markets. We believe it should help to rebuild trust among financial institutions and reduce the severity of the recession. In the interim, high levels of market volatility likely will persist.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
In the twelve months ended October 31, 2008, conditions in the economy and credit markets deteriorated, creating a very unstable environment for bond investors. What began as concerns about securities related to defaulting sub-prime mortgages escalated into a credit and economic crises. Overnight lending between banks, a vital part of maintaining the flow of capital in the financial system, was disrupted as banks increasingly worried about undisclosed risks from exotic securities and the financial strength and stability of other banks. As credit problems multiplied, financial institutions focused on preserving capital and were more selective about lending, making it more difficult for business and consumers to attain credit.
The risk aversion eventually spread from Wall Street to Main Street, where it added to growing problems on the economic front. Throughout the period, the housing market continued to deteriorate, while commodity prices were volatile. Rising unemployment, coupled with lack of wage growth and tighter credit conditions, caused consumers to rein in their spending. The reduction in consumer spending, which is the backbone of the US economy, exacerbated problems further.
The Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) and the US government intervened on several occasions, taking unprecedented measures to curb the crises, improve liquidity, and stimulate the economy. Among the many initiatives were new government-guaranteed loans, larger and more varied lending facilities for banks, and the takeover of major financial institutions. Even with the government’s intervention, the expectations of a global economic slowdown and US recession rose. Nearing the end of the period, investors flocked to the relative safety of US government debt. While treasury yields declined, concerns over corporate profitability in a slowing economy coupled with reduced liquidity caused the risk premiums to increase for most non-government securities. As this risk premium increased, prices for most non-government securities rose less than Treasuries and in some cases prices fell.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Short-Term Bond Class A returned (1.70)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch US Corporate & Government 1-3 Year Index (“MLCG”), returned 3.97%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
Throughout the period, the portfolio generated competitive yields, aided by an overweighting in corporate bonds, an area where yields generally rose. However, as the market tumult came to a head and yield spreads between government and corporate bonds grew, this overweighting hindered performance even though we reduced our exposure to corporates throughout the period. The below-index duration of the portfolio made it less sensitive than the index to changes in interest rates. Therefore, it did not benefit as much as the index when bonds yields fell and bond prices, which move opposite to yields, rose. Helping to mitigate the underperformance were two factors. We were selective in our corporate bond positions, and had no exposure to sub-prime securities. Additionally, as corporate issues matured later in the period, we invested the proceeds into government agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”).
Agency MBS were less volatile than other fixed-income securities because the government, in taking over the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), had strengthened its implied guarantee of these securities.
We believe a consumer-driven recession has already arrived. We believe the federal government’s $700-billion rescue of the financial services sector, combined with several other government actions, should provide some much-needed rationality in the markets. We believe it should help to rebuild trust among financial institutions and reduce the severity of the recession. In the interim, high levels of market volatility likely will persist.

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.

The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.

Transamerica Small/Mid Cap Value
(unaudited)
MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Faced with many challenges in the twelve months ended October 31, 2008, US equity indices delivered double-digit negative returns across the board. The Russell 2500® Value Index (“Russell 2500 Value”) declined 33.64%.
Throughout the period, problems plaguing the housing market continued, while commodity prices first soared then plummeted. Meanwhile, what began as concerns about securities related to defaulting sub-prime mortgages escalated into a variety of increasingly severe crises in the markets where banks lend to each other and to businesses, causing extreme disruption in both US and foreign financial markets. As the problems multiplied, financial institutions tightened their lending standards. This made it more difficult for companies to fund payroll, inventory and other near-term expenses in the face of high borrowing costs. Consumers, already feeling the effects of higher energy and food prices, rising unemployment and lack of wage growth, also found it more difficult to borrow. Although the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) and the US government intervened to restore confidence in the financial systems, the US headed toward recession and expectations of a global economic slowdown rose.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Small/Mid Cap Value Class A returned (39.47)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 2500® Value, returned (33.64)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
The results reflect the impact of decisions made by the portfolio’s prior management team (through September 30, 2008) and decisions of a new management team thereafter. The portfolio’s underperformance can be attributed almost exclusively to overweighting energy and shipping-related stocks. As the financial crisis and economic turmoil increasingly spread across the globe, investors shunned the stocks over concerns that the global supply-demand ratios driving their growth will deteriorate temporarily, due to recession. The largest individual detractors from relative performance (versus the benchmark) included Aegean Marine Petroleum Network Inc., DryShips Inc., Genco Shipping & Trading Limited and McDermott International, Inc., an oil services company.
Management of the portfolio was transferred to a new team at Transamerica Investment Management, LLC as of October 1, 2008. The new team began repositioning the portfolio to be more diversified by sector and industry while keeping it relatively concentrated in 35 — 45 names. In selecting stocks to replace the energy, shipping and other stocks vulnerable to the slowing global economy, we focused on companies that derive more of their revenues from US sources. We believe that since the US was first to take action to stave off recession, it also will emerge from the economic downturn before others do.
While the new investment team believes that, in the long run, global economic growth will be strong, it also recognized that, in the near term, the financial crisis will greatly limit economic expansion. With that in mind, we (the new team) began partially and gradually repositioning the portfolio to be more diversified by sector and industry while maintaining a relatively concentrated portfolio.
Partially offsetting these declines were our selections in the producer durables and consumer discretionary (e.g., FTI Consulting, Inc. (“FTI Consulting”)) sectors and our cash position. FTI Consulting, a provider of advice on corporate governance, compliance and other strategic management issues, saw strong worldwide sales and benefited from distressed companies seeking its services in troubled times. Although our goal is to be fully invested at all times as market conditions worsened, we let our cash position build temporarily during October. Because cash outperformed stocks, this added to performance. It also made it possible to invest in new opportunities at very attractive prices as the market fell during that month.
We believe a consumer-driven recession has already arrived.

NOTES
| | |
1 | | The Russell 2500 Value Index is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. You cannot directly invest in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (NAV) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges.
Investing in small cap stocks generally involves greater risk and volatility, therefore an investment in the fund may not be appropriate for everyone. This material must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus, which includes specific contents regarding the investment objectives and policies of this Fund.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Transamerica Investment Management, LLC:
Faced with many challenges in the twelve months ended October 31, 2008, US equity indices delivered double-digit negative returns across the board. The Russell 1000® Growth Index declined 36.95%.
Throughout the period, problems plaguing the housing market continued, while commodity prices first soared then plummeted. Meanwhile, what began as concerns about securities related to defaulting sub-prime mortgages escalated into a variety of increasingly severe crises in the markets where banks lend to each other and to businesses, causing extreme disruption in both US and foreign financial markets. As the problems multiplied, financial institutions tightened their lending standards. This made it more difficult for companies to fund payroll, inventory and other near-term expenses in the face of high borrowing costs. Consumers, who already were feeling the effects of high energy prices, increasing food costs, rising unemployment and lack of wage growth, also found it more difficult to borrow. Although the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) and the US government intervened to restore confidence in the financial systems, the US headed toward recession and expectations of a global economic slowdown rose.
Templeton Investment Counsel, LLC:
During the twelve months ended October 31, 2008, US gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth slowed markedly as housing prices declined, consumer demand softened, and a credit crisis originally related to US sub-prime loan losses intensified and spread globally. Recessionary fears spanned the entire period, and by summer most economists agreed a recession was under way, and a global slowdown surfaced.
Strong global demand triggered a commodity price boom, which added to global inflationary pressures. Seeking to reignite the US economy, the Fed lowered rates to 1.00% from 4.50%. The eurozone focused on controlling inflation and kept rates steady at 4.00% until July when the European Central Bank (“ECB”) joined many of the world’s central banks and raised rates. The potential for global recession, however, exacerbated by the virtual freeze in the global financial system in September and October, trumped inflationary concerns, and the world’s monetary authorities cut interest rates aggressively. The US dollar, which had previously declined versus many of the world’s currencies, regained ground quickly toward period-end, and the dollar posted twelve-month gains relative to most currencies.
Against this challenging economic backdrop, many global equity markets were volatile, and virtually all local indices suffered losses for the twelve-month period. Despite negative economic data and an outlook for decelerating corporate earnings and profit margins globally, many companies’ balance sheets, primarily outside the financial sector, remained relatively strong.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Templeton Global Class A returned (44.68)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index (“MSCIW”), returned (41.51)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
Transamerica Investment Management LLC:
The portfolio lagged the index due primarily to poor results for our holdings within the automotive/transportation (e.g., Daimler AG (“Daimler”)), technology (e.g., Research In Motion Limited (“RIMM”)), and consumer discretionary (e.g., MGM Mirage (“MGM”)) sectors. Daimler suffered during the year as a result of the downward trend in automotive sales worldwide, a trend that was heightened by consumers’ difficulty in obtaining financing. We believe RIMM’s performance can be attributed to the concerns of slowing consumer spending rather than to any deterioration in company fundamentals. We sold our position in MGM in early 2008, based on our belief that discretionary spending on travel and entertainment would slow.
Partially offsetting these declines were our selections in materials/processing (e.g., Praxair, Inc. (“Praxair”)) and healthcare (e.g., Gilead Sciences, Inc. (“Gilead”)) and our cash position. Praxair, a producer and distributor of industrial gases, held up relatively well because its stable business model emphasizes long-term contracts. We believe this will help the company maintain its already strong market share. Gilead, a biopharmaceutical company working on treatments for cures to life-threatening diseases, has benefited from competitors’ mergers, which reduced its competition. Our goal is to be fully invested at all times, and cash has historically averaged less than 5% of portfolio assets. However, as market conditions worsened, we let our cash position build slightly so that we could redeploy the assets in attractive new opportunities as they arose.
We believe a consumer-driven recession has already arrived. We believe the federal government’s $700-billion rescue of the financial services sector, the biggest government intervention in the financial system since the 1930s, should provide some much-needed rationality in the markets. We believe it should help to rebuild trust among financial institutions and serve to shorten or at least reduce the severity of the recession. In the interim, high levels of market volatility likely will persist.
Templeton Investment Counsel, LLC:
Overall, investments in every country represented in the portfolio, with the exception of Mexico (not an index component), fell in value during the year under review, as did every country represented in the index. Geographically, the portfolio’s Asian and Latin American equities hindered performance in absolute terms and relative to the benchmark for the reporting period. Stock selection in Japan hurt relative performance, as did the portfolio’s holdings in Brazil (not an index component). In Europe, overweightings and stock selection in Norway and the Netherlands, and our underweighting and stock selection in Switzerland, also hindered relative performance.
During this difficult year for equities, every sector experienced declines in value. Utilities were a major detractor from performance relative to the benchmark, due to our underweighting and stock selection. Among utilities, E.ON AG (Germany) and Korea Electric Power Corporation (South Korea) posted steep share price declines.

Transamerica Templeton Global
The financials sector suffered heavy losses and hurt portfolio performance on an absolute basis. Key underperformers included Japanese lender Aiful Corporation, Netherlands-based ING Groep N.V., and French insurer AXA. Underweighting in consumer staples and stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector weighed on absolute and relative performance, particularly, automotive manufacturer Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (“BMW”) (Germany) and food and staples retailer The Jean Coutu Group (PJC) Inc. (Canada).
Geographically, our North American equities benefited the portfolio’s performance in relative terms, largely due to stock selection. Our overweighted allocation to the Middle East and Africa (composed solely of investments in non-index South Africa and Israel) also helped relative results. By country, stock selection in France and the United Kingdom (“UK”) contributed to relative performance, aided by an underweighted position in Australia. Stock selection and an underweighting in Ireland also aided relative results.
In regard to sectors, industries and individual securities, the portfolio showed strength relative to the benchmark in several areas. Although financials stocks hurt the portfolio in absolute terms, our underweighting versus the benchmark was beneficial in relative terms. Based on stock selection, ACE Limited, Munich RE AG, HSBC Holdings plc and Promise Co., Ltd. performed well on a relative basis. The materials sector was another major positive contributor to performance relative to the benchmark, due to our underweighted allocation and stock selection. Our underweighted position in metals and mining companies aided relative results, as most share prices fell precipitously in the latter half of the fiscal year when related commodity prices plummeted. Driven by stock selection, the energy sector also helped relative performance for the period. Top contributors included UK-based oil and gas conglomerate BP plc. and Italy’s Eni SpA.
Our overweighted position in the health care sector also lifted the portfolio’s relative returns, aided by holdings in pharmaceutical manufacturers such as Swiss firm Novartis AG (not an index component), French company Sanofi-Aventis and UK giant GlaxoSmithKline plc, which each declined less than the overall index.
The US dollar appreciated versus most foreign currencies for the period, which negatively affected the portfolio’s performance because investments in securities with non-US currency exposure lost value as the dollar strengthened.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

(a) | | Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days). |

^ | | All or a portion of this security is on loan. The value of all securities on loan is $24,674. |
|
‡ | | Non-income producing security. |
|
• | | Repurchase agreement is collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Obligations with interest rates ranging from 3.56% to 5.00%, maturity dates ranging between 12/01/2019 — 10/25/2036, and with market values plus accrued interests of $4,907. |
|
◊ | | State Street Bank & Trust Company serves as the accounting, custody, and lending agent for the Fund and provides various services on behalf of the Fund. |
|
▲ | | Interest rate shown reflects the yield at 10/31/2008. |
|
# | | Aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes is $159,716. Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation/depreciation for all securities in which there is an excess of value over tax cost were $1,580 and $37,460, respectively. Net unrealized depreciation for tax purposes is $35,880. |
Security Valuation — If the market quotations are not readily available, or if the investment advisor determines that the quotation does not represent a fair value, then the security is valued at a fair value as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Fund has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in the foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in the value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which the Fund’s shares are valued. At 10/31/2008, the fair value pricing model was employed. The prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. In addition, fair values may not reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security at the time of pricing.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
US securities markets faced many challenges in the twelve months ended October 31, 2008, ultimately delivering strongly negative returns across the board. The Russell 1000® Value Index (“Russell 1000 Value”) declined 36.80% and the Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) US Aggregate Bond Index (“BCAB”) slightly increased 0.30%.
Throughout the period, problems plaguing the housing market continued, while commodity prices first soared then plummeted. Meanwhile, what began as concerns about securities related to defaulting sub-prime mortgages escalated into a variety of increasingly severe crises in the markets where banks lend to each other and to businesses, causing extreme disruption in both US and foreign financial markets. As the problems multiplied, financial institutions tightened their lending standards. The higher borrowing costs made it more difficult for companies to fund payroll, inventory and other near-term expenses. Consumers, already feeling the effects of higher energy and food prices, rising unemployment and lack of wage growth, also found it more difficult to borrow. Although the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) and the US government intervened to restore confidence in the financial systems, the US headed toward recession and expectations of a global economic slowdown increased.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Value Balanced Class A returned (32.94)%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the Russell 1000 Value and the BCAB, returned (36.80)% and 0.30%, respectively.
STRATEGY REVIEW
The portfolio underperformed the blended benchmark, reflecting an overweighting in equities, which underperformed bonds, and underperformance of the equity and bond portfolios as compared to their respective benchmarks.
On the equity side, we attribute underperformance to overweighting energy and shipping-related stocks. As the period progressed, investors shunned these stocks over concerns that the global supply-demand ratios driving their growth will deteriorate as economic growth abates worldwide. The largest individual detractors from relative performance included Aegean Marine Petroleum Network Inc. and McDermott International, Inc., an oil services company. The negative impact of these was partially offset by another energy stock, Fording Canadian Coal Trust, and by gains from software giant Microsoft Corporation early in the period. Management of the portfolio was transferred to a new team at Transamerica Investment Management as of October 1, 2008. The new team began repositioning the portfolio to be more diversified by sector and industry while keeping it relatively concentrated in 35 — 45 names. In selecting stocks to replace the energy, shipping and other stocks vulnerable to the slowing global economy, we focused on companies that derive more of their revenues from US sources.
We believe that since the US was first to take action to stave off recession, it also will emerge from the economic downturn before others do.
In the bond portfolio, an overweighting of non-government sectors (i.e., investment-grade corporate securities and agency mortgage securities), which lagged the Treasury sector, was the primary source of underperformance. The negative effect of these overweightings was partially mitigated by our individual security selection. Among investment-grade corporate bonds, we had no exposure to the most distressed companies in the troubled financial services sector. Our mortgage exposure emphasized short-duration agency collateralized mortgage obligations, which were less volatile than other mortgage securities.
We believe a consumer-driven recession has already arrived. We believe the federal government’s $700-billion rescue of the financial services sector should provide some much-needed rationality in the markets. We believe it should help to rebuild trust and reduce the severity of the recession. In the interim, we believe high levels of market volatility will likely persist.

NOTES
| | |
1 | | The Russell 1000 Value Index and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (formerly Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond) are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. You cannot directly invest in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (NAV) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges.
This material must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus, which includes specific contents regarding the investment objectives and policies of this Fund.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

| | |
(a) | | Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days). |
|
(b) | | 5% return per year before expenses. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
At October 31, 2008
(all amounts in thousands)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Transamerica Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Transamerica Balanced, Transamerica Convertible Securities, Transamerica Equity, Transamerica Flexible Income, Transamerica Growth Opportunities, Transamerica High Yield Bond, Transamerica Legg Mason Partners All Cap, Transamerica Money Market, Transamerica Science & Technology, Transamerica Short-Term Bond, Transamerica Small/Mid Cap Value, Transamerica Templeton Global and Transamerica Value Balanced (each, a “Fund”; collectively, the “Funds”) are part of Transamerica Funds.
Effective March 1, 2008, Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds changed its name to Transamerica Funds. Also effective on March 1, 2008, “TA IDEX” was removed from the beginning of each Fund name and replaced with “Transamerica”.
Transamerica Legg Mason Partners All Cap and Transamerica Science & Technology are “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act.
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
This report should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ current prospectus, which contains more complete information about the Funds.
In preparing the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), estimates or assumptions (which could differ from actual results) may be used that affect reported amounts and disclosures. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Funds, except Transamerica Legg Mason Partners All Cap, Transamerica Short-Term Bond, Transamerica Equity and Transamerica Templeton Global, currently have four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class I. Transamerica Balanced, Transamerica Legg Mason Partners All Cap and Transamerica Templeton Global currently have three classes of shares; Class A, Class B, and Class C. Transamerica Equity currently has five classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I and Class T. Effective November 1, 2007, in addition to Class I, Transamerica Short-Term Bond also offers Class A and Class C shares. Effective March 1, 2008, Class I of Transamerica Templeton Global was liguidated. Class T shares are not available to new investors. Each of the above classes has a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class I shares are currently available for investment primarily to certain affiliated asset allocation funds.
Class I shares may also be made available to other investors, including institutional investors such as foreign insurers, domestic insurance companies and their separate accounts, and eligible retirement plans whose record keepers or financial service firm intermediaries have entered into agreements with Transamerica Funds or its agents. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class, based upon the value of shares outstanding method as permitted under Rule 18f-3 of the 1940 Act. Each class bears its own specific expenses as well as a portion of general, common expenses.
Security valuations: The Funds value their investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. The Funds’ investments are valued at the last sale price or closing price on the day of valuation taken from the primary exchange where the security is principally traded.
Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the last quoted bid price.
Debt securities are valued based on a price quotation or other equivalent indication of value supplied by an exchange, a pricing service or a major market maker; however, those that mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market.
Foreign securities generally are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded. 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. If a significant market event impacting the value of a portfolio security (e.g., natural disaster, company announcement, market volatility) occurs subsequent to the close of trading in the security, but prior to the calculation of the Funds’ net asset value per share, market quotations for that security may be determined to be unreliable and, accordingly, not “readily available.” As a result, foreign equity securities held by the Funds may be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by Transamerica Asset Management, Inc.’s (“TAM”) Valuation Committee under the supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Other securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values have been determined to be unreliable are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by TAM’s Valuation Committee under the supervision of the Board of Trustees.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
At October 31, 2008
(all amounts in thousands)
NOTE 1. (continued)
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued its new Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 is designed to unify guidance for the measurement of fair value of all types of assets, including financial instruments, and certain liabilities, throughout a number of accounting standards. FAS 157 also establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements that are relevant to mutual funds. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and earlier application is permitted.
As of October 31, 2008, Management does not expect the adoption of FAS 157 to impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain of the measurements reported in the statement of operations for a fiscal period.
Repurchase Agreements: The Funds are authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Funds, through their custodian, State Street Bank & Trust Company (“State Street”), receive delivery of the underlying securities, the value of which at the time of purchase is required to be an amount equal to at least 102% of the resale price. The Funds will bear the risk of value fluctuations until the security can be sold and may encounter delays and incur costs in liquidating the security. In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the seller, delays and costs may be incurred.
Commission recapture: The sub-advisers of certain Funds, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, have elected to place security transactions of the Funds with broker/dealers with which Transamerica Funds 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 Funds. In no event will commissions paid by the Funds be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica Funds, or by any other party.
Recaptured commissions during the year ended October 31, 2008 are included in net realized gains on the Statements of Operations and are summarized as follows:
| | | | |
Fund | | Commissions |
|
Transamerica Balanced | | $ | 5 | |
Transamerica Equity | | | 61 | |
Transamerica Growth Opportunities | | | 18 | |
Transamerica Legg Mason Partners All Cap | | | 10 | |
Transamerica Science & Technology | | | 4 | |
Transamerica Templeton Global | | | 6 | |
Securities Lending: The Funds may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with State Street acting as the Funds’ lending agent. The Funds earn negotiated lenders’ fees. The Funds receive cash and/or securities as collateral against the loaned securities. Cash collateral received is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Trust-Prime Portfolio. The Funds monitor the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at October 31, 2008 is shown in the Schedule of Investments and also in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees earned by State Street.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”): 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. Since some of the Funds invest primarily in real estate securities, the net asset value per share may fluctuate more widely than the value of shares of a fund that invests in a broad range of industries.
Dividend income is recorded at managements’ estimate of the income 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.
Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification basis.
Dividend income, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of foreign securities, as soon as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis commencing on the settlement date.
Foreign currency denominated investments: The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate each day. The cost of foreign securities is translated at the exchange rate in effect when the investment was acquired. The Funds combine 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: 1) foreign currency fluctuations between trade date and settlement date of investment security transactions; 2) gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts; and 3) the difference between the receivable amounts of interest and dividends recorded in the accounting records in U.S. dollars and the amounts actually received.

