Contractual arrangements have been made with the fund’s investment manager, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), through March 1, 2025 to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses to the extent that total annual fund operating expenses exceed 0.55% for Class R6 shares, 1.20% for Class R1 shares and 0.95% for Class R3 shares, excluding, as applicable, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on securities sold short, extraordinary expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business. These arrangements cannot be terminated prior to March 1, 2025 without the Board of Trustees’ consent. TAM is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class during any of the 36 months from the date on which TAM waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the class if the class’ total annual fund operating expenses have fallen to a level below the limits described above. In no case will TAM recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the fund, in the class’ total annual operating expenses exceeding the applicable limits described above or any other lower limit then in effect.
Example: This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Only the 1 year dollar amount shown below reflects TAM's agreement to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover: The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate for the fund was 7% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies: The fund is a fund of funds it invests in a combination of actively managed Transamerica funds (“funds”) and index-based exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) managed by unaffiliated investment advisers.
The fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing normally in a combination of underlying funds and ETFs representing a variety of broad asset classes – including fixed-income, domestic equity, foreign equity, and real estate – and investment styles and focuses. Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may include funds that invest primarily in investment grade fixed-income securities, TIPS, or in high yield, high risk fixed-income securities rated below investment grade (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may invest in U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including corporate, mortgage- and asset-backed, government and emerging markets debt securities. Underlying equity funds and ETFs may include, but are not limited to, large cap funds, mid cap funds, small cap funds, growth-oriented funds, value-oriented funds, international equity funds, emerging market equity funds, real return funds and funds that invest in real estate-related securities, including REITs. The fund may also invest in inflation-hedging positions that fall under the broader asset categories listed above.
The fund is designed for investors who have reached retirement and generally seeks to maintain a static target allocation (the “Target Allocation”) to asset classes. The fund’s sub-adviser, Wilshire Advisors LLC (the “sub-adviser” or “Wilshire”), may periodically adjust target asset class allocations in accordance with its investment process and, in the view of Wilshire, to appropriately position the fund in response to changing market environments. However,
1

Wilshire may tactically over-weight or underweight asset classes at any time. This means at any time the fund’s asset mix may differ from the Target Allocation.
The fund’s current Target Allocation for domestic equity, foreign equity, fixed-income, and real estate is shown in the table below.

The Target Allocation is a “neutral” allocation, which does not reflect tactical decisions made by Wilshire to overweight or underweight a particular asset class. From time to time, Wilshire may make tactical increases or decreases to the fund’s investment in a particular asset class beyond the Target Allocation, based on a broad range of market and economic trends and quantitative factors. Wilshire may also allow the relative weightings of the fund’s investments in asset classes to vary from its Target Allocation in response to the markets. When varying exposures among underlying funds and/or ETFs, Wilshire will examine, among other things, relative values and prospects among the underlying funds and/or ETFs asset classes, as well as the capacity of the underlying funds and/or ETFs to absorb additional cash flow.
Ordinarily, the fund’s investment in fixed-income, domestic equity, foreign equity, and real estate is not expected to vary from the Target Allocation for that asset class by more than plus/minus 10%. Beyond that range, Wilshire will generally rebalance the fund.
It is not possible to predict the extent to which the fund will be invested in a particular underlying fund or ETF at any time. The fund may be a significant shareholder in certain underlying funds or ETFs.
Each underlying fund and ETF has its own investment objective, principal investment strategies and investment risks. The sub-adviser for each underlying fund and adviser or sub-adviser for each underlying ETF decides which securities to purchase and sell for that underlying fund or ETF. The fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds and ETFs.
The “Underlying Funds” section of the prospectus lists the underlying Transamerica Funds currently available for investment by the fund, provides a summary of their respective investment objectives and principal investment strategies, and identifies certain risks of those funds.
The investment manager may change the available underlying Transamerica Funds, and the sub-adviser may change the fund’s asset allocations and underlying funds and ETFs, at any time without notice to shareholders and without shareholder approval.
