An important vote is underway involving certain Transamerica Partners funds.You are receiving this email because your Transamerica IRA is invested in one or more of these funds.

You should have received two or more proxy mailings asking you to vote on proposals involving the reorganization of the Transamerica Partners funds into corresponding Transamerica Funds, a separate group of mutual funds also managed by Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”).
Why your vote is important
The Board of Trustees of your Transamerica Partners fund unanimously approved your fund’s reorganization, and recommends that you vote “FOR” the proxy proposal.

TAM believes investors could benefit from the fund groups being combined and consolidated.