(all amounts in thousands)
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.
Forward foreign currency contracts: The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against exchange rate risk arising from investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies. Contracts are valued at the contractual forward rate and 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.
Open forward currency contracts at October 31, 2008 are listed in the Schedules of Investments.
Futures contracts: The Funds may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to market, interest rate or currency fluctuations. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held and the prices of futures contracts; the possibility of an illiquid market and inability of the counterparty to meet the contract terms.
The underlying face amounts of open futures contracts at October 31, 2008 are listed in the Schedules of Investments. The variation margin receivable or payable, as applicable, is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Variation margin represents the additional payment due or excess deposits made in order to maintain the equity account at the required margin level.
Option contracts: The Funds may enter into options contracts to manage exposure to market fluctuations. Options are valued at the average of the bid and ask (“Mean Quote”) established each day at the close of the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. The primary risks associated with options are imperfect correlation between the change in value of the securities held and the prices of the options contracts; the possibility of an illiquid market; and inability of the counterparty to meet the contracts terms. When the Funds write covered call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received by the Funds are included in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. Options are marked-to-market daily to reflect the current value of the option written.
Transactions in written options were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Transamerica Value Balanced | | Premium | | | Contracts | |

Balance at October 31, 2007 | | $ | 418 | | | | 3,253 | |

| | | | | | |
Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold during the first five (5) NYSE trading days following their purchase date. This redemption fee will equal 2% of the amount redeemed and shares held the longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held the shortest as being redeemed last. For the year ended October 31, 2008, the Funds received redemption fees which are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Dividend distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations.
Temporary Guarantee Program: The Transamerica Money Market has enrolled in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Temporary Guarantee Program for money market funds (the “Program”). Under the Program, the U.S. Treasury guarantees the $1.00 dollar per share value of fund shares outstanding as of September 19, 2008, subject to certain terms and limitations.
Only shareholders who held shares as of September 19, 2008 are eligible to participate in the guarantee. Those shareholders may purchase and redeem shares in their account during the period covered by the Program. However, the number of shares covered by the guarantee cannot exceed the number of shares held by the shareholder at the close of business on September 19, 2008. Thus, to the extent the overall value of a shareholder’s account increases after September 19, 2008, the amount of the increase will not be covered by the guarantee. If a Fund shareholder closes his or her Fund account, any future investment in the Fund will not be guaranteed.
The guarantee will be triggered if the market-based net asset value of the Fund is less than $0.995, unless promptly cured (a “Guarantee Event”). If a Guarantee Event were to occur, the Fund would be required to liquidate. Upon liquidation and subject to the availability of funds under the Program, eligible shareholders would be entitled to receive payments equal to $1.00 per “covered share.” The number of “covered shares” held by a shareholder would be equal to the lesser of (1) the number of shares owned by that shareholder on September 19, 2008 or (2) the number of shares owned by that shareholder on the date upon which the Guarantee Event occurs. The coverage provided for all money market funds participating in the Program (and, in turn, any amount available to the Fund and its eligible shareholders) is subject to an overall limit, currently approximately $50 billion.
The initial period of the Program covered a three month period from September 19, 2008 to December 18, 2008. On November 24, 2008, the Treasury Department announced an extension of the Program from December 19, 2008 through April 30, 2009 (the “Program Extension Period”). On December 5, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund elected to participate in the Program Extension Period. The Program may be later extended by the Treasury Department to terminate no later than September 18, 2009. If the Treasury Department extends the Program, the Board will consider whether to continue to participate. The Fund has paid to the Treasury a fee of 0.01% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008 to participate in the initial three month period of the Program and a fee of 0.015% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008 to participate in the Program Extension Period.

These expenses are borne by the Fund without regard to any expense limitation agreement in effect for the Fund.
Participation in any extension of the Program would require payment of an additional fee, although there can be no assurance that the Fund will elect to participate, or be eligible to participate, in any extension of the Program.

Brokerage commissions: There were no brokerage commissions incurred on security transactions placed with affiliates of the advisers for the year ended October 31, 2008.
Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible Independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) maintained by Transamerica Funds. Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in Class A shares of any series of Transamerica Funds, including the Funds, or investment options under Transamerica Partners Institutional Funds Group or Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation Funds, or funds of Transamerica Investors, Inc. The right of a participant to receive a distribution from the Plan of the deferred fees is an unsecured claim against the general assets of all series of Transamerica Funds. The pro rata liability to the Funds of all deferred fees in the Plan as of October 31, 2008, amounted to the following:
| | | | |
Fund | | Deferred Fees |
|
Transamerica Balanced | | $ | 5 | |

Retirement plan: Under a prior retirement plan (the “Emeritus Plan”) available to the Independent Trustees, each Independent Trustee is deemed to have elected to serve as Trustee Emeritus of Transamerica Funds upon his or her termination of service, other than removal for cause, for a maximum period of five years determined by his or her years of service as a Trustee.
Such amounts shall be accrued by Transamerica Funds on a pro rata basis allocable to each Transamerica Fund based on the relative assets of the Fund. If retainers increase in the future, past accruals (and credits) will be adjusted upward so that 50% of the Trustee’s current retainer is accrued and credited at all times. Upon death, disability or termination of service, other than removal for cause, amounts deferred become payable to a Trustee Emeritus (or his/her beneficiary). Upon the commencement of service as Trustee Emeritus, compensation will be paid on a quarterly basis during the time period that the Trustee Emeritus is allowed to serve as such.
At October 31, 2008, the Funds’ liabilities related to the Emeritus Plan were as follows:
| | | | |
Fund | | Emeritus Fees |
|
Transamerica Balanced | | $ | 3 | |
Transamerica Convertible Securities | | | 3 | |

Amounts deferred and accrued under the Emeritus Plan are unfunded and unsecured claims against the general assets of Transamerica Funds.
The Emeritus Plan was terminated effective October 30, 2007. Upon the termination, the Funds shall continue to pay any remaining benefits in accordance with the Plan, but no further compensation shall accrue under the Plan.

NOTE 4. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Funds have not made any provisions for federal income or excise taxes due to their policy to distribute all of their taxable income and capital gains to their shareholders and otherwise qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Management has evaluated the Funds’ tax provisions taken for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatment for items including, but not limited to, wash sales, structured notes, foreign bonds, swaps, net operating losses and distribution reclasses.
Therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences. These reclassifications are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | Undistributed |
| | Shares of | | | | | | (accumulated) |
| | beneficial | | | | | | net realized |

NOTE 5. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In March 2008, the FASB issued its new Standard No. 161, “Disclosure About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about a Fund’s derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.
NOTE 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On November 24, 2008, the Treasury announced an extension of Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds until April 30, 2009 to support ongoing stability in the market. The Transamerica Money Market Fund elected to re-enroll in this Program.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Transamerica Balanced, Transamerica Convertible Securities, Transamerica Equity, Transamerica Flexible Income, Transamerica Growth Opportunities, Transamerica High Yield Bond, Transamerica Legg Mason Partners All Cap, Transamerica Money Market, Transamerica Science & Technology, Transamerica Short-Term Bond, Transamerica Small/Mid Cap Value, Transamerica Templeton Global, and Transamerica Value Balanced (individually a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”) at October 31, 2008, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Dear Fellow Shareholder,
On behalf of Transamerica Funds, I would like to thank you for your continued support and confidence in our products as we look forward to continuing to serve you and your financial advisor in the future. We value the trust you have placed in us.
This annual report is provided to you with the intent of presenting a comprehensive review of the investments of each of your funds. The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that annual and semi-annual reports be sent to all shareholders, and we believe this report to be an important part of the investment process. In addition to providing a comprehensive review, this report also provides a discussion of accounting policies as well as matters presented to shareholders that may have required their vote.
We believe it is important to recognize and understand current market conditions in order to provide a context for reading this report. Both equity and fixed-income markets have experienced extreme volatility and accelerating downward pricing pressure over the past twelve months as a credit crisis has had profound effects on the financial markets and has spilled over into the global economy. Oil prices rose dramatically throughout the first seven months of 2008 and have fallen precipitously since then as the global economy has struggled and demand has declined. The Federal Reserve has lowered the federal funds rate during the past twelve months from 4.25% in November 2007 to 1.00% at the end of October 2008 as it has sought to provide liquidity in a difficult market environment. The Treasury department has also been taking an active role in an effort to stabilize the markets, including the initiation of the Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds and the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP). The job market continues to struggle, as non-farm payrolls have weakened and the unemployment rate has risen to over 6%. In this environment, investors have flocked to money market instruments and Treasuries in a flight to quality. Many funds have struggled to produce positive returns. For the twelve months ending October 31, 2008, the Dow Jones Industrial Average returned -31.24%, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index returned -36.10%, and the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Bond Index returned 0.30%. Please keep in mind it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio as investment returns have historically been difficult to predict.
In addition to your active involvement in the investment process, we firmly believe that a financial advisor is a key resource to help you build a complete picture of your current and future financial needs. Financial advisors are familiar with the market’s history, including long-term returns and volatility of various asset classes. With your financial advisor, you can develop an investment program that incorporates factors such as your goals, your investment timeline, and your risk tolerance.
Please contact your financial advisor if you have any questions about the contents of this report, and thanks again for the confidence you have placed in us.
Sincerely,
| | |

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Market conditions hampered the Fund’s performance on both an absolute and relative basis. Few investors anticipated the scope of the credit crunch, which blossomed into a full-blown financial crisis. The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) took extraordinary steps to provide support for the flagging financial system, and other governments and central banks are expected to follow suit. In the stock market, volatility reached extreme levels on a day-to-day basis as investors lost confidence in the financial system and the ability of the government to remedy the situation. U.S. equity indices were universally down for the twelve-month period as value outperformed growth—except among mega-cap stocks (shares of especially large companies, represented by the Russell Top 200 Index).
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica American Century Large Company Value Class A returned (38.03)%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index (“S&P 500”) and the Russell 1000® Value Index (“Russell 1000 Value”), returned (36.10)% and (36.80)%, respectively.
STRATEGY REVIEW
The portfolio benefited from strong security selection in information technology, primarily from large leading software and technology companies. A notable contributor was Hewlett-Packard Company (“HP”), a computer and peripheral maker. HP’s acquisition of outsourcing giant Electronic Data Systems Corporation appears to offer a competitive advantage and could add value through reorganization and cost-cutting efforts.
The portfolio’s holdings in the health care and consumer staples sectors contributed to results. During difficult economic times or periods of stock market turbulence, investors often regard health care and consumer staples stocks as lower-risk, defensive investments. Moreover, our preference for large industry leaders proved advantageous.
In health care, a significant holding was Abbott Laboratories (“Abbott”), which develops and manufactures laboratory diagnostics, medical devices and pharmaceutical therapies. Abbott reported strong sales across its entire product line, including Humira (a medicine that treats auto-immune diseases). In consumer staples, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. was a top contributor. The retailer’s low-price strategy paid off as higher prices at the pump and the sluggish U.S. economy put pressure on consumers.
Despite an underweight position, the financials sector was the portfolio’s largest source of relative underperformance, partly because of turmoil in the credit markets. Although we continue to be selective about portfolio holdings, the portfolio was hampered by its mix of insurance stocks and mortgage finance names. Two top detractors were the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), a stockholder-owned corporation chartered by Congress to keep money flowing to mortgage lenders in support of home ownership; and American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”), the leading U.S.-based international insurer. Freddie Mac declined on greater-than-expected losses on exposure to sub-prime loans and the need for additional capital. Shares of AIG fell significantly after the Fed stepped in to rescue the company from bankruptcy. We eliminated both positions during the reporting period.
The industrial sector was another source of relative weakness. As the global economy slowed, many large U.S. companies saw a downturn in their international businesses. Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited cited the uncertain global economic outlook—and the ongoing credit crisis—for its decline in earnings. The company, which designs and manufactures a range of industrial and commercial products, was a notable detractor.

NOTES |
|
1 | | The Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index (S&P 500) and the Russell 1000 Value Index are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. You cannot invest directly in an Index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (NAV) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

(a) | | Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days). |

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
The past twelve months has proved to be a very difficult period for the world’s listed real estate markets as tightening credit market conditions and a slowing global economy have provided significant headwinds to the world’s capital markets. Investor concerns continue to center on the ramifications of the credit crunch, including lack of liquidity and scarcity of available capital. Governments and central banks have responded aggressively to these issues via significant capital support to financial institutions as well as interest rate cuts. Though all regions experienced a significant sell-off over the past twelve months, North American property stocks fared the best, down 41.5%, followed by the European and Asia Pacific regions which were down 56.2% and 57.2%, respectively. In the North American region, U.S. property stocks held up well until the market decline in October which accounted for three-quarters of the 40.8% decline generated during the past twelve months. Within the European region, the return differential between countries was quite substantial, ranging from a (16.9)% return posted by Switzerland, the best-performing market during the period, to a (87.2)% return posted by Norway, the poorest-performing market during the period. On whole, the countries which fared the best in the current environment were the countries in the Benelux region as well as Switzerland and France; the countries which fared the worst were in Southern, Central and Eastern Europe as well as the Scandinavian region. Within the Asia-Pacific region, negative performance was driven most notably by Australia, which was down 69.6% for the period. Hong Kong- and Singapore-based property companies with exposure to development in mainland China also performed particularly poorly during the period, in a complete reversal from 2007 when these companies significantly outperformed.
Portfolio outperformance for the period was driven by stock selection and country allocation as both stock selection and country allocation were positive across all regions. Stock selection, which accounted for more than half of the period’s outperformance, was especially strong in the Asia-Pacific region as the portfolio maintained its tilt towards conservatively-managed companies, defensive property types, and rock-solid balance sheets. Examples of portfolio holdings along these lines include Australian global mall operator Westfield Group, Hong Kong shopping center company The Link Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”), and Tokyo office landlord Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd., all of which outperformed their respective countries’ average return for the period. Conversely, the portfolio avoided investments in companies with the opposite characteristics, especially companies with above-average leverage or any prospective refinancing concerns. Stock selection in the U.S. added significantly to relative returns as overweight positions in outperforming companies in the healthcare sector (Ventas, Inc., Nationwide Health Properties, Inc. and Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc.) and retail sector (Federal Realty Investment Trust, Simon Property Group, Inc. and Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc.) were some of the best-performing stocks from a relative perspective. Within Europe, overweight positions in outperforming French retail property companies Unibail-Rodamco Company and Mercialys boosted relative returns. Country allocation decisions added value, helped by overweights to outperforming property markets in the US, selective country allocation decisions in Europe, and an underweight to the underperforming Asian property markets (Singapore, Australia and Hong Kong).
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Clarion Global Real Estate Securities Class A returned (44.97)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the S&P Developed Property Index, returned (51.47)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
The portfolio offers a global strategy for real estate securities investors in the U.S. The portfolio generally owns between 80-110 real estate stocks with the goal of outperforming the WPI. The portfolio seeks to own attractively priced stocks that own property in markets with favorable underlying real estate fundamentals. The global universe of public real estate companies is approximately three times the size of the U.S. public company universe, which offers additional choices and diversification opportunities to the manager.
The portfolio continues to maintain a defensive positioning, with a bias toward high-quality companies. We remain overweight in sectors and geographies offering long-term leases and high percentages of earnings from recurring sources (primarily contract lease rental income). We prefer companies offering more transparency, strong balance sheets and good, experienced management teams. This focus on quality has driven our significant outperformance in the trying times of the past year. Conversely, we are avoiding companies dependent on acquisitions and/or development activities for earnings growth.
This bear market has already reached levels and duration comparable to past severe market declines. The extreme volatility in the market is an indicator that the normal fundamental underpinnings of the market’s price discovery mechanism have broken down. With past bear markets as a gauge, we believe it seems we may be nearing the end of this correction.
Global property companies remain attractively valued. We believe the average global property company is trading at a 28% discount to our internal estimate of inherent private real estate market value, ranging from the low, a 5% discount in the United Kingdom (“UK”), to the high, a 50% discount in Hong Kong. In our opinion, the market continues to price in a too pessimistic scenario in terms of a global economic slowdown.
The rationale for a global listed property strategy remains very much intact including diversification via low correlation to broad equities and bonds, attractive current yield, attractive valuations and the gradual spread of the REIT structure globally. Through an average 5% to 6% dividend yield plus low single-digit prospective annual earnings growth, we believe global property stocks should be well-positioned to deliver modestly attractive total returns over the next several years.
We appreciate your continued faith and confidence in our portfolio management team, especially in these challenging and trying times.

|
1 | | The S&P Developed Property Index is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

Security Valuation - If the market quotations are not readily available, or if the investment advisor determines that the quotation does not represent a fair value, then the security is valued at a fair value as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Fund has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in the foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in the value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which the Fund’s shares are valued. At 10/31/2008, the fair value pricing model was employed. The prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. In addition, fair values may not reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security at the time of pricing.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
During the 2008 fiscal year, ended October 31, 2008, market volatility as measured by the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (“VIX”) rose to new highs not seen in its 15-year history. Equity markets worldwide retreated significantly. Investors were responding to the deepening global credit crisis and increased evidence that economic contraction in the United States would likely lead to substantial growth deceleration in both developed and developing markets. The U.S. economy’s ability to approach normal functionality was impaired by bleak developments in the financial markets. While no sectors were spared negative returns, the health care sector was the second best performer in the broad market behind consumer staples. The sector has traditionally been seen as more defensive in nature and drew investors to it in the heightened volatile and uncertain market environment of the past year.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Evergreen Health Care Class A returned (31.72)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Standard and Poor’s 1500 Super Composite Health Care Index (“S&P 1500 Health Care”), returned (24.48)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
The portfolio under performed S&P 1500 Health Care over the fiscal year period due to stock selection in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. We continued to make a significant industry reallocation out of pharmaceutical companies by eliminating our holding in Merck & Co., Inc., trimming our Bayer AG weight and eliminating several of our foreign holdings. We increased weights in equipment and supplies companies such as Baxter International Inc. and ResMed Inc. as well as life sciences tools and services entities SEQUENOM, Inc. (“SEQUENOM”) and Invitrogen Corporation, all of which exhibited attractive growth and valuation characteristics. In biotechnology, we were attracted to several of the larger cap companies after price declines such as Gilead Sciences, Inc. and Genzyme Corporation.
Our largest contributor to performance during the course of the year was our significant underweight in the providers and services area. We had very little exposure to health maintenance organizations (“HMO”s), which proved beneficial as many of these companies saw margins contract and earnings decline. In equipment, strong product momentum from specialty pharmaceutical manufacturer Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and genetic diagnostic test manufacturer SEQUENOM led those companies to post revenue and earnings growth above market expectations leading to price increases. The portfolio also had two holdings acquired at premiums, generic manufacturer Barr Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and pharmaceutical company Adams Respiratory Therapeutics, Inc.
The largest individual stock detractors were our lack of exposure to Johnson and Johnson, a large holding in the benchmark; and severe price declines in Theratechnologies and Inverness Medical Innovations, Inc. (“Inverness Medical”). Theratechnologies’ stock price dropped after the company released disappointing results from a pharmaceutical trial. Inverness Medical’s price fell as investors reacted negatively to an acquisition the company made and to the level of debt on the company’s balance sheet. We held our positions in each stock.