Principal Risks: Risk is inherent in all investing. Many factors and risks affect the fund's performance, including those described below. The value of your investment in the fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly day to day and over time. You may lose part or all of your investment in the fund or your investment may not perform
as well as other similar investments. In addition, you may experience losses near, at or after the target date. You should not rely solely on the target date when choosing to invest in the fund or deciding to remain invested in the fund. You should consider the fund’s investment strategies over the whole life of the fund. Unlike many other target retirement date funds, the fund may not follow the Target Allocation indicated by the glide path. There is no assurance that the fund will provide sufficient retirement income at and after the target date. The fund, through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs, is subject to the risks of the underlying funds and ETFs. The following is a summary description of principal risks (in alphabetical order after certain key risks) of investing in the fund (either directly and/or through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs). Each risk described below may not apply to each underlying fund or ETF and an underlying fund or ETF may be subject to additional or different risks than those described below. An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.You may lose money if you invest in this fund.
Market – The market prices of the fund’s securities or other assets may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, inflation, changes in interest rates, governmental actions or interventions, actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve or foreign central banks, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes or other factors, political developments, investor sentiment, the global and domestic effects of a pandemic, and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. If the market prices of the fund’s securities and assets fall, the value of your investment will go down.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, public health events (such as the spread of infectious disease), wars, terrorism, cybersecurity events, technology and data interruptions, natural disasters, and other circumstances in one or more countries or regions could be highly disruptive to, and have profound impacts on, global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments may go down.
The pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in extreme volatility in the financial markets, a domestic and global economic downturn, severe losses, particularly to some sectors of the economy and individual issuers, and reduced liquidity of many instruments. There also have been significant disruptions to business operations, including business closures; strained healthcare systems; disruptions to supply chains and employee availability; large fluctuations in consumer demand; and widespread uncertainty regarding the duration and long-term effects of the pandemic. The domestic and global economic downturn may be prolonged. The pandemic may result in domestic and foreign political and social instability,
2

damage to diplomatic and international trade relations, and continued volatility and/or decreased liquidity in the securities markets. Developing or emerging market countries may be more impacted by the pandemic.
The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve, as well as certain foreign governments and central banks, have taken extraordinary actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including by pushing interest rates to very low levels. This and other government intervention into the economy and financial markets to address the pandemic may not work as intended, particularly if the efforts are perceived by investors as being unlikely to achieve the desired results. Government actions to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic have resulted in large expansion of government deficits and debt, the long-term consequences of which are not known. Rates of inflation have recently risen, which could adversely affect economies and markets.
The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to adversely affect the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments, impair the fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the fund’s performance. In addition, the pandemic, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the fund by its service providers.
Underlying Exchange-Traded Funds – To the extent the fund invests its assets in underlying ETFs, its ability to achieve its investment objective will depend in part on the performance of the underlying ETFs in which it invests. Investing in underlying ETFs subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those ETFs. Each of the underlying ETFs in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying ETFs’ shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying ETF will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying ETFs in which it invests.
Underlying Funds Because the fund invests its assets in various underlying funds, its ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds in which it invests. Investing in underlying funds subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those underlying funds. Each of the underlying funds in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying funds' shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying fund will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. The “List and Description of Certain Underlying Funds” section of the fund's prospectus identifies certain risks of each underlying fund.
Asset Allocation – The fund’s investment performance is significantly impacted by the fund’s asset allocation and reallocation from time to time. The sub-adviser's decisions whether and when to tactically overweight or underweight asset classes and select a mix of underlying funds may not produce the desired results. These actions may be unsuccessful in maximizing return and/or avoiding investment losses. The value of your investment
may decrease if the sub-adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular asset class, investment style, technique or strategy, underlying fund or other issuer is incorrect. The sub-adviser may favor an asset class that performs poorly relative to other asset classes. The available underlying funds selected by the sub-adviser may underperform the market or similar funds.