NOTES |
|
1 | | The S&P 1500 Health Care Sector Index is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (NAV) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

(b) | | 5% return per year before expenses. |

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
The fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, was a difficult time for virtually all equity styles. Problems in the sub-prime mortgage market spread throughout the financial system, creating a full-blown liquidity/credit crisis that roiled global markets. The final two months of the fiscal year proved exceptionally tumultuous and were capped by an alarming series of events: the US government’s takeover of Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), and American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”); the failure of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.(“Lehman Brothers”); the distressed sales of the commercial banking franchises of Washington Mutual, Inc. and Wachovia Corporation; Bank of America Corporation’s acquisition of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.; and the conversion of investment banks, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and Morgan Stanley, to commercial banks.
With an unprecedented level of coordination and cooperation, the US Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) presided over efforts to resuscitate credit markets and stabilize the financial system, culminating in the creation of the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”). An initial $250 billion was invested in nine large US financial institutions in an attempt to restore confidence in the system. Concerns about inflation persisted through much of the fiscal year, fueled by record-high commodity prices. These worries were largely abated as the period came to a close, when slowing US demand and the weakening global economy caused oil and other commodities prices to drop. Over the year, the Fed lowered the fed funds rate from 4.50% to 1.00%. The ongoing correction in the housing market, debt deflation, rising unemployment, and sluggish production and consumption patterns increasingly pointed to recession, as the effects of the credit crisis worked through the real economy.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Jennison Growth Class A returned (36.12)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, returned (36.95)%.
STRAGEGY REVIEW
The portfolio is built from the bottom up, with stocks selected one at a time, based on the fundamentals of individual companies. Stock selection contributed to positive relative performance in the health care sector, where Genentech, Inc. was a notable performer. The company’s medicine Avastin was approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat breast cancer. Shares of the biotechnology leader got an additional boost when its majority shareholder, Roche Holding Ltd., offered to acquire the remaining interest in the company it does not already own at a premium to the prevailing market price.
Southwestern Energy Company was a top performer in the energy sector. We consider this natural gas and oil exploration and production company a high-quality player in the natural gas industry and like its long-lived asset base. Information technology holdings, including Google Inc. (“Google”) and Apple Inc. (“Apple”), detracted from performance. Google fell as investors worried that a slowing economy could curtail spending on online advertising. While the company’s domestic growth has held up relatively well, there are signs that growth outside the US has decelerated. Apple came under pressure on signs that personal computer sales are slowing and on concerns that the market’s upper-end, which Apple’s Mac franchise dominates, is not immune. Both companies retain significant competitive advantages, which should drive significant share gains even in a tougher environment.
In industrials, ABB, Ltd. (“ABB”), which provides power and automation technologies, had been benefiting from booming global end markets, technology-derived product differentiation, and leading market share. However, the financial crisis and global slowdown raised concerns that significant infrastructure investments would be curtailed and that falling commodity would weaken ABB’s pricing power. We closed our position in the company as the fiscal year drew to a close.
Oil services companies Schlumberger Limited (“Schlumberger”) and Halliburton Company (“Halliburton”) were hit by concerns that a further pullback in oil and natural gas prices could cause oil companies to slow down or cut back on their spending plans. We closed out our position in Halliburton in early October but maintain our investment in Schlumberger, which we believe has strong long-term fundamentals and is best-in-class.

NOTES |
|
1 | | The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (NAV) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

| | |
(a) | | Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days). |
|
(b) | | 5% return per year before expenses. |

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Last year as we were writing the annual commentary, the market was beginning to absorb enormous ramifications of the credit bubble created over the past several years. We would like to briefly describe some events that transpired over the past twelve months.
During the fiscal period, we witnessed spectacular rise in the price of oil from $94.53 in October 2007, to the highs of $147.96 in July 2008, and an equally spectacular collapse to $67.81 in October 2008. The U.S. dollar weakened initially against most major currencies and fell against the euro to $1.45 in October 2007, to $1.60 in April 2008, and then reversed its course to finish fiscal year 2008 at $1.27. Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) slowed from a 4.8% expansion in the third quarter of 2007 to a contraction of (0.3)% in the latest quarter. The unemployment rate grew to 6.1% from 4.8% and the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) lowered the fed funds rate to 1.0% from 4.5%.
The economic slowdown, triggered domestically by a weak housing market and excessive leverage across financial institutions and consumers alike, has spread throughout the world. The collapse of Bear Stearns Companies Inc. (“Bear Stearns”) and its takeover by JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan Chase”) in March 2008 was followed by the Fed opening the discount window to broker dealers. While intended to alleviate further liquidity concerns and significantly reduce the likelihood of another “run on the bank”, this unprecedented move proved unsuccessful in preventing the eventual fall of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman”), the fourth largest investment bank. Rapid deterioration of the housing market has shaken investors’ confidence and forced the U.S. government to put the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) into conservatorship in September.
These events had major spillover effects throughout the fixed-income markets and contributed to higher spreads and contraction of available short term funding. This liquidity crisis was particularly worrisome in the trillion dollar commercial paper market. Lehman’s failure also accelerated the demise of American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”), one of the world’s largest insurers, and pushed Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) into a rushed sale of itself to Bank of America Corporation. The remaining two major investment banks in the U.S., The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“Goldman Sachs”) and Morgan Stanley, chose to become commercial bank holding companies. Subsequently, Washington Mutual, Inc., the nation’s largest savings and loan, with over $350 billion of assets, was seized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and then acquired by JPMorgan Chase. A few days later, Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”) announced its acquisition of Wachovia Corporation, the sixth largest U.S. bank, with over $450 billion of assets. As a result of these extraordinary developments, the credit markets effectively shut down in September, leading Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to propose an unprecedented $700 billion bailout plan. Well over $125 billion of the bailout package has already been invested in major financial institutions. These events occurred over a period of less than twelve months, but have forever changed the global financial landscape.
As the central banks across the globe continue efforts to stabilize financial markets, the turmoil is beginning to take a toll on national economies, with many sectors just now beginning to feel the impact. We do not know how long the recession will last or how deep it will be. Persistent weakness in housing continues and the median price of existing homes in the U.S. is now down 17% from the peak, according to September data from National Association of Realtors. With growing unemployment and tight credit, consumers remain under pressure, although lower gasoline prices have provided some breathing room. There are active discussions in Washington concerning a meaningful fiscal stimulus package in addition to monetary actions already taken by the Fed.
As bleak as market environment is, some of the best investment opportunities often present themselves during periods of stress, and for good reasons. When economies are growing and financial markets are soaring, even weaker players tend to do well. This is certainly not the case during more challenging times. Shake-out periods are healthy in the long term because they weed out weaker players and create longer term opportunities for profitable growth among the surviving companies. We believe that as painful as it is to go through this cleansing process, it often creates attractive investment opportunities. Now more than ever, we try to balance short term risks with long term opportunities as we remain focused on identifying high quality franchises with strong balance sheets and sustainable business models selling at discount to their intrinsic values.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Legg Mason Partners Investors Value Class A returned (33.63)%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index and the Russell 1000® Value Index (“Russell 1000 Value”), returned (36.10)% and (36.80)%, respectively.
STRATEGY REVIEW
The portfolio’s outperformance relative to the Russell 1000® Value during the period was mainly attributable to security selection, which was strongest in financials and consumer discretionary, and weakest in energy and telecommunication services. Sector allocation had a negative affect to the overall performance. An underweight position in energy and an overweight in consumer discretionary detracted from performance. However, an underweight in financials and an overweight in consumer staples were overall contributors to the portfolio’s performance.
Top contributors to performance during the period included Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Wells Fargo, The Chubb Corporation, Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. and McDonald’s Corporation. We continue to hold these stocks. Stocks that detracted from performance included General Electric Company, Sprint Nextel Corporation, News Corporation (Class B Shares), AIG and American Express Company. We exited our position in AIG during the period due to increasing credit concerns and cyclical weakness in the property and casualty insurance businesses.

NOTES
| | |
1 | | The Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index (S&P 500) and the Russell 1000 Value Index are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

| | |
(a) | | Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days). |
|
(b) | | 5% return per year before expenses. |

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
US large capitalization equities, as measured by the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index (“S&P 500”), posted sharp declines for the one-year period ended October 31, 2008. Large capitalization equity benchmarks such as the S&P 500 and the Russell 1000® Growth Index (“Russell 1000 Growth”) had total returns of (36.10)% and (36.95)%, respectively, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2008.
From the perspective of economic sector performance (using Global Industry Classification Standards (“GICS”) classifications for the S&P 500 as a reference point), weakness was widespread. All ten sectors in the S&P 500 had a negative return. Financials (-52%), information technology (-41%), and materials (-41%) were the worst-performing sectors. Consumer staples was the best-performing sector with a return of (12)%. All other sectors were down between (24)% and (39)%.
At an industry level, performance was similarly dismal even worse in some instances. No area came close to achieving a positive return. In fact, just two groups (Food and Staples Retailing and Household and Personal Products) had declines of less than (10)%.
There was scant differentiation in terms of market leadership, either in terms of capitalization or style, during the reporting period. Large capitalization equities underperformed their small capitalization counterparts by more than 2% (based on the Russell 1000 Index and Russell 2000 Index performance), although it bears mentioning that both indices with returns of (36.80)% and (34.16)%, respectively were deeply “in the red”. Within the US large capitalization arena, growth performed nearly identically to value during the period. The Russell 1000® Value Index had total returns of (36.80)%.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Marsico Growth Class A returned (35.64)%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the S&P 500 and the Russell 1000® Growth, returned (36.10)% and (36.95)%, respectively.
STRATEGY REVIEW
Against the backdrop of an exceedingly turbulent and volatile market, the portfolio outperformed the S&P 500, its primary benchmark index, for the annual period. The portfolio’s transportation positions performed well. Railroad operators Union Pacific Corporation (+7%) and Norfolk Southern Corp. (+14%) were among the portfolio’s top-performing individual positions. A position in banking company Wells Fargo & Company (+5%) and biotechnology company Genentech, Inc. (+13%) also helped performance.
As the benchmark index suffered a loss of more than 36%, maintaining an average weight of 14% of net assets in cash and cash equivalents preserved capital to a certain degree.
There were a few areas of weakness for the portfolio during the period. Stock selection and an underweighted posture in the health care and consumer staples sectors detracted from performance. In the health care sector, positions in health care services provider UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (-39%) and pharmaceutical company Merck & Co., Inc. (-36%) negatively impacted performance. (As of October 31, 2008 both positions had been sold from the portfolio.) With regard to consumer staples, the portfolio’s positions in Heineken N.V. (-59% prior to being sold) and CVS Caremark Corporation (-26%) detracted from results.
Holdings in the energy sector were an additional source of weakness for the portfolio. Price declines in oil services provider Schlumberger Limited (-45%) and Brazil-based oil producer Petroleo Brasileiro SA (-42%) hurt performance.
During the reporting period, the portfolio’s average sector allocations emphasized the consumer discretionary, information technology, industrials, and financials sectors. The portfolio invested in all ten GICS economic sector during the twelve-month period, with the consumer staples, energy, financials, and utilities sectors averaging a significantly underweighted posture relative to the portfolio’s primary benchmark, the S&P 500. The portfolio held an average of 14% in cash and cash equivalents during the twelve-month period. As of October 31, 2008, cash and cash equivalents represented more than 21% of the portfolio’s net assets. The elevated cash level provided a measure of protection in the adverse market environment. We believe that the portfolio’s cash positions will decrease as we identify new investment opportunities and add selectively to existing holdings.

NOTES
| | |
1 | | The Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index (S&P 500) and the Russell 1000 Growth Index are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (NAV) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
During the year ended October 31, 2008, investors’ concerns over slowing economic growth and the credit crunch increased, despite inflation fears dissipating somewhat, as commodity prices fell in the later part of the year. The bail-outs of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and later of American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”), plus the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman Brothers”) were followed by additional central bank support for financial markets. Levels of uncertainty remain high, as do market volatility levels.
The stocks which satisfy our investment criteria continue to be concentrated in the less cyclical areas of the market, with above-average returns and below-average debt levels. We see a “barbell” nature to the market with nearly half of the market in more cyclical sectors (financial services, basic materials, industrial goods, energy and transportation). Many stocks in these cyclical sectors appear cheap but we have concerns about the level and sustainability of future earnings.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica MFS International Equity Class A returned (40.23)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (EAFE) Index (“MSCI-EAFE”), returned (46.34)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
There has been no change to our investment philosophy or process. We remain focused on high-quality companies with sustainable above-average growth and returns whose prospects are not currently reflected in their valuation.
Stock selection and an overweighted position in the consumer staples sector contributed to performance relative to the MSCI-EAFE. Global food company Nestle S.A. (Switzerland), household and industrial products manufacturer Kao Corporation (Japan), household products manufacturer Reckitt Benckiser plc (United Kingdom (“UK”)), and producer of alcoholic drinks Diageo plc (UK) were among the portfolio’s top contributors for the reporting period.
An underweighted position in the financial services sector also boosted relative returns. Not holding financial services firm Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc helped as the company’s stock significantly underperformed the benchmark.
Favorable security selection in the basic materials sector was another positive area of relative performance. Chemical company Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. (Japan) boosted relative results during the reporting period.
Stocks in other sectors that aided relative returns included pharmaceutical and diagnostic company Roche Holding Ltd. (Switzerland) and printer and computer peripherals maker Canon Inc. (Japan).
The portfolio’s cash position was also a contributor to relative performance. The portfolio holds cash to buy new holdings and to provide liquidity. In a period when equity markets declined, as measured by the portfolio’s benchmark, holding cash helped performance versus the benchmark, which has no cash position. Stock selection in the leisure sector detracted from relative performance. Over the reporting period, the portfolio’s holdings of poor-performing UK gaming operator William Hill PLC held back relative results.
Underweighted positions in the utilities and communications and automotive and housing sectors also had a negative impact on relative results. No individual holdings within the utilities and communications sector were among the portfolio’s top detractors. In the automotive and housing sector, our positioning in automobile maker Toyota Industries Corporation (Japan) (this position was not held at period’s end) hindered relative returns.
A combination of security selection and an underweighted position in the energy sector dampened relative performance. Not owning integrated oil company BP PLC (UK), a benchmark constituent that outperformed the overall index, hurt relative returns.
Although the financial services sector was the top contributing sector to relative performance overall, several individual securities within this sector had a negative impact on results. These included financial services firms, UBS AG (Switzerland) (this position was not held at period’s end) and AXA (France), and banking operator Erste Bank AG (Austria).
Elsewhere, the portfolio’s holdings of poor-performing electrical equipment manufacturer Schneider Electric SA (France) held back relative returns.
We are spending much of our time analyzing cyclical stocks to see if we can invest in high quality, sustainable businesses at depressed valuations on a long term view, but so far we have made few trades. The non-cyclical stocks continue to trade at higher valuations, but we have more confidence that these companies can sustain reasonable levels of growth and returns through cycles.
The turnover in the portfolio was fairly low relative to the level of volatility in the market overall. At the end of September, the portfolio was most overweight the consumer staples and health care sectors and was most underweight the financial services and utilities and communications sectors.

NOTES
| | |
1 | | The Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia, and Far East Index (MSCI-EAFE) is a widely recognized unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (NAV) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges.
International investing involves special risks including currency fluctuations, political instability, and different financial accounting standards.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

Security Valuation — If the market quotations are not readily available, or if the investment advisor determines that the quotation does not represent a fair value, then the security is valued at a fair value as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Fund has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in the foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in the value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which the Fund’s shares are valued. At 10/31/2008, the fair value pricing model was employed. The prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. In addition, fair values may not reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security at the time of pricing.

Transamerica PIMCO Real Return TIPS
(unaudited)
MARKET ENVIRONMENT
During the first half of the period, yields on government bonds continued to fall worldwide, capping a period in which collapsing property markets and anxiety about sub-prime assets threatened to tip the US economy into recession. High quality bonds such as US Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outperformed most fixed income sectors during this period as investors sought safer assets during the sub-prime crisis. The TIPS market rally was more pronounced for shorter maturities over this time as surging commodity prices, notably food and energy, increased demand for the inflation protection of these issues. Market inflation expectations increased as a result, which are measured by the breakeven inflation level, or simply the difference between nominal and real yields of similar maturity. TIPS outperformed nominal Treasury bonds of comparable maturity during the period with strong inflation accruals from higher commodity prices driving relative performance.
To forestall a recession and unfreeze credit markets during the early part of the year, the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) initially eased the federal funds rate by 250 basis points. The US yield curve continued to steepen as markets expected more rate cuts and infusions of liquidity by the Fed to combat an ongoing credit crunch. During the year home prices were still in freefall, consumer confidence plunged and unemployment was on the rise. Oil prices touched a record and other commodity prices surged as well, helping push the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) inflation above 4%. Perhaps more importantly, higher energy costs helped to raise some indicators of inflation expectations. However, towards the close of the period inflation concerns were reeled in, as commodity prices fell, oil prices finally settled at $68/barrel.
During the second half of the period, TIPS gave back some of their gains as real yields rose fairly consistently across the maturity spectrum with intermediate yields rising the most. Declining commodity prices added to the negative prospects for these issues, while very illiquid market conditions exacerbated the downward move. The sharp rise in real yields can largely be attributable to TIPS reduced liquidity as prospects for diminished economic activity would most likely signal lower real interest rates.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica PIMCO Real Return TIPS Class A returned (5.29)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) Global Real US TIPS Index, returned (4.10)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
Curve positioning, with an emphasis on shorter maturities, was positive for performance, as the shape of the yield curve steepened as measured by the change in the 2 and 30-year Treasury yields. An average underweight to US duration during the past twelve months detracted from returns as yields fell over the period. An overweight to bonds of financial companies detracted from performance during the latter period; and contagion from sub-prime related de-leveraging swept through this sector despite unprecedented government support. These securities recovered some of the return as the credit markets started to show signs of stabilization in October. Modest exposure to emerging market currencies helped returns during the first half of the period as the US dollar weakened but gave back some returns during the latter half. During the early part of the year, overweight to real versus nominal US duration helped returns as US TIPS outperformed nominal bonds. An underweight to US TIPS during the latter half also helped returns as US TIPS significantly underperformed nominal bonds. An emphasis on Inflation Linked Bonds (“ILB“s) versus nominal bonds in Japan detracted from return; and ILBs underperformed their nominal counterparts in Japan as breakeven inflation moved into negative territory. UK and Euroland nominal bond positioning did offset some of the negative returns.

1 | | The Barclays Capital Global Real US TIPS Index is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 4.75% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (NAV) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges.
This material must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus, which includes specific contents regarding the investment objectives and policies of this Fund. This Fund is closed to new investments.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

| | |
(a) | | Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days). |
|
(b) | | 5% return per year before expenses. |

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Over the past twelve months, interest rates fell worldwide and yield curves in the US, Europe and the United Kingdom (“UK”) steepened as investors fled to the safety of government bonds, especially shorter maturities. To forestall a recession and unfreeze credit markets during the early part of the year, the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) initially eased the federal funds rate by 250 basis points and took several unconventional steps: it made several hundred billion dollars of liquidity facilities available to the financial system against an expanded range of collateral; opened its discount window to investment banks for the first time since the 1930s; arranged the rescue of The Bear Stearns Companies Inc. (“Bear Stearns”), a brokerage firm weighed down by sub-prime related exposure, and assumed the risk for $29 billion of Bear Stearns’ mortgage-backed securities. The US yield curve continued to steepen as markets expected more rate cuts and infusions of liquidity by the Fed.
During the middle part of the year, the central bank paused to reassess a US economy buffeted by conflicting pressures. On one side, banks and other financial institutions burdened with sub-prime related losses remained in dire need of liquidity, and the credit crisis spread to US regional banks. Home prices were still in freefall, consumer confidence plunged and unemployment was on the rise. On the other side, oil prices touched a record high and other commodity prices surged as well, helping push the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) inflation above 4%. The movement of yield curves in the US, the UK and Europe during that period reflected increased nervousness about inflation.
The crisis which was originally thought to be contained within the housing market has spread to the corporate sector as the lack of liquidity froze up the credit markets. The month of September featured a succession of shocking events. These included: the Treasury’s bailout of mortgage agencies, the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and insurer American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”); the realignment of the biggest U.S. investment banks via bankruptcy, merger, recapitalization or transformation into bank holding companies. The turmoil extended to money markets, where interbank lending rates soared to record highs as banks hoarded cash amid concern about each others’ credit quality. These events forced the Treasury to extend insurance to money market funds after several failed to maintain a $1 net asset value (“NAV”).
Just after the third quarter closed the U.S. Congress approved another massive ($700 billion) intervention proposed by the Treasury and the Fed, called the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”). This program aims to unclog credit markets by buying up distressed assets. As concern mounted about the spillover of the finance sector’s troubles into the broader economy, the Treasury instead took a historic step in investing $125 billion from TARP into nine of the country’s top banks with the remaining $125 billion available to take an additional stake in smaller financial institutions.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica PIMCO Total Return Class A returned (4.31)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) Aggregate Bond Index (“BCAB”), returned 0.30%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
Curve positioning, with an emphasis on shorter maturities, was positive for performance, as the shape of the yield curve steepened as measured by the change in the 2 and 30-year Treasury yields. An average underweight to US duration during the year detracted from returns as yields fell over the period. An overweight to bonds of financial companies, including Lehman Brothers and AIG, detracted from performance; and contagion from sub-prime related de-leveraging swept through this sector despite unprecedented government support. Overweight to spread sectors like high yield and emerging market detracted from performance as both sectors significantly underperformed treasuries. Modest exposure to emerging market currencies helped returns during the first half of the period as the US dollar weakened but gave back some returns during the latter half. Holdings of agency mortgage pass-throughs and non-agency mortgages detracted from return as volatility in the market hurt these securities. Modest holdings of municipal bonds detracted from returns as yield ratios relative to Treasuries widened to historic levels.

NOTES
| | |
1 | | The Barclays Capital Aggregate US Bond Index is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
The performance data presented represents past performance; future results may vary. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamericafunds.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (POP) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 4.75% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 6 years) for Class B shares and 1% (during the first 12 months) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 7 years) for Class B shares and (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (NAV) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.
The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If your account is an IRA, your expenses could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
At October 31, 2008
(all amounts in thousands)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Transamerica Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Transamerica American Century Large Company Value, Transamerica Clarion Global Real Estate Securities, Transamerica Evergreen Health Care, Transamerica Jennison Growth, Transamerica Legg Mason Partners Investors Value, Transamerica Marsico Growth, Transamerica MFS International Equity, Transamerica PIMCO Real Return TIPS, and Transamerica PIMCO Total Return (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) are part of Transamerica Funds.
Effective March 1, 2008, Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds changed its name to Transamerica Funds. Also effective on March 1, 2008, “TA IDEX” was removed from the beginning of each Fund name and replaced with “Transamerica”.
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
This report should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ current prospectus, which contains more complete information about the Funds.
In preparing the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), estimates or assumptions (which could differ from actual results) may be used that affect reported amounts and disclosures. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Funds currently have four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class I. Each of the classes has a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and different expense levels. Class I shares are currently offerred for investment primarily in certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class I shares are also made available to other investors, including institutional investors such as foreign insurers, domestic insurance companies and their separate accounts, and eligible retirement plans whose record keepers or financial service firm intermediaries have entered into agreements with Transamerica Funds or its agents. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class, based upon the value of shares outstanding method as permitted under Rule 18f-3 of the 1940 Act. Each class bears its own specific expenses as well as a portion of general, common expenses. Effective June 10, 2008, in addition to Class A, Class B, and Class C, Transamerica MFS International Equity also offers Class I.
Security valuations: The Funds value their investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. The Funds’ investments are valued at the last sale price or closing price on the day of valuation taken from the primary exchange where the security is principally traded.
Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the last quoted bid price.
Debt securities are valued based on a price quotation or other equivalent indication of value supplied by an exchange, a pricing service or a major market maker; however, those that mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market.
Foreign securities generally are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded. 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. If a significant market event impacting the value of a portfolio security (e.g., natural disaster, company announcement, market volatility) occurs subsequent to the close of trading in the security, but prior to the calculation of the Funds’ net asset value per share, market quotations for that security may be determined to be unreliable and, accordingly, not “readily available.” As a result, foreign equity securities held by the Funds may be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by Transamerica Asset Management, Inc.’s (“TAM”) Valuation Committee under the supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Other securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values have been determined to be unreliable are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by TAM’s Valuation Committee under the supervision of the Board of Trustees.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued its new Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 is designed to unify guidance for the measurement of fair value of all types of assets, including financial instruments, and certain liabilities, throughout a number of accounting standards. FAS 157 also establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements that are relevant to mutual funds. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and earlier application is permitted.
As of October 31, 2008, Management does not expect the adoption of FAS 157 to impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain of the measurements reported in the statement of operations for a fiscal period.
Cash overdraft: Throughout the year, the Funds may have a cash overdraft balances. A fee is incurred on these overdrafts, calculated by multiplying the overdrafts by a rate based on the federal funds rate.

(all amounts in thousands)
NOTE 1. (continued)
Repurchase agreements: The Funds are authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Funds, through their custodian, State Street Bank & Trust Company (“State Street”), receive delivery of the underlying securities, the value of which at the time of purchase is required to be an amount equal to at least 100% of the resale price. The Funds will bear the risk of value fluctuations until the security can be sold and may encounter delays and incur costs in liquidating the security. In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the seller, delays and costs may be incurred.
Commission recapture: The sub-advisers of certain Funds, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, have elected to place security transactions of the Funds with broker/dealers with which Transamerica Funds 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 Funds. In no event will commissions paid by the Funds be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica Funds, or by any other party.
Recaptured comissions during the year ended October 31, 2008 are included in net realized gains on the Statements of Operations and are summarized as follows:
| | | | |
Fund | | Commissions |
Transamerica Clarion Global Real Estate Securities | | $ | 29 | |
Transamerica Evergreen Health Care | | | 83 | |
Transamerica Jennison Growth | | | 36 | |
Transamerica Marsico Growth | | | 14 | |
TBA purchase commitments: The Funds may enter into “TBA” (to be announced) purchase commitments to purchase securities for a fixed price at a future date, typically not to exceed 45 days. TBA purchase commitments themselves are considered to be securities and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to settlement date, in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the Funds’ other assets. Unsettled TBA purchase commitments are valued at the current value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under Security Valuations.
Securities lending: The Funds may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with State Street acting as the Funds’ lending agent. The Funds earn negotiated lenders’ fees. The Funds receive cash and/or securities as collateral against the loaned securities. Cash collateral received is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Trust-Prime Portfolio. The Funds monitor the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at October 31, 2008 is shown in the Schedule of Investments and also in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees earned by State Street.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”): 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. Since some of the Funds invest primarily in real estate securities, the net asset value per share may fluctuate more widely than the value of shares of a fund that invests in a broad range of industries.
Dividend income is recorded at management’s estimate of the income 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.
Loan participations/ assignments: The Funds may purchase participations/ assignments in commercial loans. Such indebtedness may be secured or unsecured. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities that obligate the Funds to supply additional cash to the borrowers on demand. Loan participations/ assignments involve risks of insolvency of the lending banks or other financial intermediaries.
As such, the Funds assume the credit risks associated with the corporate borrowers and may assume the credit risks associated with the interposed banks or other financial intermediaries.
The Funds may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent banks and/or borrowers prior to the sale of these investments. Loan participations typically represent direct participation in loans to corporate borrowers, and generally are offered by banks or other financial institutions or lending syndicates. The Funds may participate in such syndications, or can buy a portion of the loans, becoming 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, under the terms of the loans or other indebtedness, the portfolios have direct recourse against the corporate borrowers, the Funds may have to rely on the agent banks or other financial intermediaries to apply appropriate credit remedies against corporate borrowers.
Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification basis. Dividend income, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of foreign securities, as soon as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis commencing on the settlement date.

NOTE 1. (continued)
Foreign currency denominated investments: The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate each day. The cost of foreign securities is translated at the exchange rate in effect when the investment was acquired. The Funds combine 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: 1) foreign currency fluctuations between trade date and settlement date of investment security transactions; 2) gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts; and 3) 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.
Forward foreign currency contracts: The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against exchange rate risk arising from investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies. Contracts are valued at the contractual forward rate and 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.
Open forward foreign currency contracts at October 31, 2008 are listed in the Schedules of Investments.
Swap agreements: The Funds may enter into swap agreements to manage their exposure to interest rate and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements are between two counterparties where one stream of future interest payments is exchanged for another based on a notional amount. Interest rate swaps often exchange a fixed payment for a floating payment that is linked to an interest rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The portfolios may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the portfolios owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Entering into these agreements involves elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are amortized over the term of the swap agreement. 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 are included as part of realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. In connection with these agreements, securities or cash may be held as collateral on deposit with broker counter parties in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
Open swap agreements at October 31, 2008 are listed in the Schedules of Investments.
Futures contracts: The Funds may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to market, interest rate or currency fluctuations. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held and the prices of futures contracts; the possibility of an illiquid market and inability of the counterparty to meet the contract terms.
The underlying face amounts of open futures contracts at October 31, 2008 are listed in the Schedules of Investments. The variation margin receivable or payable, as applicable, is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Variation margin represents the additional payment due or excess deposits made in order to maintain the equity account at the required margin level. In connection with these contracts, securities or cash may be held as collateral on deposit with broker counter parties in accordance with the terms of the respective futures contracts.
Option contracts: The Funds may enter into options contracts to manage exposure to market fluctuations. Options are valued at the average of the bid and ask (“Mean Quote”) established each day at the close of the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. The primary risks associated with options are imperfect correlation between the change in value of the securities held and the prices of the options contracts; the possibility of an illiquid market; and inability of the counterparty to meet the contracts terms. When the Funds write covered call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received by the Funds is included in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. Options are marked-to-market daily to reflect the current value of the option written.
Transactions in written options were as follows:

Swaptions contracts: The Funds are authorized to write swaption contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and to enhance fund yield. Swaption contracts written by the Funds represent an option that gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a previously agreed upon swap contract on a future date. If a written call swaption is exercised, the writer will enter a swap and is obligated to pay the fixed rate and receive a variable rate in exchange. Swaptions are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers.
When the Funds write swaptions, the premiums received are recorded as a liability and are subsequently adjusted to the current value of the swaption. Changes in the value of the swaption are reported as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in written option and swaption contracts and in the Statements of Operations. Gain or loss is recognized when the swaption contract expires or is closed. Premiums received from writing swaptions that expire or are exercised are treated by the Funds as realized gains from written option and swaption contracts. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on affecting a closing purchase transaction is treated as a realized gain or loss.
Transactions in written swaptions were as follows:

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold during the first five (5) NYSE trading days following their purchase date. This redemption fee will equal 2% of the amount redeemed and shares held the longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held the shortest as being redeemed last. For the year ended October 31, 2008, the Funds received redemption fees which are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Dividend distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Foreign capital gains taxes: The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest, with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Funds accrue such taxes when the related income or capital gains are earned. 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 on foreign capital remittances abroad.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) maintained by Transamerica Funds. Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in Class A shares of any series of Transamerica Funds, including the Funds, or investment options under Transamerica Partners Funds Group II, or funds of Transamerica Investors, Inc. The right of a participant to receive a distribution from the Plan of the deferred fees is an unsecured claim against the general assets of all series of Transamerica Funds.

Retirement plan: Under a prior retirement plan (the “Emeritus Plan”) available to the Independent Trustees, each Independent Trustee is deemed to have elected to serve as Trustee Emeritus of Transamerica Funds upon his or her termination of service, other than removal for cause, for a maximum period of five years determined by his or her years of service as a Trustee.
Such amounts shall be accrued by Transamerica Funds on a pro rata basis allocable to each Transamerica Fund based on the relative assets of the fund. If retainers increase in the future, past accruals (and credits) will be adjusted upward so that 50% of the Trustee’s current retainer is accrued and credited at all times. Upon death, disability or termination of service, other than removal for cause, amounts deferred become payable to a Trustee Emeritus (or his/her beneficiary). Upon the commencement of service as Trustee Emeritus, compensation will be paid on a quarterly basis during the time period that the Trustee Emeritus is allowed to serve as such.

NOTE 4. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Funds have not made any provisions for federal income or excise taxes due to their policy to distribute all of their taxable income and capital gains to their shareholders and otherwise qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Management has evaluated the Funds’ tax provisions taken for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatment for items including, but not limited to, wash sales, structured notes, foreign bonds, swaps, passive foreign investment companies, net operating losses and distribution reclasses.
Therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences. These reclassifications are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | Undistributed |
| | Shares of | | | | | | (accumulated) |
| | beneficial | | | | | | net realized |

NOTE 5. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In March 2008, the FASB issued its new Standard No. 161, “Disclosure About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about a Fund’s derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Dear Fellow Shareholder,
On behalf of Transamerica Funds, I would like to thank you for your continued support and confidence in our products as we look forward to continuing to serve you and your financial advisor in the future. We value the trust you have placed in us.
This annual report is provided to you with the intent of presenting a comprehensive review of the investments of each of your funds. The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that annual and semi-annual reports be sent to all shareholders, and we believe this report to be an important part of the investment process. In addition to providing a comprehensive review, this report also provides a discussion of accounting policies as well as matters presented to shareholders that may have required their vote.
We believe it is important to recognize and understand current market conditions in order to provide a context for reading this report. Both equity and fixed-income markets have experienced extreme volatility and accelerating downward pricing pressure over the past twelve months as a credit crisis has had profound effects on the financial markets and has spilled over into the global economy. Oil prices rose dramatically throughout the first seven months of 2008 and have fallen precipitously since then as the global economy has struggled and demand has declined. The Federal Reserve has lowered the federal funds rate during the past twelve months from 4.25% in November 2007 to 1.00% at the end of October 2008 as it has sought to provide liquidity in a difficult market environment. The Treasury department has also been taking an active role in an effort to stabilize the markets, including the initiation of the Temporary Money Market Guarantee program and the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP). The job market continues to struggle, as non-farm payrolls have weakened and the unemployment rate has risen to over 6%. In this environment, investors have flocked to money market instruments and Treasuries in a flight to quality. Many funds have struggled to produce positive returns. For the twelve months ending October 31, 2008, the Dow Jones Industrial Average returned -31.24%, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index returned -36.10%, and the Barclays Capital Aggregate U.S. Bond Index returned 0.30%. Please keep in mind it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio as investment returns have historically been difficult to predict.
In addition to your active involvement in the investment process, we firmly believe that a financial advisor is a key resource to help you build a complete picture of your current and future financial needs. Financial advisors are familiar with the market’s history, including long-term returns and volatility of various asset classes. With your financial advisor, you can develop an investment program that incorporates factors such as your goals, your investment timeline, and your risk tolerance.
Please contact your financial advisor if you have any questions about the contents of this report, and thanks again for the confidence you have placed in us.
Sincerely,

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
International equity markets suffered sharp losses during the twelve month period ending October 31, 2008. Market volatility resurfaced in 2007, as fears started to grow that turmoil in the credit markets would spill over into the real economy. Anxiety over escalating losses among banks and insurers on mortgage-backed securities dominated investor sentiment. These securities bundled together multiple sub-prime loans of differing credit quality typically numbering in the thousands and were traded across the globe, resulting in a lack of clarity about their ultimate ownership and true value.
Despite a fresh round of joint measures by central banks in December 2007 to alleviate pressure in the short-term money markets, investors remained nervous about further bank write-offs. As a result, equity-market volatility remained elevated from the unusually low level that had prevailed for an extended period before the sub-prime crisis struck. Also interest rates in the inter-bank lending market remained high as banks hoarded money to guard themselves against a possible shortage of funds.
These fears spilled over into 2008 as write-offs by investment banks and financial firms mounted and banks were forced to write down mortgage-related assets to market values that assumed catastrophic losses. Lending, which had been too lax, seized up, threatening to bring financial markets grinding to a halt as banks refused each other loans and tightened lending requirements for clients, including hedge funds and other key market participants. This forced more distressed sales and, in turn, more write-offs.
Then, during the third quarter of 2008, the crisis of confidence engulfed financial markets as doubts about the solvency of banks paralyzed inter-bank lending. A series of actions by the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Board and other central banks to boost liquidity averted a global meltdown in the financial services sector.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica AllianceBernstein International Value Class I returned (51.72)%. By comparison its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International-Europe, Australasia, and Far East Index (“MSCI-EAFE”), returned (46.34)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
Before fees, the portfolio underperformed its benchmark during the period, largely due to its exposure to troubled financial stocks. Among the most prominent detractors were HBOS plc (“HBOS”), Fortis SA/NV (“Fortis”), The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc and Deutsche Bank AG. Despite sound fundamentals, HBOS suffered due to fears about its access to short-term funding. While our research indicated that HBOS was adequately capitalized after its rights issue and faced no immediate liquidity threat, we underestimated the probability that it would face a crisis of confidence, forcing it into a takeover by Lloyds TSB Group plc. Benelux bank, Fortis was another detractor, falling on fears that its capital position was not strong enough to see it through the market stress. The bank was subsequently rescued at the end of the third quarter by the Belgian, Netherlands and Luxembourg governments. In other sectors, falling commodity prices and a weaker outlook for global growth dragged down industrial commodity stocks. Not all financials fell during the quarter as investors began to reward banks that appeared to be weathering the market disruption, such as Fairfax Financial Holdings Corp., the Canadian-based insurance group and Munich Re AG, the German insurer.
Other positions that helped relative returns during the period included Royal Dutch Shell plc, GlaxoSmithKline plc and Sanofi-Aventis.
Our research and experience as value managers has taught us to keep portfolio risk proportionate with the value opportunity we identify. After a lengthy period of compression, valuation spreads have widened. If this trend continues, we believe we may see increased opportunities to raise the portfolio’s concentration in undervalued industries and companies.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Equities seesawed through the twelve months ending October 31, 2008, but finished sharply lower as the credit crisis that erupted exactly one year ago spread deeply into the core of overleveraged financial institutions, culminating in a succession of tumultuous days that remade the US financial system and saw the failure of several Wall Street giants. As fear inundated the markets, US stocks sank to their lowest levels in over five years, erasing the greater part of the gains seen in the past bull market.
Borrowing costs shot up, and debt markets have become nearly inaccessible as investors shunned any debt that was not backed by the US government. Banks are wary of lending, and credit markets have tightened, moving beyond financials into the broader economy. Persistently weak job reports have pushed consumer confidence to an all time low, extending the slump in retail sales. Commodity prices have dropped sharply in recent quarters, in heavy contrast with the record prices set during summer, as evidence pointed to a global economy that is slowing along with the US.
Also weighing on the stock market were lowered corporate profit expectations. Although results have generally met expectations, excluding financials, earnings guidance turned unanimously lower in the last quarter, with the negative sentiment most visible in the technology, energy, and consumer discretionary sectors. All segments of the economy contracted during the period, led by the most economically sensitive categories. The stocks of defensive health care and consumer staples companies fared better than average for the period.
The government has been aggressive in its response to our lengthy financial crisis, acting swiftly in passing the rescue package, coordinating interest rate cuts with foreign central banks, through direct capital injections into banks, and other efforts that target the root of the crisis. Shrugging off the market’s overwhelming pessimism, the market rallied in the last week of October, driven by signs that frozen credit markets may be starting to soften after a year in. Although lending rates are still higher than normal, there were moderate improvements in bank lending and debt markets. Banks are still paying a high premium to borrow from one another, but the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) fell from its highest levels. Lending dried up after the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman Brothers”), but now the strains are showing signs of stabilizing.
The late improvements in credit markets, at the center of the financial problems, are encouraging, yet fears for an economic contraction continues to weigh on stocks and bonds. The Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) has, however, lowered its benchmark interest rate to the previous recession low of 1 percent. Tumbling commodities prices and weaker consumer spending have helped in containing inflation pressures, leaving the door open for further rate reductions by the Fed.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Bjurman, Barry Micro Emerging Growth, Class I returned (48.84)%. By comparison its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Growth Index (“Russell 2000 Growth”), returned (37.87)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
Against the backdrop of a weak market sentiment during the period, the portfolio’s performance was impacted by its greater focus in more dynamic, smaller, and more economically sensitive companies. The portfolio’s sector weightings, relative to the Russell 2000® Growth, differed the most in technology, constituting one-third of the portfolio, and energy, both of which were more heavily weighted and detracted from its return. However, the portfolio avoided consumer sectors such as retail and consumer services, contributing positively versus the index. The largest setback for the period was in overall security selection, given the general underperformance of the portfolio’s companies in growth sectors technology, industrials, manufacturing, transportation, and energy as they tended to be smaller and have higher growth characteristics. The stocks of larger market capitalization companies edged smaller capitalization companies, and likewise value stocks were favored over growth stocks during the period.
Despite extraordinary efforts by the US government, the stock market continues to trade at severely oversold conditions. After the weakness in the past year, we believe share price valuations across equities now reflect many of the risks highlighted. Markets tend to overshoot on both extremes, and much of the recent market action has been driven by forced selling in hedge funds and short term trading. Although the extreme market volatility may linger for a while, we believe equities are poised to recover sooner rather than later.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
For the period of November 1, 2007 through October 31, 2008, global equity and bond markets were extremely volatile. Global equity indices have corrected sharply during this period of volatility, as measured by the Financial Times Stock Exchange World Index (“FTSE World”) twelve-month return of (42.31)%. The environment for bonds, while not quite as weak as that for equities, was also negative, with the Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) Global Aggregate Bond Index returning (2.57)% in U.S. dollar terms for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2008. In the current market environment, we believe that economic growth is likely to remain below trend as volatility is likely to remain elevated as de-leveraging continues to unfold on a global basis. Nevertheless, the sharp sell-off we have witnessed in both equities and corporate bonds has created some excellent values in both stocks and bonds globally.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica BlackRock Global Allocation Class I returned (24.23)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the FTSE World, returned (42.31)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
For the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica BlackRock Global Allocation returned (24.23)%. The results exceeded the (24.27)% return of its Reference Portfolio for the twelve-month period, and the (42.31)% return of its broad-based all-equity benchmark, the FTSE World. The portfolio invests in a combination of equities and bonds; therefore, the Reference Portfolio provides both a truer representation of the portfolio’s composition and a more comparable means for measurement. Returns for each component of the Reference Portfolio for the twelve-months ended October 31, 2008, were as follows; the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index (“S&P 500”) returned (36.10)%, the FTSE World Index (ex-U.S.) returned (47.25)%; the Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury Current 5-year Index returned 10.09%; and the Citigroup (non-USD) World Government Bond Index returned 0.65%. The portfolio outpaced the (31.73)% average return of the Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds category for the same twelve-month period (placing in the 29th percentile).
In absolute terms, the portfolio’s returns were adversely impacted by the global equity correction which has occurred over the past twelve months. Although underweight equities relative to its Reference Portfolio, the portfolio’s overweight position in non-U.S. stocks weighed on returns, as non-US equity markets generally lagged the U.S. over the period. Effective security selection helped to offset the portfolio’s non-U.S. equity overweight, particularly within the financials, industrials, and information technology sectors.
Although underweight in bonds, the portfolio benefited from the composition of its fixed income component. This included a sizeable allocation to US Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”) and nominal Treasuries, and an overweight in Asian convertibles and short-dated (local currency-denominated) fixed income in emerging markets (notably Brazil). Also contributing to performance was the portfolio’s underweight US dollar-denominated assets relative to its Reference Portfolio.
The portfolio is modestly overweight equities at 60.5% relative to its Reference Portfolio. Although neutral in terms of allocation to equities as an asset class, the portfolio has a meaningful overweight position in Asian stocks and a meaningful underweight position in European stocks. The portfolio is also underweight fixed income securities relative to its Reference Portfolio. The portfolio’s allocation to fixed income is relatively neutral in terms of U.S. bonds relative to its Reference Portfolio but is underweight non-U.S. bonds due largely to the portfolio’s minimal exposure to Japanese government debt (“JGBs”). The low yields offered on JGBs compared to the relatively rich dividends currently available on most Japanese equities lead us to believe that Japanese stocks offer much better relative value than Japanese bonds. Credit quality of the portfolio’s fixed income component is quite high, with substantial allocations to nominal Treasuries and TIPS. The portfolio is overweight cash equivalents (9.3%) relative to its Reference Benchmark, partially due to the team’s desire to keep portfolio duration low.