Fixed-Income Securities – Risks of fixed-income securities include credit risk, interest rate risk, counterparty risk, prepayment risk, extension risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk. The value of fixed-income securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, tariffs and trade disruptions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In addition, the value of a fixed-income security may decline if the issuer or other obligor of the security fails to pay principal and/or interest, otherwise defaults or has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines. If the value of fixed-income securities owned by the fund falls, the value of your investment will go down. The fund may lose its entire investment in the fixed-income securities of an issuer.
Inflation – The value of assets or income from investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the fund’s assets can decline as can the value of the fund’s distributions.
Equity Securities – Equity securities generally have greater risk of loss than debt securities. Stock markets are volatile and the value of equity securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of equity securities fluctuates based on real or perceived changes in a company’s financial condition, factors affecting a particular industry or industries, and overall market, economic and political conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the fund fall, the value of your investment in the fund will decline. The fund may lose its entire investment in the equity securities of an issuer. A change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer may adversely impact securities markets as a whole.
Management – The value of your investment may go down if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's judgments and decisions are incorrect or otherwise do not produce the desired results, or if the investment strategy does not work as intended. You may also suffer losses if there are imperfections, errors or limitations in the quantitative, analytic or other tools, resources, information and data used, investment techniques applied, or the analyses employed or relied on, by the investment manageror sub-adviser, if such tools, resources, information or data are used incorrectly or otherwise do not work as intended, or if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's investment style is out of favor or otherwise fails to produce the desired results. Any of these things could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.
Counterparty – The fund could lose money if the counterparties to derivatives, repurchase agreements and other financial contracts entered into for the fund do not fulfill their contractual obligations. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against a counterparty.
3

Credit – If an issuer or other obligor (such as a party providing insurance or other credit enhancement) of a security held by the fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the fund is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations, or is downgraded or perceived to be less creditworthy (whether by market participants or otherwise), or if the value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. A decline may be significant, particularly in certain market environments. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against an issuer, obligor or counterparty.
Currency – The value of a fund’s investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increases or decreases as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by currency risk. Currency exchange rates can be volatile and may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could reduce or eliminate investment gains or add to investment losses. A fund may be unable or may choose not to hedge its foreign currency exposure.
Derivatives – The use of derivatives involves a variety of risks, which may be different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Risks of derivatives include leverage risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, market risk, counterparty risk, credit risk, operational risk and legal risk. Use of derivatives can increase fund losses, increase costs, reduce opportunities for gains, increase fund volatility, and not produce the result intended. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. Even a small investment in derivatives can have a disproportionate impact on the fund. Derivatives may be difficult or impossible to sell, unwind or value, and the counterparty (including, if applicable, the fund’s clearing broker, the derivatives exchange or the clearinghouse) may default on its obligations to the fund. In certain cases, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against or closing out derivatives instruments with a counterparty, which may result in additional losses. Derivatives are also generally subject to the risks applicable to the assets, rates, indices or other indicators underlying the derivative, including market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, management and valuation risk. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances or at reasonable prices. The value of a derivative may fluctuate more or less than, or otherwise not correlate well with, the underlying assets, rates, indices or other indicators to which it relates. The fund may, under the current asset segregation and coverage regulatory framework, be required to segregate or earmark liquid assets or otherwise cover its obligations under derivatives transactions and may have to liquidate positions before it is desirable in order to meet these segregation and coverage requirements. The SEC has adopted new Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for the use of derivatives by registered investment companies and set limits on a fund’s investments in derivatives. Compliance with Rule 18f-4 is not required until August 2022, but the rule may impact the fund’s use of derivatives before that date. Rule 18f-4 could have an adverse impact on the fund’s performance and its ability to implement its investment strategies as it has historically.