Transamerica BlackRock Large Cap Value
(unaudited)
MARKET ENVIRONMENT
U.S. equities posted sharp losses for the annual period, and notably, in October, capped the worst month in over 20 years. For the twelve months, the large-cap Russell 1000® Index was down 36.80%. Shares of large-cap value companies performed relatively in line with large-cap growth stocks, as the Russell 1000® Value Index (“Russell 1000 Value”) lost 36.80% and the Russell 1000® Growth Index declined 36.95%.
The end of the period particularly the months of September and October was a historic time for financial markets as the credit crisis that began in the summer of 2007 boiled over and triggered unprecedented failures and consolidation in the financial sector, stoking fears of a market and economic collapse and prompting the largest government rescue plan since the Great Depression. Extraordinary events of the past twelve months included: the collapses of The Bear Stearns Companies Inc. (“Bear Stearns”) and Washington Mutual, Inc.; high-profile losses from General Electric Company and Bank of America Corporation; the U.S. government takeover of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and bailout of America International Group, Inc. (“AIG”); the bankruptcy of the Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman Brothers”); the reorganization of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“Goldman Sachs”) and Morgan Stanley as bank holding companies; the money market Reserve Primary Fund “breaking the buck,” and the passing of the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”). The period also featured a waning consumer, still-fragile housing market, rising unemployment, challenged corporate earnings and a dimming export sector, which, until recently, was the one bright spot in the U.S. economic picture.
For its part, the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) was very active throughout the period, lowering the federal funds target rate by 250 basis points (2.50%) between November 2007 and April 2008. The central bank remained on hold until early October, when, in concert with five other global central banks, it cut interest rates by 50 basis points in a rare move intended to stave off worldwide economic damage from the intensifying financial market turmoil. The Fed followed with an additional 50-basis-point reduction on October 29, 2008 bringing the target federal funds rate down to just 1.0% at period-end, its lowest level since 2004.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica BlackRock Large Cap Value Class I returned (37.76)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value, returned (36.80)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
The portfolio remained fully invested in equities throughout the twelve-month period. We decreased exposure to select financials names, exiting positions in AIG and Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”) and trimming the portfolio’s holding in JPMorgan Chase & Co. We also reduced exposure to those sectors most negatively impacted by a downturn in commodity prices, specifically industrials (e.g., Deere & Company and Honeywell International Inc.) and materials (e.g., The Dow Chemical Company). However, we increased the portfolio’s allocation to the energy sector, as the long-term supply/demand imbalance is favorable and valuations discount much lower oil prices. By contrast, we increased the portfolio’s exposure to traditionally defensive sectors, notably consumer staples and healthcare. In consumer staples, we purchased Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.; within healthcare, we purchased Johnson & Johnson; and also overweighted firms that provide cost-containment services, such as Medco Health Solutions, Inc., as secular growth in healthcare and medical cost inflation are driving demand in this area. Additionally, we increased the portfolio’s allocation to consumer discretionary, though this was predominantly a function of valuations based on our bottom-up stock selection process as opposed to a generally bullish sentiment.
Individual holdings that had the greatest positive impact on performance included CSX Corporation in the industrials sector and The Kroger Co. in the consumer staples sector. The portfolio’s overweights in biotechnology giant Amgen Inc. and insurer The Chubb Corporation benefited relative results as well.
Overweight positions in Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. and Hess Corporation were among the detractors from portfolio performance during the annual period. A position in United States Steel Corporation also hurt comparative results, as shares of the company declined 62% during the twelve months. In addition, underweighting Wells Fargo & Company and The Procter & Gamble Company hampered returns.
An underweight and stock selection in the financials sector was among the primary contributors to performance during the annual period. An overweight in the insurance sub-sector and underweight in capital markets and thrifts and mortgage finance names proved most advantageous. Specifically, the portfolio’s large underweight positions in AIG, Citigroup and Fannie Mae aided performance, as shares of all three names plummeted during the twelve months (Fannie Mae was down more than 98% over the period). Notably, we sold out of both AIG and Citigroup by period-end. In addition, our avoidance of benchmark holding Wachovia Corporation, which declined 85% overall, was beneficial. Also aiding results were security selections in consumer discretionary, an overweight position in energy and an underweight in materials. Conversely, security selections in the materials sector, combined with an underweight in consumer staples and overweight in information technology, detracted from comparative performance. An underweight and disappointing stock selection in the utilities sector also hindered results.

MARKET ENVIRNOMENT
It was a year of unprecedented volatility in the natural resources space, with stocks and commodities being driven by technical factors rather than by fundamentals for much of the period. The period commenced with commodity prices and commodity-related equities moving substantially higher until peaking in early July. The reversal since July has been dramatic, leaving commodity-related assets at multi-year lows across the spectrum. After surpassing $145/barrel on July 11, crude oil prices began a systematic decline to approximately $65/barrel at the end of October. Similarly, prices of natural gas, base metals, (such as nickel, aluminum and copper), and soft commodities (such as corn and wheat) suffered substantial declines. A number of factors have combined to create this type of market action, including long term supply constraints for certain commodities, a seemingly sharp drop-off in demand due to a sharp slowdown of global gross domestic product (“GDP”), and the overall strain of financial markets and the credit crisis. In general, a multitude of factors have pulled commodities sharply in every direction (first up and then down) over the past year. It appears that the extreme volatility is a sign of the current confusion and uncertainty in these markets.
Technical factors have contributed to the wild swings in the market, with momentum traders jumping in on the way up and then being forced to sell on the way down. Without question, the ongoing financial crisis has contributed to overall de-leveraging and concerns surrounding the sustainability of global growth that have plagued commodities over the past several months. Likely exacerbated by the reversal of the short US dollar/long commodities trade and several instances of forced liquidation by hedge funds and financial intermediaries, nearly the entire commodity universe has come under significant selling pressure following a spike higher in the first half of 2008.
Additionally, fundamental indicators have been volatile and have provided investors with mixed signals. Through the first part of the year, global GDP growth seemed robust enough to maintain tightness in all commodity markets. With emerging market demand leading the way, supply across the commodities arena could barely keep up with demand. However, as global growth has slowed more than expected, an excess of supply has developed in some commodities markets. With that said, long term supply constraints in segments of the energy market have negated, to an extent, the drop-off in demand, and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) seems ready to aggressively cut production to maintain that supply/demand balance and support oil prices. Going forward, we believe this may lead energy to outperform many metals/mining companies. Yet, since June, investors have sold all commodity-related assets indiscriminately, including gold, which many people view as a safe haven in a recessionary environment. Once again, some of this was due to technical factors and some of the selling was due to a rapid decline in demand. Only time will tell if the fundamentals have, in fact, deteriorated across the board as much as is currently priced-in to equities. We have rarely seen commodity-related equity valuations this low.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica BlackRock Natural Resources Class I returned (41.77)%. By comparison its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Natural Resources Index, returned (39.59)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
In this environment, we have managed to outperform many of our peers, despite dismal absolute returns, by maintaining our typical long-term investment horizon and emphasizing high-quality energy companies with strong balance sheets in the portfolio.
Due to the long term nature of our investment approach and our belief that the stocks we own are currently trading at undervalued levels, portfolio positioning is little changed. We remain underweight in the integrated oil stocks, which hurt relative performance during the period as these stocks tend to follow the broad market and energy has underperformed the broad market since June. We prefer oil service companies that have strong international business prospects and solid balance sheets, and oil and gas exploration and production stocks as we believe these companies offer superior future production and earnings growth prospects.
This has been a very difficult period and absolute performance was substantially negative. Nevertheless, we were able to achieve positive contributions from a select few names in the portfolio, including Range Resources Corporation and Southwestern Energy Company. As discussed, no sub-sector of the commodities market was spared and they all finished in negative territory by a substantial margin. Our exploration and production holdings performed better, on average, than most other sub-sectors, but our overweight caused this group to contribute to negative returns by an outsized amount. Conversely, our metals and mining holdings fell sharply, but our relatively small weighting to this group helped mitigate the negative impact on the portfolio. Stocks in the portfolio that were hit the hardest during the period include Aluminum Corporation of China Limited and National Oilwell Varco, Inc. We continue to hold both companies and maintain our overall positioning in the portfolio with the belief that the stocks have priced-in substantial global economic woes and that these valuations will correct from their current historic lows.

(unaudited)
MARKET ENVIRONMENT
The twelve months ended October, 31 2008 marked a period of significant market decline. While early in the period investors still had hopes that rising delinquency and default rates on sub-prime home mortgages would remain an isolated issue; and that the Federal Reserve Board’s (“Fed”) fed fund rate cuts which began last September would help to stimulate the economy, such optimism proved to be unfounded. The credit crisis gained speed in March of this year when Bear Stearns Companies Inc. (“Bear Stearns”) had to be dramatically rescued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. and the US Treasury. Financial stocks suffered through the rest of the first half of the year and in the third quarter IndyMac Bancorp, Inc., the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman Brothers”), Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”), American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”), Washington Mutual, Inc., and Wachovia Corporation all either failed or required rescue of one kind or another. Remarkably, the rest of the financial sector rebounded in the third quarter in anticipation of government assistance, resulting in the extraordinary outcome that despite the headline-grabbing failures, financial services was one of the strongest sectors in the third quarter.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica BNY Mellon Market Neutral Strategy Class I returned 3.30%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch 3-Month T-Bill + 3% Wrap Index, returned 5.84%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
Transamerica BNY Mellon Market Neutral Strategy is a long/short stock selection strategy based on our quantitative implementation of fundamental and technical valuation concepts. Our daily investment process combines over 40 factors, or characteristics, including value-based metrics, growth/momentum metrics, and factors based on corporate and management stock buying/selling activity. We blend these measures into a single composite rank for each stock using a dynamic weighting scheme that maintains an overall balance between value and growth/momentum based factors. Then we construct long and short portfolios that are carefully controlled along several dimensions of risk including neutral exposures to the overall market (beta), sector/industry exposure, capitalization, and other risk factors. Subject to these risk constraints, the target portfolio consists of long positions in the most attractive stocks and short positions in the least attractive stocks.
Growth/momentum metrics were the strongest component of the stock ranking model, with measures based on favorable price action attributes contributing most strongly. Valuation factors continued to struggle over the trailing twelve-months as they had during most of 2007, which dampened the magnitude of outperformance in the period.
We do not make significant tactical changes in the implementation of the strategy based on market conditions, and continued to maintain an even blend of value and growth/momentum factors despite the recent underperformance of the value components of the process. We do monitor and control risk exposures that develop in the market. For example, during this period we carefully controlled our exposure to leverage in the portfolio, which helped performance as the credit crisis dragged on.
The most successful stock selections were a short holding in investment bank Bear Stearns which collapsed in March, a short holding in Motorola, Inc. which has been hurt by its struggling mobile phone unit, and oil services company Global Industries, Ltd., which was held long early in the period when commodity prices where rising and held short during the later period when the stock declined on weakening commodity prices.
Among the poorest performing holdings were long positions in electric utility Reliant Energy, Inc. which has been struggling in the retail energy market and saw its shares drop sharply toward the end of the period, media company CBS Corporation which has faced a rapidly weakening advertising environment, and electronics distributor Avnet, Inc. which declined as the sluggish economy reduced its technology solutions sales.
Our investment process seeks to minimize the impact of sector/industry weightings on the performance of the portfolio by maintaining approximately equal weightings of long and short positions in each sector and industry. Nevertheless, slight net long and short sector/industry positions, such as our net long position in the energy sector, did have a small negative overall impact on performance.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
The market declines which picked up steam in the second half of 2007 turned into avalanches during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. The breadth and depth of this crisis and its ripple effects across other sectors and industries has driven the major global economies into recession, confirmed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”). Additionally, volatility was at extreme levels during the period. No sector, market or capitalization group escaped the downturn.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Evergreen International Small Cap Class I returned (50.10)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the S&P Citigroup EMI Global Ex-U.S. Index, returned (55.13)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
The portfolio maintained its focus on small and mid cap stocks but there were significant changes, both sectorally and geographically, driven by a combination of stock specific issues as well as by macro considerations. Sizeable reductions were made in Europe, principally Spain, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands, with increases in Japan and, to a lesser degree, in the United Kingdom (“UK”). We believed that Europe would fare somewhat worse in the current downturn whereas domestic Japanese stocks had been the relative safe haven in the recent turmoil as the yen had been strengthening. The stock changes spanned a range of sectors with the largest reductions in consumer discretionary and industrials in favor of increased weight in financials, health care and consumer staples. Within financials, our strategy was to reduce exposure to banks that had need for capital and to move towards those companies, such as insurers with strong capital bases and stock exchanges, which have ample capital and few capital requirements. Health care and consumer staples offer better protections generally in this type of environment.
Over the year the portfolio outperformed and had positive contributions from a number of sectors, including consumer staples, information technology (“IT”), industrials, consumer discretionary and financials. In all cases, stock outperformance was the base of the contribution while our underweight in financials and overweight in consumer staples also proved helpful. In consumer staples, our strategy of building up exposure to some domestic-focused Japanese holdings proved positive. In IT, Japanese video game companies Square Enix Co., Ltd. And Capcom Co., Ltd. Had the largest positive effect. Also within the IT sector, D+S Europe, Ag, the German-based call center company was taken over, resulting in positive benefit to the portfolio. Another Japanese holding, Nissha Printing Co., Ltd. Topped the list in industrials with Experian Group Limited and Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. also contributing well. Our strategy of selective exposure in financials proved positive as the top nine contributors by effect were either insurers or stock exchanges.
From a country perspective, Japan contributed most, reflecting many of the earlier comments, followed by the UK. Our underweight in emerging markets also proved positive. In a year of significant negative returns in equity markets our exposure to cash proved positive as did the currency hedges we had put in place to guard against appreciation in the U.S. dollar.
Utilities, energy and telecommunications services were the major detracting sectors in the period. These suffered principally from stock underperformance while an underweight in utilities, the second best performing sector, also proved negative. The weakest holding in utilities was China Gas Holdings, which saw a reversal in its valuation level, while in energy, producer Premier Oil plc and oil services company Technip suffered from the sharp fall in oil prices.
Geographically, Europe and Canada was the most negative. Within Europe, our overweight in France combined with specific stock underperformances were the cause.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
The reporting period was extraordinarily poor for all equity markets. In the United States, the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index (“S&P 500”), for example, returned (36.10)%. Financial system and economic distress have continued to spread, and the housing and mortgage-finance bubbles led to spreading losses in arcane financial instruments as well as conventional loans. In management’s opinion, the stress has moved from the financial sector to the non-financial sector of the economy throughout the world. Stress on households, corporations, and governments are exacerbated by a legacy of record debts. We believe that the huge debt burden will constrain economic growth for some time. We also believe equity markets are in a long-term decline, but that the collapse in October left markets much more attractively priced and likely to have a sizable rebound over the near term.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Federated Market Opportunity Class I returned (7.16)%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the Russell 3000® Value Index and the Merrill Lynch 3-Month T-Bill Index, returned (36.32)% and 5.84%, respectively.
STRATEGY REVIEW
The portfolio is managed with an emphasis on moderate capital appreciation with low volatility, and an emphasis on capital preservation when valuations and risks are high. It is not managed towards an equity benchmark or with regard to the individual components of an equity benchmark.
For most of the fiscal year, the portfolio had been positioned to benefit from a significant decline in US equity prices. The portfolio had substantial cash reserves in addition to put options and ultra short exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) as a hedge against a decline in stock prices. The put options and ultra short ETFs would increase in value if stock prices fell. This worked quite well for the portfolio until the end of June, since the market declined and produced significant gains on the put options and ultra short ETFs. The portfolio manager believed that market bubble history and market valuation history in general, and the rapidly deteriorating economic and financial conditions, supported a highly risk-averse strategy during the period. Unfortunately, during the summer and especially in September and October, the portfolio’s large holdings in gold and energy stocks had large losses from a sharp correction in commodity markets and related stock prices. (We believe that both sectors are in bull markets and are now quite attractively priced.)
Late in the fiscal year with the passage of the US government bailout program, the portfolio changed its position and took a neutral, rather than bearish, position on stock markets. As markets crashed in October, we added significantly to stocks, as sharply lower prices resulted in much better valuations, along with the expectation of a strong bounce from overly depressed levels. Coordinated efforts from governments around the world on interest rate cuts and bailout programs gave encouragement to investors, and markets (and the portfolio) finally started to rebound during the last week of the fiscal year.
Among the portfolio’s equity sector returns, virtually all had negative returns for the fiscal year. Gold and energy stocks were especially hurt with the bursting of the commodity bubble. We noted that gold stocks were quite cheap relative to the price of gold and thought there were not large risks in that sector. When gold stocks plummeted in October, they became the cheapest on record versus gold bullion and are extremely attractive in our opinion.
In terms of currencies and their impact on investment results for foreign holdings, the U.S. dollar appreciated against most currencies, as the U.S. dollar index (“USDX”) rose nearly 12%. This increase of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies decreased the value in U.S. dollar terms of returns on the portfolio’s foreign holdings. In particular, the Canadian dollar fell more than 28%, and the euro nearly 12%. However; the Japanese yen gained almost 15% and partially offset the losses in the other currencies.
Among the several positive contributors to the portfolio’s performance, were the put options on Amazon.com, Inc. The worst contributor was from Yamana Gold Inc., a Canadian gold mining company. The best performing sectors were financials and consumer discretionary, while the worst performing were materials and energy. From a country perspective, United Kingdom stocks were the top contributors to the portfolio.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Global fixed income markets experienced heightened volatility and extreme illiquidity during the twelve months ended October 31, 2008. The period started with an abrupt increase in volatility and a broad re-pricing of risk that shook capital markets in the latter half of 2007. Fears that began in the sub-prime mortgage market extended rapidly across all markets, causing spreads to widen precipitously and liquidity to shrink rapidly, regardless of underlying fundamentals. Toward the end of first-quarter 2008, financial news saw continued sub-prime mortgage write-downs, concerns by rating agencies regarding the capitalization of bond insurers, and de-leveraging by hedge funds and banks that created selling pressure in the markets. The combined efforts of the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) and JPMorgan Chase & Co. to rescue The Bear Stearns Companies Inc. (“Bear Stearns”) in March, followed by the Fed’s creation of a credit facility to provide a liquidity backstop for broker-dealers looked certain to have long-term implications for Wall Street and the economy. Fixed income markets saw better sentiment in April and May, as volatility declined, spreads narrowed and pricing improved following the Fed’s responses to financial market disruption in the previous quarter. However, conditions deteriorated late in the quarter, offsetting earlier gains. Concerns about commodity prices, particularly oil, and inflation expectations, as well as comments by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, led many to anticipate that it would raise rates in the near term and remove liquidity that had been introduced in the markets, causing bond rates to rise and spreads to widen. However, weakness in the financial markets and the potential for weak economic growth in the future remained a real threat, as financial firms continued to report large write-downs, concerns about monoline bond insurers grew further and the rating agencies continued to downgrade significant numbers of securities.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica JPMorgan International Bond Class I returned (0.14)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the JPMorgan Government Bond Index (GBI) ex-U.S. unhedged Index, returned 1.73%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
The past twelve months represented one of the most challenging times the fixed income capital markets have faced, characterized by huge volatility in spreads, curves and rate expectations. Precipitous widening in swap and mortgage spreads along with other credit spreads caused market liquidity to shrink rapidly, with almost every issuer and sector affected, regardless of actual sub-prime exposure. Exposure across spread products detracted from performance, as issues surrounding sub-prime mortgages were felt across all fixed income sectors, regardless of quality and issuer market. Swap spreads widened throughout the year, which further hurt our allocation in agency-backed securities. To comply with the diversification rule, we held exposure to these products.
On the upside, the portfolio benefited from our interest rate, country spread and currency decisions over the period. Our yield curve steepening bias in the United Kingdom (“UK”) and Europe added to performance, as well as our long-duration exposure in Japan. We also entered two key cross-country spread trades in the period, which added to performance. The first was an overweight in the UK’s 10-year versus Europe’s 10-year government bonds, and the second, an overweight in Europe’s 10-year versus Canada’s 10-year government bonds.
Our currency allocation contributed to results over the twelve months. In a period of unprecedented volatility and risk aversion in currency markets, our qualitative currency process added to a number of positive themes, two of which were primary drivers of performance. The first was a carry-unwind trend and the second, the dramatic recovery of the U.S. dollar. Our currency allocation benefited from these themes by remaining short on the yen and Swiss franc versus Pan-European currencies, and short on commodity currencies compared to the U.S. dollar. We also had a long Scandinavian exposure against Pan-European currencies over the year until October, when investors continued to unwind overall emerging market exposure and moved toward risk aversion.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Investors faced significant challenges over the past twelve months, all of which began with the decline in U.S. housing and subsequent concerns about increased mortgage defaults. These events led to massive write-downs of mortgage-related assets, which, by the end of the period, resulted in a radical reconfiguration of the U.S. investment banking landscape and unprecedented efforts by policymakers to restore investor confidence in the capital markets.
Sentiment turned very negative during the summer months, as bad news on the economic, financial and inflation fronts conspired to produce further market declines. Further complicating matters was that, while the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) continued to acknowledge the weak prospects for growth, Fed members shifted toward concerns about inflation control as oil topped $140 a barrel and consumer inflation expectations soared to their highest level since the early 1980s.
Toward the end of the period, financial markets experienced unprecedented tests as the U.S. government took control of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”), while Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman Brothers”), one of the most prized U.S. investment banks, filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition, causing further equity and credit market dislocations. This appeared to be the breaking point as the U.S. government began taking comprehensive action to stem the financial crisis by setting forth a plan to stop the self-perpetuating cycle of falling asset values, asset liquidations and share price collapses.
Over the period, the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index (“S&P 500”) returned (36.10)%, while mid-cap stocks, represented by the Russell Midcap® Index (“Russell Midcap”), returned (40.77)%. For 2008 to date, large-cap and mid-cap stocks trailed small caps as the S&P 500, Russell Midcap and the Russell 2000 Index returned (32.84)%, (37.50)% and (29.02)% respectively.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica JPMorgan Mid Cap Value Class I returned (34.92)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index, returned (38.83)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
The portfolio outperformed its benchmark for the year ended October 31, 2008. Stock selection in the financial and consumer discretionary sectors contributed to performance, while stock selection in health care and energy detracted from results. At the individual stock level, Public Storage, a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that develops and operates self-storage facilities in U.S. and Europe, was a top performer. The company benefited from increased demand for storage space resulting from the unfortunate increase in foreclosure activity. The company continues to generate strong cash flow, allowing management to pursue strategic acquisitions while increasing dividend payments to shareholders.
Discount retailer TJX Companies, Inc. also contributed to performance. In a tough retail environment, the company was able to earn strong margins at the expense of department stores. While we continue to like the stock, we have been taking profits and deploying capital to more attractive risk/reward opportunities.
On the downside, shares of Coventry Health Care, a diversified U.S. health insurer, declined following a reduced 2008 outlook from management. The company faces higher medical cost trends in its Medicare and commercial risk businesses as well as lower revenue growth expectations. While we believe that the company can pass on a large portion of its higher costs to members, we believe the environment will remain challenged.
Principal Financial Group, Inc., which provides life and health insurance as well as manages retirement assets, also detracted from performance. Investors were concerned about the company’s investment portfolio and its ability to meet liabilities on life insurance products. However, we view the company to be a durable franchise, as it is a leading provider of 401(k) products and services that continue to report record levels of inflows and assets under management.
The portfolio’s strategy is based on the premise that stock selection, focused on undervalued mid-cap companies with durable franchises that are led by strong management teams, should generate consistent return opportunities over the long term. We employ a bottom-up approach to stock selection, constructing portfolios based on company fundamentals, quantitative screening and proprietary fundamental analysis. Our aim is to identify undervalued companies that have the potential to grow their intrinsic values per share and to purchase these companies at a discount.
We have maintained our focus throughout the period by continuing to invest in undervalued mid-cap companies with durable franchises and strong management. These characteristics are often sought after as high-quality companies tend to hold their value and attract greater capital flows when markets turn more volatile. Despite different investment styles/themes coming in and going out of favor, we have not wavered in what is important to us and continue to implement the same disciplined investment process.

MARKET ENVIRNOMENT
September and October 2008 have been the worst in the history of corporate bond markets, with the investment grade year-to-date figure now more than three times as bad as any year we have experienced over the past two decades. The risk trade continued from mid-March through May on the back of The Bear Stearns Companies Inc. (“Bear Stearns”) rescue and the Federal Reserve Board’s (“Fed”) actions to support liquidity.
Corporate bond markets began the third quarter with prospects for slowing growth, rising inflation, and housing market concerns weighing on sentiment. This anemic risk appetite accelerated throughout the quarter, reflecting growing anxiety about the strength of the economy and the underlying deterioration of mortgage-related assets. Tremendously thin liquidity intensified the severity of the price action.
In September, a pervasive crisis of confidence drained corporate markets of liquidity and risk capacity, driving flows to quality assets. The deepening credit crisis saw, among other things: federal conservatorship of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”); the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman Brothers”); Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) selling its franchise to Bank of America Corporation; insurer American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) ceding to government control in exchange for an $85 billion loan; The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“Goldman Sachs”) and Morgan Stanley reclassifying themselves as commercial banks; and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)-engineered sales of Washington Mutual, Inc. and Wachovia Corporation. Each of these events taken individually would be momentous market movers, and in aggregate represent a dramatic shift in the structure of the financial system.
In October, expectations for a US recession increased to near certainty. Activity indicators including industrial production and supply weakened. The increasingly negative economic outlook and weakening labor market appeared to depress consumer measures including retail sales and consumer confidence. The spread and intensification of the credit crunch in September continued to feed through the real economy, further tightening credit availability to corporations and households. A weaker economy coupled with strong anti-inflationary impulses from housing, credit, and energy contributed to lower global interest rates.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Loomis Sayles Bond Class I returned (23.56)%. By comparison, its benchmark, Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) U.S. Government Credit/Bond Index, returned (1.06)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
On the path from housing crisis to financial crisis to market crisis to political crisis, the turmoil punished returns across asset classes. Financials comprise 40% of the investment grade market and led corporates lower across the board. As banks nursed capital and short-term markets froze, businesses had difficulty borrowing, and levered issuers facing impaired access to capital were among the major laggards. High yield bonds had held up relatively well through August, but technical pressures and the ripple effects of the combined crises pushed yield spreads out to record levels. Indeed, no high yield sector finished the third quarter with a positive excess return before plummeting dramatically in October. Meanwhile, strong demand for US dollars and a belief that banking woes would have a global economic impact led to appreciation versus most major currencies. In general, Asian and Latin American currencies remained under pressure as a slowdown would likely impact export and commodity markets. Emerging markets were not immune, especially as many of these investments were sources of cash for funds meeting redemption calls.
On the basis of contribution to return, positive contributors included cash, and Australian dollar denominated holdings sold before the recent bout of dollar strength. Primary negative contributors were consumer cyclical, communications, and finance companies. Foreign holdings with impacts on performance included the Japanese yen on the upside, with securities denominated in the Indonesian rupiah, the Canadian dollar, and the Brazilian real leading the negative performers. Individual performers included 30-year US Treasury bonds, Japanese yen denominated corporate bonds, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated convertible bond. Negative contributors included Indonesian rupiah supranational debt, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred securities, AIG, and Lehman Brothers.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
International equity performance in developed markets was dismal during the fiscal year ending October 31, 2008. The portfolio’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International-EAFE Index (“MSCI-EAFE”), posted a return of (46.34)% for the reporting period.
From a Global Industry Classification Standards (“GICS”) economic sector perspective (using the MSCI-EAFE as a reference point), performance weakness was widespread. All 10 GICS sectors in the benchmark index had negative returns, the weakest being financials (57%), materials (54%), and industrials (53%). Health care was the best-performing sector with a return of (19)%. All other sectors were down between (31)% and (50)%.
The MSCI-EAFE’s largest country-level constituents had unfavorable results for the period. The United Kingdom and Japan, which together comprise approximately 43% of the Index, posted returns of (48)% and (38)%, respectively. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index plummeted more than 56% for the twelve-months ended October 31, 2008.
There was tremendous volatility in currency movements versus the US dollar during the period. Overall, US-based investors in international equities did not get the benefit of a significant currency “lift” during the twelve-month period, as the dollar strengthened as compared to certain currencies including the euro and the pound.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Marsico International Growth Class I returned (53.42)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the MSCI-EAFE, returned (46.34)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
The portfolio underperformed the MSCI-EAFE, its benchmark index, for the period. The portfolio’s performance results were hampered by both stock selection and positioning in the consumer discretionary sector. Though the portfolio reduced its exposure to the sector later in the reporting period, on average, the portfolio had more exposure to the consumer discretionary sector than its benchmark index. This positioning hurt performance as consumer-related equities were seemingly beset by worries regarding the potential impact of a global economic slowdown. A number of the portfolio’s holdings in the sector posted sharp price declines, including hotel/casino operator Las Vegas Sands Corp. (89%), France-headquartered hotel operator Accor S.A. (58%), German automobile components company Continental AG (26)% (prior to being sold from the portfolio), and Hong Kong-headquartered apparel company Esprit Holdings Limited (65%).
Industrials-related positions in the portfolio posted an aggregate loss of (64)%. Denmark-headquartered manufacturer of wind turbines, Vestas Wind Systems A/S dropped (62)%. Swiss power and automation technology company ABB Ltd., French power company ALSTOM., and Spanish wind turbine company Gamesa Corporacion Tecnologica SA also posted sharp declines.
The portfolio’s performance results were further hampered by stock selection in the utilities and energy sectors. Several energy holdings also materially detracted from performance results, including Brazil-based energy company Petroleo Brasileiro SA and France-headquartered CGG Veritas. France-based utility company Veolia Environnement SA declined sharply prior to being sold from the portfolio.
There were several bright spots in the portfolio’s performance. Through stock selection, the portfolio was able to achieve better returns in the health care sector than its benchmark index. Certain individual positions posted strong returns, relative to the benchmark index, such as information technology holding Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (prior to being sold), and health care companies Roche Holding Ltd., Genentech, Inc., and Actelion Ltd.
The portfolio had cash and cash equivalents position of approximately 7%, on average. In the latter weeks of the performance period, cash was further elevated, representing approximately 12% of the portfolio’s net assets as of October 31, 2008. Given the volatility and overall decline in international equity prices, the portfolio’s cash weighting had a positive impact on performance as compared to the fully-invested MSCI-EAFE. The portfolio further benefited in general from US dollar strengthening through its dollar-based holdings (including cash equivalents) and its tendency to be underweighted in countries whose “home currency” depreciated substantially vs. the dollar, including the euro and the pound.
As of October 31, 2008, the portfolio’s economic sector allocations emphasized financials, health care, consumer staples, and industrials. As of month-end, the country weightings emphasized Switzerland, United Kingdom, Japan, and France. (Sector and country weightings are primarily a residual of the stock selection process.)

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
International markets were challenging during the fiscal year ending October 31, 2008, with the Morgan Stanley Capital International- EAFE Index (“MSCI-EAFE”) declining more than 46%. The credit crunch worsened considerably at the end of the period as the impact of efforts by the U.S. and other governments to help ease the blockage of the global financial system remained uncertain. Not surprisingly, the financial and materials sectors were two of the worst performing in the MSCI-EAFE — as financials suffered from a crisis of confidence and commodities declined on the back of fears that the financial turmoil would cause a severe global economic downturn. Health care was a relative bright spot, however, with index returns still down over 18%.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Neuberger Berman International Class I returned (51.66)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the MSCI-EAFE, returned (46.34)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
From a sector perspective, financials was the top contributor to relative performance — helped by our significant underweight position. The materials sector also benefited the portfolio, primarily from an underweight position. Energy was the largest detractor to relative performance, from poor stock performance in companies like Paladin Energy Corp. (“Paladin”), discussed below, and C.A.T. Oil of Germany. Poor stock performance in consumer discretionary also detracted from performance. From a country perspective, Belgium, Italy and Ireland were our best performers on a relative basis. The United Kingdom (“UK”), Germany and Japan were the greatest detractors to relative returns.
Among our top performers, was Hogy Medical Co., Ltd. (“Hogy”), a Japanese based health care company. Hogy manufactures and sells medical supply and related products aimed at increasing efficiencies — sterilized tools, disposable injectors and disposable trays. Kloeckner & Co.
AG(“Kloeckner”), a German industrials company, was also a top performer; Kloeckner is a steel and metal distributor (eliminated from the portfolio in 2Q08). Cameco Corporation, a Canadian uranium company, outperformed in the period.
Our biggest detractors included Paladin, an Australian uranium mining company. Paladin declined as uranium prices, along with other commodities, fell. Paladin has been eliminated from the portfolio. Informa plc, a publications and event franchise company in the UK, also underperformed; we have trimmed the position. Other detractors included Vallourec S.A. (“Vallourec”), a manufacturer of seamless steel tubes and connectors. Vallourec, after strong results in the second quarter of 2008, declined in the third quarter on the back of a significant pullback in gas prices.
We continue to hold Vallourec and believe the sell-off was overdone, as secular trends remain positive (deeper drilling as well as horizontal and directional wells all rely increasingly on premium pipe and connection technology) and Vallourec has significant exposure to non Oil Country Tubular Goods (“OCTG”) markets (e.g., power generation and mechanical engineering).
We have positioned our portfolio more defensively— we significantly trimmed our energy holdings, eliminating the higher cost producers, such as the oil sands companies Suncor Energy Inc. and Canadian Natural Resources Limited. We have also reduced our consumer discretionary exposure, specifically automotive related names, like Porsche Automobil Holding SE. We have further decreased our financials exposure, making financials the most significant underweight position. Our current financial holdings are concentrated in more traditional deposit taking and lending type institutions. We redeployed some of this cash in areas we consider to be more defensive — health care and consumer staples.
In this extreme volatility, we continue to remain focused on our QUARP — quality at a reasonable price — discipline of investing in high quality, financially strong companies with good organic growth opportunities. Across sectors, we are avoiding highly levered companies or companies that will have significant short term refinancing needs; and looking for companies with low fixed costs, that have the flexibility to react quickly to softening demand.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Equity markets suffered sharp declines across the globe during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, particularly in the final six weeks of the period. The portfolio performed weakly on an absolute basis during the reporting period; however, it outperformed its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index (“MSCI-EMI”).
The period marked an extremely tumultuous time for the global economy. The fall out in the sub-prime lending markets cascaded into the broader financial markets, negatively impacting many financial firms around the world. Widespread aversion to risk permeated the market, and bids were few and far between on securitized loans for mortgages, credit card obligations, automotive loans, or almost any other asset dependent on an expected cash flow. With potential buyers balking, the banks continued either to sell the loans they still held at deep discounts or to write them down further. These revaluations, to some virtually unknowable market value led to outstanding losses for formerly venerable financial institutions. As a result of the growing uncertainty in the credit markets, banks began to tighten lending standards, which led to a significant weakening in the credit markets.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Oppenheimer Developing Markets Class I returned (47.48)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the MSCI-EMI, returned (56.22)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
On an absolute basis, nearly all of the portfolio’s geographies and sectors declined over the period. Geographically, positions in Russia, India, and Brazil were most responsible for negative performance. While we are generally less than sanguine about governance and industrial diversity in Russia, one of the portfolio’s largest holdings is in the Russian energy company OAO Gazprom (“Gazprom”), one of the leading detractors to return. In our opinion, the price of Gazprom is entirely disconnected with fundamentals in terms of assets, earnings and cash flow, and so we continue to remain bullish on this holding. In India, Infosys Technologies Limited, an information technology (“IT”) service company, and financials such as Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited and HDFC Bank Limited, impeded performance. Within Brazil, holdings in Lojas Americanas S.A. (“Lojas Americanas”), a Brazilian retailer, and Petroleo Brasileiro SA (“Petrobras”), stymied returns.
In terms of the portfolio’s absolute performance across sectors, financials, energy, and consumer discretionary were the primary detractors from return. Within financials, the global credit crisis pulled down the value of many of the portfolio’s holdings in commercial banks. Nonetheless, relative to the benchmark, judicious stock selection led to outperformance. In the consumer discretionary sector, the portfolio’s performance was hurt by holdings in: China Resource Enterprise, Limited, a Chinese distributor; Lojas Americanas, the aforementioned Brazilian retailer; and Television Broadcasts Limited, a Hong Kong-based media company. Regarding the energy sector, holdings in consumable fuels, specifically in Petrobras and Gazprom, most significantly hurt performance.
Orascom Telecom Holding SAE (“ORTE”) was another significant detractor. We believe the growth backdrop — related to macro volatility and inflationary pressures — in South Asian markets will recover as global food and fuel prices retreat. We believe ORTE has amongst the most attractive geographic growth footprints amongst the larger multi-national wireless operators, and we also believe ORTE’s management to be amongst the best capital allocators in the industry. In our opinion, this is an undervalued set of assets, which will eventually return to the radar screens of the fashion sensitive, and for this reason we continue to add to our position.
IT and financials were the best relative sector contributors to performance, where the portfolio significantly outperformed the benchmark in terms of stock selection. From a country perspective, China, India and Taiwan were the best relative performers. In China, the portfolio had better relative stock selection than the index and also was underweight, both of which helped relative performance. In terms of India and Taiwan, the portfolio faired significantly better in terms of stock selection than did the index, and the portfolio was overweight as well in those two countries. The portfolio also benefited on a relative basis in terms of its stock selection with regards to Mexico and Turkey, and was overweight both countries.
Despite high levels of uncertainty and broad economic weakness, we remain unwavering in our approach to investing. We are long-term investors in growth companies that demonstrate sound economics high returns on capital employed. Companies with these economic characteristics are rarely priced at anything close to attractive prices, and so we seek to capitalize on broad share price weakness to add significantly to our core positions.

Transamerica Oppenheimer Small- & Mid-Cap Value
(unaudited)
MARKET ENVIRONMENT
The period marked an extremely turbulent time for the global economy and financial markets. Domestically, unemployment rose, the cost of food climbed, and energy prices soared for several months before declining during the last three months of the period, as a slowing global economy caused demand to wane. Home values continued to drop, while mortgage foreclosures sharply rose. Investments in residential structures tumbled and business investment declined, while the fall out in the sub-prime lending markets cascaded into the broader financial markets. Large financial institutions were forced to assume deep write offs as confidence in bonds backed by sub-prime mortgages began to quickly deteriorate. As a result of the growing uncertainty in the credit markets, banks began to tighten lending standards, which led to a significant weakening in the credit markets.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Oppenheimer Small- & Mid-Cap Value Class I returned (48.36)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 2500® Value Index, returned (33.64)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
We attribute the bulk of the portfolio’s negative performance to issues stemming from the global credit crisis, the global economic slowdown and the market’s flight to quality. The global credit crisis made refinancing difficult for some companies to attain, and as a result the equity markets grew increasingly sensitive to the amount of debt listed on a company’s balance sheet. The portfolio’s exposure to companies that were more levered than their peers contributed to its underperformance. Although none of the companies held in the portfolio had difficulties refinancing debt, the markets feared otherwise and the ensuing sell off caused stock prices to decline.
The global economic slowdown also negatively affected performance. Positions in market sectors that tend to underperform during economic pullbacks, such as industrials and materials, hampered the portfolio’s absolute returns. The severity of the slowdown made even non-cyclical stocks within the portfolio more sensitive to economic shifts than anticipated. Within utilities, traditionally a defensive sector, our positions in several unregulated utilities were the biggest detractors from performance. Over the period, the slowing economy tightened supply and demand for energy, and unregulated utilities tend to be more sensitive to economic shifts than regulated utilities.
The market’s flight to quality also detracted from performance. As concerns mounted over a synchronized global economic slowdown, equity markets amplified the importance of a company’s near-term performance. If the markets believed a company possessed any type of near-term uncertainty, the company’s stock declined. Given that we are long-term investors who take a three to five year view of the companies that we hold, the markets short-term perspective contrasted sharply with our investment philosophy. As a result, the portfolio did not hold enough of the securities that the market rewarded, since we do not believe that these companies have long-term performance potential.
Our relative performance was weakest in the financials and industrials sectors. Despite our significant relative underweight in the troubled financials sector, the portfolio performance was impaired by disappointing performance on the individual stock level. Top detractors included National Financial Partners Corporation (“NFP”), a distributor of life insurance products, and Protective Life Corporation, a life insurance company. In the industrials space, top detractors included Navios Maritime Holdings Inc., a global shipping company and Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc., a provider of air cargo services.
Although all the portfolio’s sectors declined over the period on an absolute basis, the portfolio outperformed the benchmark on a relative basis in the telecommunication services, consumer staples, and materials sectors. Telecommunications was the strongest relative contributing sector to return, primarily due to selection effects. Consumer staples, defensive by nature, proved to be a good sector bet. Holdings in Chiquita Brands International, Inc., a producer and distributor of fresh produce, contributed to the portfolio’s performance. Within materials, our decision to lean towards companies that are less sensitive to economic shifts, specifically into specialty chemical companies, benefited the portfolio.
As always, we will follow our research driven, bottom-up stock selection process in our pursuit of finding what, we believe, are good investment opportunities within the small- and mid-cap value universe. Accordingly, we will continue to search for companies across all market sectors that, in our view, offer strong earnings growth prospects, accomplished management teams and are trading at attractive valuations.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
The last twelve months has been a difficult period for equity investors. No region has been immune from the impact of the substantial tightening in credit conditions as a slew of prominent financial institutions in the United States and Europe have been either taken over, dismembered or re-capitalized. It is not the scale and extent of market falls that has been remarkable, given that the last twenty years has seen more isolated cases (Japan in 1990, Asia in 1997/98), but the central role of the two largest economic blocs in the world.
A sharp tightening of credit, acute risk aversion and the fast emerging economic implications have weighed on all equities, but all the more so upon smaller companies. They are widely perceived as being more economically sensitive (which is partly a function of the sectoral composition with a lower representation from defensive sectors such as health care, telecommunications and utilities), while the scale of declines has undoubtedly been exaggerated by lower liquidity, and the fact that many investors have been forced sellers whether through excessive leverage or redemption activity.
The weakest region over the period has been Pacific ex Japan, led by Korea where small-caps fell almost 70% in dollar terms. In contrast Japan proved the most defensive market thanks to a degree of isolation from the credit issues evident elsewhere, but still fell just over 35% in dollar terms.
PERFORMANCE
For the period from inception March 1, 2008 through October 31, 2008, Transamerica Schroders International Small Cap Class I returned (41.80)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the S&P/Citigroup EuroPacific Extended Market Index (“S&P/Citigroup EMI EPAC”), returned (44.48)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
In terms of the portfolio’s positioning, we retained an overweight exposure to smaller Asian markets. They have not been immune from global events, but share few of the credit excesses and low savings rates prevalent in many Western markets. Average interest rates in the Asian region have not yet fallen in tandem with US policy rates, but as commodity driven inflation recedes, we believe that interest rate policy and looser credit conditions will be very helpful for regional equity markets.
In contrast, we have been cautious on Japan. Japanese small-cap stocks have done relatively well in the fiscal period, but we find relatively limited stock opportunities. Defensive growth stocks look expensive, and the financial sector holds few attractions. There remain a number of niche specialist industrial and information technology stocks which comprise a significant portion of our exposure.
We have had a modest over-weight in the continental European markets. Growth has slowed markedly across the region, and while this represents a difficult back drop for corporate earnings, we have sought to identify stocks which can offer growth despite a worsening economic backdrop, with additions primarily in areas such as utilities, health care and consumer staples. In contrast we have remained cautious on the United Kingdom (“UK”). The economy enters the current downcycle structurally weak given a fast deflating real estate bubble, the highest household indebtedness of any major economy, and a lack of fiscal options. The outlook is very tough for smaller stocks exposed to consumer spending and residential property. Manufacturing and export companies will derive some benefit from a weaker sterling, but volumes will be constrained by the global slowdown.
Relative performance has been modestly positive since the inception of the portfolio. Our stock selection in smaller Asian markets has added value, as has selection in continental Europe particularly in the consumer cyclical, energy, health care and financial sectors. In contrast, selection in the UK has been disappointing, while the overweighting in Pacific ex Japan at the expense of Japan has also detracted from relative performance.