Emerging Markets – Investments in securities of issuers located or doing business in emerging markets are subject to heightened foreign investments risks and may experience rapid and extreme changes in value. Emerging market countries tend to have less developed and less stable economic, political and legal systems and regulatory and accounting standards, may have policies that restrict investment by foreigners or that prevent foreign investors such as the fund from withdrawing their money at will, and are more likely to experience nationalization, expropriation and confiscatory taxation. In addition, emerging market securities may have low trading volumes and may be or become illiquid.
Extension – When interest rates rise, repayments of fixed-income securities, including asset- and mortgage-backed securities, may occur more slowly than anticipated, causing their market prices to decline.
Focused Investing – To the extent the fund invests in a limited number of countries, regions, sectors, industries or market segments, in a limited number of issuers, or in issuers in related businesses or that are subject to related operating risks, the fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those countries, regions, sectors, industries, segments or issuers, and the value of its shares may be more volatile than if it invested more widely.
Foreign Investments – Investing in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involves additional risks. Foreign markets can be less liquid, less regulated, less transparent and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the fund’s foreign investments may decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of government or central bank support, tariffs and trade disruptions, sanctions, political or financial instability, social unrest or other adverse economic or political developments. Foreign investments may also be subject to different accounting practices and different regulatory, legal, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping standards and practices, and may be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers.
Growth Stocks – Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with returns on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks typically are particularly sensitive to market movements and may involve larger price swings because their market prices tend to reflect future expectations. When it appears those expectations may not be met, the prices of growth securities typically fall. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.
High-Yield Debt Securities – High-yield debt securities, commonly referred to as “junk” bonds, are securities that are rated below “investment grade” or are of comparable quality. Changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers, the creditworthiness of the issuers and negative perceptions of the junk bond market generally may significantly affect the value of these bonds. Junk bonds are considered speculative, tend to be volatile, typically have a higher risk of default, tend to be less liquid and more difficult to value than higher grade securities, and may result in losses for the fund.
4

Inflation-Protected Securities – Inflation-protected debt securities may react differently from other types of debt securities and tend to react to changes in “real” interest rates, which represent nominal (stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In general, the price of an inflation-protected debt security can fall when real interest rates rise, and can rise when real interest rates fall. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable and will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation.
Interest Rate – Interest rates in the U.S. and certain foreign markets have been low relative to historic levels. The fund faces a risk that interest rates may rise. The value of fixed-income securities generally goes down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. Changes in interest rates also may affect the liquidity of the fund’s investments. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to sell fixed-income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities generally and could also result in increased redemptions from the fund. Increased redemptions could cause the fund to sell securities at inopportune times or depressed prices and result in further losses.
Large Capitalization Companies – The fund’s investments in larger, more established companies may underperform other segments of the market because they may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
Leveraging – To the extent that the fund borrows or uses derivatives or other investments, such as ETFs, that have embedded leverage, your investment may be subject to heightened volatility, risk of loss and costs. Other risks also will be compounded because leverage generally magnifies the effect of a change in the value of an asset and creates a risk of loss of value on a larger pool of assets than the fund would otherwise have. Use of leverage may result in the loss of a substantial amount, and possibly all, of the fund’s assets. The fund also may have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation, coverage or margin requirements.
Liquidity – The fund may make investments that are illiquid or that become illiquid after purchase. Illiquid investments can be difficult to value, may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid investments, and may be subject to wide fluctuations in value. If the fund is forced to sell an illiquid investment to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the fund may be forced to sell at a substantial loss or may not be able to sell at all. Liquidity of particular investments, or even entire asset classes, including U.S. Treasury securities, can deteriorate rapidly, particularly during times of market turmoil, and those investments may be difficult or impossible for the fund to sell. This may prevent the fund from limiting losses.
Mortgage-Related and Asset-Backed Securities – The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid, which could negatively impact
the fund. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property. Asset-backed securities represent participations in, or are secured by and payable from, assets such as installment sales or loan contracts, leases, credit card receivables and other categories of receivables. The value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be affected by changes in credit quality or value of the mortgage loans or other assets that support the securities. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment or call and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets.