Transamerica Third Avenue Value
(unaudited)
MARKET ENVIRONMENT
The last twelve months ended October 31, 2008, were characterized by extreme volatility in financial markets, driven by panic and indiscriminate selling of securities around the globe. While shares of companies with weak financial positions are expected to decline in such markets, those of many well-capitalized, well-managed companies such as those in the portfolio are being punished unfairly. Although the portfolio was negatively impacted by the market turmoil, we believe that our holdings remain well-positioned for the long run.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Third Avenue Value Class I returned (39.75)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 3000® Value Index (“Russell 3000 Value”), returned (36.32)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
Third Avenue Management, LLC adheres to a benchmark agnostic approach and focuses solely on delivering absolute performance with limited investment risk over the long term. That said, the portfolio underperformed its benchmark during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. Given that a significant portion of the portfolio’s exposure is in international stocks (close to 50%), we thought it was more relevant to compare the portfolio’s performance to that of the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index (“MSCI World”), which unlike the domestic-only Russell 3000 Value, is also comprised of about 50% foreign stocks (as of 10/31/08). The portfolio outperformed the MSCI World during the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2008, as the index was down 41.85%.
The portfolio is not focused on sector or country allocation. That said, a key reason for deviating from the Russell 3000 Value is the portfolio’s exposure to Hong Kong, which was among the top detractors during the time period. The continued austerity measures implemented by the Chinese government to “cool down” the mainland property market have undoubtedly impacted a large number of the local developers, especially those who have not been able to obtain financing or have been forced to sell into a weak market. However, we believe our holdings, including Henderson Land Development Company Limited and Hutchison Whampoa Limited (which has a significant real estate presence) have the necessary financial strength to not only withstand the current turmoil, but to add property assets opportunistically during the recent pullback.
The portfolio was also negatively impacted by the ongoing credit crisis, which has weighed most heavily on financials and real estate-related names, both in the U.S. and abroad. This includes Brookfield Asset Management Inc. and Forest City Enterprises, Inc. While their shares have declined amid the weak macro environment, we believe these companies have attractive portfolios of assets, deep pipelines of development projects, solid balance sheets and shareholder-oriented management teams.
Another factor in the portfolio’s performance during the time period was a pullback in basic materials and commodity prices, which negatively impacted shares of Korean steel-maker POSCO, the portfolio’s key detractor during the period. We continue to like this global leader in the steel industry. We believe POSCO has the financial resources to not only withstand a difficult macro environment, but also to gain market share during challenging times.
On the positive side, there has been a huge flight to quality, over the last several months, into well-capitalized regional banks, such as Brookline Bancorp, Inc., given its low-cost, diversified capital base as a depository institution. As such, the company was the portfolio’s top stock specific contributor.
The macro environment has never influenced the process by which we select investments. As experienced investors, we have maintained a disciplined investment approach of identifying companies with solid financial positions and attractive growth potential, trading at significant discounts to net asset value. “Cheap” has never been a sufficient condition to make an investment. For us, investments need to be both deeply discounted and credit worthy. In fact, the current environment has emphasized even more the importance of investing in companies with strong balance sheets and those which do not need continuous access to the capital markets. We believe the market swoon has created a once-in-a-lifetime buying opportunity in the shares of such well-financed companies, and we believe, will prove to be historic value opportunities.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Since November 1, 2007, equity markets have been universally weak, with emerging markets reacting more violently than developed, largely due to the natural resource or export-dependent nature of many of these economies, and indigestion related to risk appetite. It is also worth noting that capital outflow has further exacerbated negative stock price performance. On a promising note, governments of the leading economies around the world are working to restore confidence in the global financial system. We are optimistic that these efforts will bear fruit, and that the actions taken thus far will work in the short term to restore stability to markets, and in the long run soften the economic adjustment that is essentially universal. At this time, we believe there is some indication of modest improvement in financial system liquidity. Although with less-than-perfect transparency and lack of detailed comprehension of a variety of financial assets and liabilities, confidence may be slow in returning to both the credit and stock markets.
PERFORMANCE
For the period from inception September 15, 2008 through October 31, 2008, Transamerica Thornburg International Value Class I returned (20.20)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World ex US Index (“MSCI ACWI”), returned (28.62)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
In this challenging environment, we are focused on executing the investment philosophy and approach that has proven successful for us in the past. However, past performance is no guarantee of future results. We continue to look for promising companies available at a discount to our estimate of their intrinsic value. The silver lining in the market anguish of the last year is that we have more opportunities. Stocks around the world are down sharply and valuations compare favorably with most historical measures. Our comprehensive value approach is intended to provide a portfolio with a spectrum of opportunities as well as a diversification of risks. In our consistent earners basket, we own business models that we believe will prove more resilient than average in a tough economic environment. The other two baskets, basic value and emerging franchises, represent sound, cash-generating companies that we believe will lead when global economies and markets eventually recover.
Detractors were broad based but, generally speaking, financial, commodity, and other economically sensitive issues performed poorly, especially late in the fiscal year. Additionally, Nokia Corporation, China Mobile Limited, Rogers Communications Inc. and Vodafone Group Plc were also among stocks negatively impacting performance. This was somewhat surprising to us given the historically defensive nature of the telecommunications business model. Less surprising was the negative contribution from emerging market-related holdings. Country Garden Holdings Company Limited, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, Sberbank, Shinhan Financial Group Co., Ltd. And OAO Gazprom were among the largest detractors.
Financial holdings Standard Chartered PLC and National Bank of Greece S.A., and United Kingdom (“UK”) retailers Marks & Spencer Group p.l.c. and LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA also contributed negatively. Essentially anything that touched the consumer, specifically in sensitive economies such as the UK, was penalized. In the cases where we believed there were company-specific fundamentals that could create headwinds to performance, holdings were either trimmed or eliminated during the year. Only one stock had positive performance for the period and that was Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc.
The present equity environment is very attractive for value-oriented, bottom-up, fundamental investors. We have been presented with the opportunity to make investments in companies that we believe have great promise at extraordinary discounts to their underlying value.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
The US economy contracted during the fourth quarter of 2007 with gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth (0.2)%. A variety of factors contributed to the economy’s weakness, including the faltering housing market and tepid consumer and business spending.
Amidst fears that the US economy was headed for a recession, defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth, GDP grew 0.9% and 2.8% during the first and second quarters of 2008, respectively. The accelerating economy was due in part to rising exports and buoyancy from the declining dollar, which made US goods more attractive overseas. However, GDP growth reversed in the third quarter of 2008. After a sharp decline in personal spending, an intensification of the credit crunch and ongoing housing market weakness, estimates for third quarter GDP growth sank to (0.3)%.
The reporting period was characterized by increased market volatility and, ultimately, a series of events that have been compared to the turmoil experienced during the Great Depression. During the twelve-month period, the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) was aggressive in attempting to stabilize the markets and keep the US economy from falling into a recession. For example, the Fed and central banks in other countries have pumped billions of dollars of liquidity into the financial system in an attempt to facilitate normal market operations.
This environment has resulted in historic levels of intervention by governments and central banks across the globe in an attempt to provide liquidity and alleviate the ongoing financial crisis. Yields fell significantly in short term government securities across the major government bond markets as heightened risk aversion led to a massive flight to quality. Declining yields, coupled with weakening news about the slowing global economy caused sovereign bond markets to advance during the quarter.
During the reporting period, Treasury yields ultimately moved lower and their prices moved higher given the Fed’s interest rate cuts and increased investor risk aversion. The overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) Aggregate Bond Index, returned 0.30%.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica UBS Dynamic Alpha Class I returned (11.55)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Consumer Price Index + 5%, returned 3.65%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
Market allocation has been the main driver of the underperformance for the reporting period. Long equity exposure in the US, United Kingdom (“UK”), and the Netherlands detracted from performance as the global equity markets have declined sharply this past year. The world has been in the midst of a financial crisis that turned very painful in September and October, causing a wave of risk aversion that led to brisk selling of risky assets. This negative performance was partially offset by our short positions to emerging and commodity-driven equity markets like Australia, Canada, and South Africa.
Security selection was a detractor for the reporting period. The US Large Cap Equity and Global Systematic Alpha components hurt performance. This was partially offset by positive performance from the US Large and Mid Cap Growth components.
Currency positioning was a strong contributor for the year. The largest contributors were short positions to the euro and the British pound. The euro and the British pound have weakened substantially versus the US dollar in recent months on the prospect of a deeper economic slowdown occurring outside the US.
Also, throughout the reporting period, our anti-carry trade positioning has benefited from decreasing investor risk appetite as equity markets have fallen. (A carry trade is a strategy in which an investor sells a certain currency with a relatively low interest rate and uses the funds to purchase a different currency yielding a higher interest rate.) In the last few months we have seen a rapid convergence of exchange rates towards what we consider to be fair value, which had an extremely favorable impact on performance. This positive performance was partially offset by our long position to the Swedish krona, which weakened during the year.

The US stock market, as measured by the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index (“S&P 500”), experienced periods of unnerving volatility during the reporting period. Fears of a recession, disappointing corporate earnings, record high oil prices and continued issues relating to the bursting of the housing bubble all helped to drag stocks down.
During the twelve-month period, the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) was aggressive in attempting to stabilize the markets and keep the US economy from falling into a recession. For example, the Fed and central banks in other countries have pumped billions of dollars of liquidity into the financial system in an attempt to facilitate normal market operations. Against this backdrop, historic levels of intervention by governments and central banks across the globe have been reached in an attempt to provide liquidity and alleviate the ongoing financial crisis.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica UBS Large Cap Value Class I returned (40.19)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, returned (36.80)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
The portfolio largely kept pace with its benchmark throughout the period. However, industry factors, including an underweight to the energy sector, hampered performance at times, as did stock selection, though to a lesser extent. Despite this, the exposures within the sectors are evolving as markets provide what we view as opportunities, such as increased exposure to oil refining and natural gas producers.
As some stocks within the financial sector sold off dramatically during the month of September 2008, we added incrementally to the financial sector exposure in the portfolio, which ultimately benefited performance. An overweight to railroads also benefited performance, as Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation, the portfolio’s sole position in this area, grew market share in a positive pricing environment, and this fundamental improvement was recognized by the market.
From a stock selection perspective, positions impacting performance included the following: Wells Fargo & Company contributed positively to performance during the period. Specifically, the company was upgraded as analysts believed the company was well capitalized to withstand the credit crisis. We slightly trimmed our position during the period, but continued to hold an overweight position; not owning shares of American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) contributed to relative performance during the period, as the insurer’s shares fell drastically. The decline was attributed mostly to the government’s organized rescue of AIG that saved the insurance company from collapsing in September by lending AIG $85 billion for two years in exchange for an 80% equity stake; Fifth Third Bancorp shares traded lower during the period as the housing and credit troubles began to affect regional banks, which weighed on performance. We have made some adjustments to our longer-term assumptions about the company, but it remains, in our view, an underpriced stock; and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) detracted from performance during the period. Shares of the company lost about half their value during the month of July 2008 as housing relief bill was drafted allowing the Treasury Department to temporarily extend an undetermined line of credit to Freddie Mac and the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”). We sold out of our position in Freddie Mac prior to the company being seized by the government and put into conservatorship on September 7, 2008, after which the company’s shares fell to nearly zero, losing 90% of its value over the third quarter.

During the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2008, emerging markets debt as measured by the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (“EMBI Global”) returned (19.14)%. Yield spreads on U.S. Dollar-denominated debt (a measure of investors’ risk appetite) ended the twelve-month period wider by 483 basis points at 684 basis points above U.S. Treasuries. Interest rates on short-dated U.S. Treasury bonds declined substantially during the period, as the Federal Reserve Board continued loosening monetary policy in the wake of slowing U.S. economic activity, continued mortgage credit concerns and inoperative inter-bank lending. Poor liquidity, forced selling by hedge funds and other investors, and unprecedented volatility affected several asset classes. Against this backdrop, it is of little surprise that investors decreased allocations to the emerging markets.
In this environment of panicked selling, it is worth noting that the current sell-off in emerging markets (“EM”) differs fundamentally from past crises. We believe public sector debt dynamics and financing needs in the majority of EM are not the culprits — it has been the deterioration of financial markets in the developed world that has placed pressure on emerging economies. We believe the impact will be felt on two fronts, with the impact of each varying by country. First, macroeconomic activity will slow across the emerging world due to the recent deterioration of economic performance in the developed world. Second, financial contagion and a potential disruption in capital flows represent an additional risk to EM economies. The vulnerability is more centered on the corporate sector, not the public sector. As always, this vulnerability is more pronounced in certain EM countries. Unlike previous periods of stress, today’s EM policymakers do have greater flexibility to provide support via fiscal and monetary policy and inject liquidity into their economies.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Van Kampen Emerging Markets Debt Class I returned (20.81)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the EMBI Global, returned (19.14)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
During the twelve-month period, the portfolio benefited from overweights to and security selection in Brazil, Mexico and Nigeria. By contrast, above-index exposure to Russia and security selection in Indonesia detracted from relative returns.
In Brazil, the portfolio’s positioning in intermediate bonds and below-index spread duration (a measure of risk exposure) was beneficial in an environment of spread widening. The same was true of Mexico, where below-index spread duration and exposure to domestic debt, which outperformed dollar bonds, also aided relative performance. In Nigeria, both currency and bond exposure helped relative returns. The Nigerian naira, in contrast to sizeable sell-offs in several other EM currencies, remained steadfast versus the U.S. dollar during the period. The portfolio’s positioning in very short-dated assets also insulated it from rising yields in Nigeria.
In Russia, sovereign and corporate assets suffered amid a military conflict with Georgia, the sudden stop of external financing for the local banking system and fears that the government would have to engineer a massive bailout of the banking system. Although it appears the lowest-quality companies are at risk of default, all Russian assets (sovereign and quasi-sovereign) suffered in an environment of forced liquidations and indiscriminate selling.

Transamerica Van Kampen Mid-Cap Growth
(unaudited)
MARKET ENVIRONMENT
In the twelve-month period, the condition of the U.S. economy and financial markets looked increasingly dire. Investor uncertainties over the credit crisis, the health of the financial sector and the weakening economy grew to a full panic by September 2008. Market volatility spiked and equities sold off dramatically as a number of large financial institutions in the U.S. and Europe were nationalized, forced to merge, or declared bankruptcy. Credit markets froze, with banks refusing to lend to one another and corporate borrowing drastically contracting. The federal government’s rescue bill (passed by Congress in early October) failed to soothe fearful investors or stabilize the credit markets by the end of the month. After rising to a new high in July, oil prices dropped on worries about the deteriorating global economy. Recession expectations increased in the U.S. as consumers and businesses were hurt by the still falling housing market, lack of access to credit, rising unemployment and high energy costs earlier in the year.
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended October 31, 2008, Transamerica Van Kampen Mid-Cap Growth Class I returned (43.99)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Growth Index (“Russell Midcap Growth”), returned (42.65)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
The investment team seeks high quality growth companies that have these attributes: sustainable competitive advantages, business visibility, rising return on invested capital, free cash flow and a favorable risk/reward. We look for these companies through intense fundamental research. Our emphasis is on secular growth, and as a result short-term market events are not as meaningful in the stock selection process.
The portfolio underperformed the Russell Midcap® Growth due to stock selection decisions and the resulting sector allocations. Although an underweight allocation in the technology sector was advantageous, it was more than offset by weak stock selection within the sector, particularly in miscellaneous technology, communications technology, and computer services software companies. Also detrimental to relative results were stock selection and an overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector. Within the sector, areas of particular weakness came from holdings in commercial services, retail, consumer products, and textiles apparel manufacturers. Stock selection in the materials and processing sector further held back relative gains. Individual holdings in real estate investment trusts, cement, and building materials were the main reasons for the underperformance in the sector.
However, the portfolio achieved better relative results elsewhere. While an underweight allocation in the health care sector modestly detracted at the sector level, stock selection within the sector had the largest positive effect on relative performance, especially in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology research and production, and medical systems companies. An overweight allocation in the integrated oils sector hurt relative performance, but the negative effect was more than offset by strong security selection within the sector. Additionally, stock selection in the other energy sector added to relative returns.
In our view, market volatility is far greater than fundamental business volatility. It is our goal to hold a portfolio of high quality growth stocks we believe will perform well regardless of the market environment. To that end, the investment team continues to focus on quality evaluating the nature and sustainability of a company’s competitive advantage and balance sheet strength. We continue to seek companies that have some uniqueness or dynamic competitive advantage in their business model, with a high quality stream of cash flow and earnings growth and the ability to redeploy capital at a high rate of return.
At the margin, we have eliminated names that are more cyclical or where we believe there are stronger long-term opportunities. We believe the portfolio is well positioned for when the market once again begins to differentiate on fundamentals.

Transamerica WMC Emerging Markets
(unaudited)
MARKET ENVIRONMENT
The global financial crisis, seizure in the credit markets, and economic downturn in the developed markets has spilled over into emerging markets. Economic growth rates are decelerating, and companies’ abilities to access the capital markets are extremely limited. While emerging market countries overall are better positioned than in past crises, they cannot escape the global market and growth downturn.
PERFORMANCE
For the period from inception September 30, 2008 through October 31, 2008, Transamerica WMC Emerging Markets Class I returned (23.40)%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index, returned (27.35)%.
STRATEGY REVIEW
Stock selection within the industrials, consumer discretionary, and utilities sectors contributed to solid relative performance during the one-month period. Top performers that benefited the portfolio include positions in Shangri-La Asia Limited, Teva Pharma, Truworths International Limited, Shanghai Electric Group Company Limited, and Soc Quimica y Minera. An overweight position in the defensive health care sector and an underweight position in the energy sector yielded positive results during the period. The portfolio also benefited from a modest cash position, which helped relative performance in a ownward-trending market.
Stock selection in the health care, energy, and telecommunication services sectors detracted from relative results. Positions in Cia de Minas Buenaventur, Impala Platinum, China Mobile Limited, Cosan Limited, and Votorantim Cel E Papel hurt relative performance. Underweight positions in the information technology (“IT”) and telecommunication services sectors negatively affected results.
Portfolio strategy emphasizes defensive domestically oriented names. We are using this period of turmoil to buy very high quality stocks at distressed valuations. As of October 31, 2008, we are overweight in the health care, consumer staples, and consumer discretionary sectors and underweight in the IT, industrials, and energy sectors. We also are limiting exposure to currencies of countries with weak national balance sheets either because of a large current account deficit or a large stock of short-term external debt. As a result, we have hedged part or all of our South Korean won, South African rand, Turkish lira, and Hungarian forint exposure.
We believe the recent coordinated moves by global central banks are positive steps toward addressing financial market dislocations. Our objective is to position the portfolio into those stocks and countries that will have strong businesses when operating conditions return.

Understanding Your Funds’ Expenses
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, dividend expense on short-sales, and other fund expenses.
The following Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Funds’ and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at May 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until October 31, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

# | | Aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes is $485,501. Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation/depreciation for all securities in which there is an excess of value over tax cost were $1,061 and $186,015, respectively. Net unrealized depreciation for tax purposes is $184,954. |
Security Valuation — If the market quotations are not readily available, or if the investment advisor determines that the quotation does not represent a fair value, then the security is valued at a fair value as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Fund has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in the foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in the value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which the Fund’s shares are valued. At 10/31/2008, the fair value pricing model was employed. The prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. In addition, fair values may not reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security at the time of pricing.

Security Valuation - If the market quotations are not readily available, or if the investment advisor determines that the quotation does not represent a fair value, then the security is valued at a fair value as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Fund has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in the foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in the value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which the Fund’s shares are valued. At 10/31/2008, the fair value pricing model was employed. The prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. In addition, fair values may not reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security at the time of pricing.

Security Valuation - If the market quotations are not readily available, or if the investment advisor determines that the quotation does not represent a fair value, then the security is valued at a fair value as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Fund has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in the foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in the value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which the Fund’s shares are valued. At 10/31/2008, the fair value pricing model was employed. The prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. In addition, fair values may not reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security at the time of pricing.

Security Valuation - If the market quotations are not readily available, or if the investment advisor determines that the quotation does not represent a fair value, then the security is valued at a fair value as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Fund has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in the foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in the value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which the Fund’s shares are valued. At 10/31/2008, the fair value pricing model was employed. The prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. In addition, fair values may not reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security at the time of pricing.

NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS:
| | |
‡ | | Non-income producing security. |
|
^ | | All or a portion of this security is on loan. The value of all securities on loan is $57,713. |
|
▲ | | Interest rate shown reflects the yield at 10/31/2008. |
|
● | | Repurchase agreement is collateralized by a U.S. Government Agency Obligation with an interest rate of 4.00%, a maturity date of 06/01/2014, and with a market value plus accrued interest of $29,864. |
|
◊ | | State Street Bank & Trust serves as the accounting, custody, and lending agent for the Fund and provides various services on behalf of the Fund. |
|
# | | Aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes is $471,884. Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation/depreciation for all securities in which there is an excess of value over tax cost were $3,609 and $137,084, respectively. Net unrealized depreciation for tax purposes is $133,475. |
Security Valuation - If the market quotations are not readily available, or if the investment advisor determines that the quotation does not represent a fair value, then the security is valued at a fair value as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Fund has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in the foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in the value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which the Fund’s shares are valued. At 10/31/2008, the fair value pricing model was employed. The prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. In addition, fair values may not reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security at the time of pricing.

Security Valuation - If the market quotations are not readily available, or if the investment advisor determines that the quotation does not represent a fair value, then the security is valued at a fair value as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Fund has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in the foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in the value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which the Fund’s shares are valued. At 10/31/2008, the fair value pricing model was employed. The prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. In addition, fair values may not reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security at the time of pricing.

Security Valuation - If the market quotations are not readily available, or if the investment advisor determines that the quotation does not represent a fair value, then the security is valued at a fair value as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Fund has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in the foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in the value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which the Fund’s shares are valued. At 10/31/2008, the fair value pricing model was employed. The prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. In addition, fair values may not reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security at the time of pricing.

‡ | | Non-income producing security. |
|
^ | | All or a portion of this security is on loan. The value of all securities on loan is $11,936. |
|
§ | | Illiquid. At 10/31/2008, these securities aggregated $886 or 0.82% of the Fund’s net assets. |
|
▲ | | Interest rate shown reflects the yield at 10/31/2008. |
|
◊ | | State Street Bank & Trust serves as the accounting, custody, and lending agent for the Fund and provides various services on behalf of the Fund. |
|
# | | Aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes is $188,266. Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation/depreciation for all securities in which there is an excess of value over tax cost were $1,019 and $68,822, respectively. Net unrealized depreciation for tax purposes is $67,803. |
Security Valuation - If the market quotations are not readily available, or if the investment advisor determines that the quotation does not represent a fair value, then the security is valued at a fair value as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Fund has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in the foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in the value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which the Fund’s shares are valued. At 10/31/2008, the fair value pricing model was employed. The prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. In addition, fair values may not reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security at the time of pricing.
DEFINITIONS:

Security Valuation - If the market quotations are not readily available, or if the investment advisor determines that the quotation does not represent a fair value, then the security is valued at a fair value as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Fund has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in the foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in the value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which the Fund’s shares are valued. At 10/31/2008, the fair value pricing model was employed. The prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. In addition, fair values may not reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security at the time of pricing.

Security Valuation - If the market quotations are not readily available, or if the investment advisor determines that the quotation does not represent a fair value, then the security is valued at a fair value as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Fund has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in the foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in the value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which the Fund’s shares are valued. At 10/31/2008, the fair value pricing model was employed. The prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. In addition, fair values may not reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security at the time of pricing.

Security Valuation - If the market quotations are not readily available, or if the investment advisor determines that the quotation does not represent a fair value, then the security is valued at a fair value as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Fund has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in the foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in the value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which the Fund’s shares are valued. At 10/31/2008, the fair value pricing model was employed. The prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. In addition, fair values may not reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security at the time of pricing.

Transamerica BlackRock Natural Resources, Transamerica JPMorgan International Bond, Transamerica Third Avenue Value, Transamerica UBS Dynamic Alpha, and Transamerica Van Kampen Emerging Markets Debt are “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act.
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
This report should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ current prospectuses, which contain more complete information about the Funds.
In preparing the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), estimates or assumptions (which could differ from actual results) may be used that affect reported amounts and disclosures. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
Class operations, income, and expenses: The Funds currently offer one class of shares, Class I shares, which are currently offered for investment primarily in certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class I shares are also made available to other investors, including institutional investors such as foreign insurers, domestic insurance companies, and their separate accounts, and eligible retirement plans whose record keepers or financial service firm intermediaries have entered into agreements with Transamerica Funds or its agents. Income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily, based upon the value of shares outstanding method as permitted under Rule 18f-3 of the 1940 Act.
Security valuations: The Funds value their investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund investments are valued at the last sale price or closing price on the day of valuation taken from the primary exchange where the security is principally traded.
Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the last quoted bid price.
Debt securities are valued based on a price quotation or other equivalent indication of value supplied by an exchange, a pricing service or a major market maker; however, those that mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market.
Foreign securities generally are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded. 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. If a significant market event impacting the value of a portfolio security (e.g., natural disaster, company announcement, market volatility) occurs subsequent to the close of trading in the security, but prior to the calculation of the Funds’ net asset value per share, market quotations for that security may be determined to be unreliable and, accordingly, not “readily available.” As a result, foreign equity securities held by the Funds may be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by Transamerica Asset Management, Inc.’s (“TAM”) Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees.
Other securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values have been determined to be unreliable are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by TAM’s Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued its new Standard No. 157, “Fair Value

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
At October 31, 2008
(all amounts in thousands)
NOTE 1. (continued)
Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 is designed to unify guidance for the measurement of fair value of all types of assets, including financial instruments, and certain liabilities, throughout a number of accounting standards. FAS 157 also establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements that are relevant to mutual funds. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and earlier application is permitted.
As of October 31, 2008, Management does not expect the adoption of FAS 157 to impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain of the measurements reported in the statement of operations for a fiscal period.
Short sales: Transamerica BNY Mellon Market Neutral Strategy and Transamerica UBS Dynamic Alpha may from time to time sell securities short. In the event that the sub-advisers anticipate that the price of securities will decline, they may sell the securities short and borrow the same securities from a broker or other institution to complete the sale. The Funds will incur a profit or a loss, depending upon whether the market price of the securities decreases or increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Funds must replace the borrowed securities. All short sales will be fully collateralized. Short sales represent an aggressive trading practice with a high risk/return potential, and short sales involve special considerations. Risks of short sales include that possible losses from short sales may be unlimited (e.g., if the price of stocks sold short rises), whereas losses from direct purchases of securities are limited to the total amount invested, and the Funds may be unable to replace borrowed securities sold short. Dividends paid by the issuers of the securities sold short are paid by the Funds to the lenders, recorded on the ex-date of the dividends and recorded as expenses on the Statements of Operations.
Cash overdraft: Throughout the year, the Funds may have a cash overdraft balances. A fee is incurred on these overdrafts, calculated by multiplying the overdrafts by a rate based on the federal funds rate.
Repurchase agreements: The Funds are authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Funds, through their custodian, State Street Bank & Trust Company (“State Street”), receive delivery of the underlying securities, the value of which at the time of purchase is required to be an amount equal to at least 100% of the resale price. The Funds will bear the risk of value fluctuations until the securities can be sold and may encounter delays and incur costs in liquidating the securities. In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the seller, delays and costs may be incurred.
Commission recapture: The sub-advisers of certain Funds, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, have elected to place security transactions of the Funds with broker/dealers with which Transamerica Funds 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 Funds. In no event will commissions paid by the Funds be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica Funds, or by any other party.
Recaptured commissions for the year ended October 31, 2008 are included in net realized gains in the Statements of Operations and are summarized as follows:
| | | | |
Fund | | Commissions | |
Transamerica Bjurman, Barry Micro Emerging Growth | | $ | 60 | |
Transamerica Evergreen International Small Cap | | | 22 | |
Transamerica Federated Market Opportunity | | | 22 | |
Transamerica JPMorgan Mid Cap Value | | | 15 | |
Transamerica Marsico International Growth | | | 16 | |
Transamerica Third Avenue Value | | | 28 | |
Transamerica UBS Dynamic Alpha | | | 10 | |
Transamerica UBS Large Cap Value | | | 117 | |
Transamerica Van Kampen Small Company Growth | | | 20 | |
Securities lending: The Funds may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with State Street acting as the Funds’ lending agent. The Funds earn negotiated lenders’ fees. The Funds receive cash and/or securities as collateral against the loaned securities. Cash collateral received is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Trust — Prime Portfolio. The Funds monitor the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at October 31, 2008 is shown in the Schedule of Investments and also in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Income from loaned securities on the Statements of Operations is net of fees earned by State Street for its services.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”): 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.
Dividend income is recorded at management’s estimate of the income 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.
Loan participations/ assignments: The Funds may purchase participations/ assignments in commercial loans. Such indebtedness may be secured or unsecured. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities that obligate the Funds to supply additional cash to the borrowers on demand. Loan participations/ assignments involve risks of insolvency of the lending banks or other financial intermediaries. As such, the Funds assume the credit risks associated with the corporate borrowers and may assume the credit risks associated with the interposed banks or other financial intermediaries. The Funds may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent banks and/or borrowers prior to the sale of these investments. Loan participations typically represent direct participation in loans to corporate borrowers, and generally are offered by banks or other financial institutions or lending syndicates. The Funds may participate in such syndications, or can buy a portion of the loans, becoming 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 banksare 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, under the terms of the loans or other indebtedness, the portfolios have direct recourse against the corporate borrowers, the Funds may have to rely on the agent banks or other financial intermediaries to apply appropriate credit remedies against corporate borrowers.
Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification basis. Dividend income, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend dates or, in the case of foreign securities, as soon as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend dates. Interest income, including accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis commencing on the settlement date.
Foreign currency denominated investments: The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate each day. The cost of foreign securities is translated at the exchange rate in effect when the investments were acquired. Each Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in value when computing net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.
Net foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include: 1) foreign currency fluctuations between trade date and settlement date of investment security transactions; 2) gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts; and 3) 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.
Foreign capital gains taxes: The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest, with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Funds accrue such taxes when the related income or capital gains are earned. 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 on foreign capital remittances abroad.
Forward foreign currency contracts: The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against exchange rate risk arising from investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies. Contracts are valued at the contractual forward rate and 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.
Open forward currency contracts at October 31, 2008 are listed in the Schedules of Investments.
Futures contracts: The Funds may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to market, interest rate or currency fluctuations. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held and the prices of futures contracts; the possibility of an illiquid market and inability of the counterparty to meet the contract terms.
The underlying face amounts of open futures contracts at October 31, 2008 are listed in the Schedules of Investments. The variation margin receivable or payable, as applicable, is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Variation margin represents the additional payment due or excess deposits made in order to maintain the equity account at the required margin level.
Option contracts: The Funds may enter into option contracts to manage exposure to market fluctuations. Options are valued at the average of the bid and ask (“Mean Quote”) established each day at the close of the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. 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. When a Fund writes a covered call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received by a Fund is included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. Options are marked-to-market daily to reflect the current value of the option written.
The underlying face amounts of open option contracts at October 31, 2008 are listed in the Schedules of Investments. Transactions in written options were as follows:

Swap agreements: The Funds may enter into swap agreements to manage their exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements are between two counterparties where one stream of future interest payments is exchanged for another based on a notional amount. Interest rate swaps often exchange a fixed payment for a floating payment that is linked to an interest rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The portfolios may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the portfolios owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Entering into these agreements involves elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are amortized over the term of the swap agreement. 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 are included as part of realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations.
Open swaps agreements at October 31, 2008 are listed in the Schedules of Investments.
Dividend distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend dates and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.

Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in Class A shares of any series of Transamerica Funds or investment options under Transamerica Partners Funds Group II, or funds of Transamerica Investors, Inc. The right of a participant to receive a distribution from the Plan of the deferred fees is an unsecured claim against the general assets of all series of Transamerica Funds. The pro rata liability to the Funds of all deferred fees in the Plan as of October 31, 2008, amounted to the following:
| | | | |
Fund | | Deferred Fees | |

Retirement plan: Under a prior retirement plan (the “Emeritus Plan”) available to the Independent Trustees, each Independent Trustee is deemed to have elected to serve as Trustee Emeritus of Transamerica Funds upon his or her termination of service, other than removal for cause, for a maximum period of five years determined by his or her years of service as a Trustee.
Such amounts shall be accrued by Transamerica Funds on a pro rata basis allocable to each Transamerica Fund based on the relative assets of the Fund. If retainers increase in the future, past accruals (and credits) will be adjusted upwards so that 50% of the Trustee’s current retainer is accrued and credited at all times. Upon death, disability or termination of service, other than removal for cause, amounts deferred become payable to an Emeritus Trustee (or his/her beneficiary). Upon the commencement of service as Trustee Emeritus, compensation will be paid on a quarterly basis during the time period that the Trustee Emeritus is allowed to serve as such.
At October 31, 2008, the Fund’s Liability related to the Emeritus Plan were as follows:
| | | | |
| | Emeritus | |

The Emeritus Plan was terminated effective October 30, 2007. Upon the termination, the Funds shall continue to pay any remaining benefits in accordance with the Plan, but no further compensation shall accrue under the Plan.

NOTE 4. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Funds have not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to their policy to distribute all of their taxable income and capital gains to their shareholders and otherwise qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Management has evaluated the Funds tax provisions taken for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds financial statements. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatment for items including, but not limited to, wash sales, structured notes, foreign bonds, swaps, net operating losses, distribution reclasses REITS, PFICS, foreign currency transactions, and capital loss carryforwards.
Therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences. These reclassifications are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | Undistributed | |
| | Shares of | | | | | | | (accumulated) | |
| | beneficial | | | | | | | net realized | |

NOTE 5. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2008, the FASB issued its new Standard No. 161, “Disclosure About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about a Fund’s derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

TRANSAMERICA THORNBURG INTERNATIONAL VALUE
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
(unaudited)
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees Transamerica Funds held on May 15, 2008, in approving a mandate to establish Transamerica Thornburg International Value of as a new series of Transamerica Funds, the Board reviewed and considered the proposed investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) between Transamerica Thornburg International Value (the “Fund”) and Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), as well as the proposed investment sub-advisory agreement of the Fund between TAM and Thornburg Investment Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), to determine whether the agreements should be approved for an initial two-year period.
Following their review and consideration at this meeting, the Trustees determined that the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, fair, and in the best interests of its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board, unanimously approved the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Board requested and obtained from TAM and the investment Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements, including, when applicable, information about fees and performance of comparable funds managed by the Sub-Adviser. In considering the proposed approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board Members evaluated a number of considerations that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by Fund counsel and independent legal counsel and their own business judgment, to be relevant. They based their decisions on a variety of factors, including the following considerations, among others, although they did not identify any consideration or particular information that was controlling of their decisions:
The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services expected to be provided by TAM and the Sub-Adviser. They concluded that TAM and the Sub-Adviser are capable of providing high quality services to the Fund, as indicated by the nature and quality of services provided in the past by TAM for other series within the fund complex and the Sub-Adviser’s management capabilities demonstrated with respect to other funds they manage and the experience, capability and integrity of TAM’s senior management, the financial resources of TAM and the Sub-Adviser, TAM’s management oversight process and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management team (the Board reviewed carefully the qualifications of the prospective manager for the Fund). The Board Members determined that TAM and the Sub-Adviser can provide investment and related services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund’s operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs.
The investment performance of the Fund. The Fund was not yet in existence and therefore had no historical performance for the Board to review at this time. However, the Board examined the performance of funds or other accounts managed by the Sub-Adviser of the Fund with investment objectives and strategies comparable to those of the Fund. The Board Members noted that those and other funds managed by the Sub-Adviser have generally performed well and have generated investor interest. On the basis of the Board Members’ assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TAM and the Sub-Adviser, the Board Members concluded that TAM and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s proposed investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with other similarly situated investment companies, and also determined that TAM’s and the Sub-Adviser’s performance record for other funds (or accounts) indicate that their management of the Fund is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.
The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Fund is not yet in existence and therefore no revenue, cost or profitability data is available for the Board to review. However, the Board reviewed projected profitability information regarding TAM’s costs of procuring portfolio management services as well as the costs of providing administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services to the Fund and other funds within the fund complex. Based on such information and the proposed management and sub-advisory fees for the Fund, the Board Members determined that while the proposed management fees of the Fund started out above the median relative to peers, they were expected to be at median as a result of breakpoints with the addition of assets after the initial funds, and are appropriate in light of the services expected to be provided or procured, the management fees and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TAM and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser. The Board also took note of the costs involved in establishing a new fund and acknowledged that the Fund is being added as an investment option for the Asset Allocation funds only and that these funds’ assets will flow into the Fund. In making these observations and determinations, the Board reviewed, among other things, comparative information provided by Lipper, Inc. and Strategic Insight Simfund.
Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. In evaluating the extent to which the management fees payable under the new Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement reflect economies of scale or will permit economies of scale to be realized in the future, the Board took note of TAM’s pricing strategy and the proposed advisory fee breakpoints, where applicable and as detailed in the materials provided, and noted each fee breakpoint with respect to the various asset levels to be achieved by the Fund. The Board concluded that the proposed fees, and breakpoints (when applicable), should appropriately benefit investors by permitting economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows for the Fund. The Board also concluded that the Fund’s management fees appropriately reflect the Fund’s anticipated size, the current economic environment for TAM, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TAM’s pricing strategy. The Board also noted that, in the future, it would have the opportunity to periodically re-examine whether the Fund has achieved economies of scale and the appropriateness of management fees payable to TAM and fees payable by TAM to the Sub-Adviser.
Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TAM, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits anticipated to be derived by TAM, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationships with the Fund, including “soft dollar” benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions are expected to be consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Board Members noted that TAM would not realize soft dollar benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and that the Sub-Adviser had represented that it would engage in soft dollar arrangements consistent with applicable law and “best execution” requirements. It was also noted that the Sub-Adviser would be asked to participate in a brokerage commissions recapture program, which would limit the amount of soft dollar benefits which a sub-adviser may realize.
Other considerations. The Board considered the investment objective of the Fund and its investment strategy and determined that the Fund would enhance the investment options for the Asset Allocation funds. The Board noted that other asset allocation series of Transamerica Funds have generated considerable investor interest. The Board determined 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 the Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board Members favorably considered the procedures and policies in place by TAM to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Board Members also determined that TAM has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TAM’s expense limitation and fee waiver arrangements with the Fund which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders. In approving the Fund, the Board also considered the high quality of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management personnel who will manage the Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and their overall portfolio management capabilities. The Board determined that they, too, have made substantial commitments to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintain the financial and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage the Fund.

TRANSAMERICA WMC EMERGING MARKETS
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
(unaudited)
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica Funds held on May 15, 2008; in approving a mandate to establish Transamerica WMC Emerging Markets as a new series of Transamerica Funds, the Board reviewed and considered the proposed investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) between Transamerica WMC Emerging Markets (the “Fund”) and Transamerica Asset Management, Inc.