Prepayment or Call – Many issuers have a right to prepay their fixed-income securities. If this happens, the fund will not benefit from the rise in the market price of the securities that normally accompanies a decline in interest rates and may be forced to reinvest the prepayment proceeds in securities with lower yields.
Real Estate Securities – Investments in the real estate industry are subject to risks associated with direct investment in real estate. These risks include declines in the value of real estate, adverse general and local economic conditions, increased competition, overbuilding and changes in laws and regulations affecting real estate, operating expenses, property taxes and interest rates. If the fund’s real estate-related investments are concentrated in one geographic area or one property type, the fund will also be subject to the risks associated with that one area or property type. The value of the fund’s real estate-related securities will not necessarily track the value of the underlying investments of the issuers of such securities.
REITs – Investing in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) involves unique risks. When the fund invests in REITs, it is subject to risks generally associated with investing in real estate. A REIT’s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns, how well it manages those properties and cash flow. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, may engage in dilutive offerings, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. In addition to its own expenses, the fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management and other expenses paid by REITs in which it invests. U.S. REITs are subject to a number of highly technical tax-related rules and requirements; and a U.S. REIT’s failure to qualify for the favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment generally available to U.S. REITs could result in corporate-level taxation, significantly reducing the return on an investment to the fund.
Small and Medium Capitalization Companies – The fund will be exposed to additional risks as a result of its investments in the securities of small or medium capitalization companies. Small or medium capitalization companies may be more at risk than large capitalization companies because, among other things, they may have limited product lines, operating history, market or financial resources, or because they may depend on a limited management group. Securities of small and medium capitalization companies may be more volatile than and may underperform large capitalization companies, may be harder to sell at times and at prices the portfolio managers believe appropriate and may offer greater potential for losses.
5

Valuation – The sales price the fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the fund's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets, that are priced based upon valuations provided by third party pricing services that use matrix or evaluated pricing systems, or that are valued using a fair value methodology. These differences may increase significantly and affect fund investments more broadly during periods of market volatility. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the fund had not fair-valued securities or had used a different valuation methodology. The fund’s ability to value its investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third party service providers.
Value Investing – The prices of securities the sub-adviser believes are undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated or may go down. The value approach to investing involves the risk that stocks may remain undervalued, undervaluation may become more severe, or perceived undervaluation may actually represent intrinsic value. Value stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “growth” stocks.
Performance: The bar chart and the table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The bar chart shows how the fund’s performance has varied from year to year. The table shows how the fund’s average annual total returns for different periods compare to the returns of a broad measure of market performance.
Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would be lower.
As with all mutual funds, past performance (before and after taxes) is not a prediction of future results. Updated performance information is available on our website at www.transamerica.com/investments-fund-center or by calling 1-888-233-4339.
Prior to December 6, 2021, the fund had a different sub-adviser and used different investment strategies. The performance set forth prior to that date is attributable to that previous sub-adviser.

1 Effective December 6, 2021, the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index became the fund’s primary benchmark. Prior to December 6, 2021, the fund’s primary benchmark was the Dow Jones Target 2015 Index. The change to the primary benchmark was made to more accurately reflect the principal investment strategies of the fund.
The after-tax returns are calculated using the historic highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns may depend on the investor’s individual tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns may not be relevant if the investment is made through a tax-exempt or tax-deferred account, such as a 401(k) plan.

After-tax returns are presented for only one class, and returns for other classes are presented before taxes only and will vary.

Contractual arrangements have been made with the fund’s investment manager, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), through March 1, 2025 to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses to the extent that total annual fund operating expenses exceed 0.55% for Class R6 shares, 1.20% for Class R1 shares and 0.95% for Class R3 shares, excluding, as applicable, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on securities sold short, extraordinary expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business. These arrangements cannot be terminated prior to March 1, 2025 without the Board of Trustees’ consent. TAM is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class during any of the 36 months from the date on which TAM waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the class if the class’ total annual fund operating expenses have fallen to a level below the limits described above. In no case will TAM recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the fund, in the class’ total annual operating expenses exceeding the applicable limits described above or any other lower limit then in effect.
Example: This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Only the 1 year dollar amount shown below reflects TAM's agreement to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover: The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate for the fund was 11% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies: The fund is a fund of funds it invests in a combination of actively managed Transamerica funds (“funds”) and index-based exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) managed by unaffiliated investment advisers.
The fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing normally in a combination of underlying funds and ETFs representing a variety of broad asset classes – including fixed-income, domestic equity, foreign equity, and real estate – and investment styles and focuses. Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may include funds that invest primarily in investment grade fixed-income securities, TIPS, or in high yield, high risk fixed-income securities rated below investment grade (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may invest in U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including corporate, mortgage- and asset-backed, government and emerging markets debt securities. Underlying equity funds and ETFs may include, but are not limited to, large cap funds, mid cap funds, small cap funds, growth-oriented funds, value-oriented funds, international equity funds, emerging market equity funds, real return funds and funds that invest in real estate-related securities, including REITs. The fund may also invest in inflation-hedging positions that fall under the broader asset categories listed above.
The fund is designed for investors who have reached retirement and generally seeks to maintain a static target allocation (the “Target Allocation”) to asset classes. The fund’s sub-adviser, Wilshire Advisors LLC (the “sub-adviser” or “Wilshire”), may periodically adjust target asset class allocations in accordance with its investment process and, in the view of Wilshire, to appropriately position the fund in response to changing market environments. However,
8

Wilshire may tactically over-weight or underweight asset classes at any time. This means at any time the fund’s asset mix may differ from the Target Allocation.
The fund’s current Target Allocation for domestic equity, foreign equity, fixed-income, and real estate is shown in the table below.

The Target Allocation is a “neutral” allocation, which does not reflect tactical decisions made by Wilshire to overweight or underweight a particular asset class. From time to time, Wilshire may make tactical increases or decreases to the fund’s investment in a particular asset class beyond the Target Allocation, based on a broad range of market and economic trends and quantitative factors. Wilshire may also allow the relative weightings of the fund’s investments in asset classes to vary from its Target Allocation in response to the markets. When varying exposures among underlying funds and/or ETFs, Wilshire will examine, among other things, relative values and prospects among the underlying funds and/or ETFs asset classes, as well as the capacity of the underlying funds and/or ETFs to absorb additional cash flow.
Ordinarily, the fund’s investment in fixed-income, domestic equity, foreign equity, and real estate is not expected to vary from the Target Allocation for that asset class by more than plus/minus 10%. Beyond that range, Wilshire will generally rebalance the fund.
It is not possible to predict the extent to which the fund will be invested in a particular underlying fund or ETF at any time. The fund may be a significant shareholder in certain underlying funds or ETFs.
Each underlying fund and ETF has its own investment objective, principal investment strategies and investment risks. The sub-adviser for each underlying fund and adviser or sub-adviser for each underlying ETF decides which securities to purchase and sell for that underlying fund or ETF. The fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds and ETFs.
The “Underlying Funds” section of the prospectus lists the underlying Transamerica Funds currently available for investment by the fund, provides a summary of their respective investment objectives and principal investment strategies, and identifies certain risks of those funds.
The investment manager may change the available underlying Transamerica Funds, and the sub-adviser may change the fund’s asset allocations and underlying funds and ETFs, at any time without notice to shareholders and without shareholder approval.
Principal Risks: Risk is inherent in all investing. Many factors and risks affect the fund's performance, including those described below. The value of your investment in the fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly day to day and over time. You may lose part or all of your investment in the fund or your investment may not perform
as well as other similar investments. In addition, you may experience losses near, at or after the target date. You should not rely solely on the target date when choosing to invest in the fund or deciding to remain invested in the fund. You should consider the fund’s investment strategies over the whole life of the fund. Unlike many other target retirement date funds, the fund may not follow the Target Allocation indicated by the glide path. There is no assurance that the fund will provide sufficient retirement income at and after the target date. The fund, through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs, is subject to the risks of the underlying funds and ETFs. The following is a summary description of principal risks (in alphabetical order after certain key risks) of investing in the fund (either directly and/or through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs). Each risk described below may not apply to each underlying fund or ETF and an underlying fund or ETF may be subject to additional or different risks than those described below. An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.You may lose money if you invest in this fund.
Market – The market prices of the fund’s securities or other assets may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, inflation, changes in interest rates, governmental actions or interventions, actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve or foreign central banks, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes or other factors, political developments, investor sentiment, the global and domestic effects of a pandemic, and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. If the market prices of the fund’s securities and assets fall, the value of your investment will go down.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, public health events (such as the spread of infectious disease), wars, terrorism, cybersecurity events, technology and data interruptions, natural disasters, and other circumstances in one or more countries or regions could be highly disruptive to, and have profound impacts on, global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments may go down.
The pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in extreme volatility in the financial markets, a domestic and global economic downturn, severe losses, particularly to some sectors of the economy and individual issuers, and reduced liquidity of many instruments. There also have been significant disruptions to business operations, including business closures; strained healthcare systems; disruptions to supply chains and employee availability; large fluctuations in consumer demand; and widespread uncertainty regarding the duration and long-term effects of the pandemic. The domestic and global economic downturn may be prolonged. The pandemic may result in domestic and foreign political and social instability,
9

damage to diplomatic and international trade relations, and continued volatility and/or decreased liquidity in the securities markets. Developing or emerging market countries may be more impacted by the pandemic.
The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve, as well as certain foreign governments and central banks, have taken extraordinary actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including by pushing interest rates to very low levels. This and other government intervention into the economy and financial markets to address the pandemic may not work as intended, particularly if the efforts are perceived by investors as being unlikely to achieve the desired results. Government actions to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic have resulted in large expansion of government deficits and debt, the long-term consequences of which are not known. Rates of inflation have recently risen, which could adversely affect economies and markets.
The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to adversely affect the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments, impair the fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the fund’s performance. In addition, the pandemic, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the fund by its service providers.
Underlying Exchange-Traded Funds – To the extent the fund invests its assets in underlying ETFs, its ability to achieve its investment objective will depend in part on the performance of the underlying ETFs in which it invests. Investing in underlying ETFs subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those ETFs. Each of the underlying ETFs in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying ETFs’ shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying ETF will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying ETFs in which it invests.
Underlying Funds Because the fund invests its assets in various underlying funds, its ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds in which it invests. Investing in underlying funds subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those underlying funds. Each of the underlying funds in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying funds' shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying fund will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. The “List and Description of Certain Underlying Funds” section of the fund's prospectus identifies certain risks of each underlying fund.
Asset Allocation – The fund’s investment performance is significantly impacted by the fund’s asset allocation and reallocation from time to time. The sub-adviser's decisions whether and when to tactically overweight or underweight asset classes and select a mix of underlying funds may not produce the desired results. These actions may be unsuccessful in maximizing return and/or avoiding investment losses. The value of your investment
may decrease if the sub-adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular asset class, investment style, technique or strategy, underlying fund or other issuer is incorrect. The sub-adviser may favor an asset class that performs poorly relative to other asset classes. The available underlying funds selected by the sub-adviser may underperform the market or similar funds.
Equity Securities – Equity securities generally have greater risk of loss than debt securities. Stock markets are volatile and the value of equity securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of equity securities fluctuates based on real or perceived changes in a company’s financial condition, factors affecting a particular industry or industries, and overall market, economic and political conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the fund fall, the value of your investment in the fund will decline. The fund may lose its entire investment in the equity securities of an issuer. A change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer may adversely impact securities markets as a whole.
Fixed-Income Securities – Risks of fixed-income securities include credit risk, interest rate risk, counterparty risk, prepayment risk, extension risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk. The value of fixed-income securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, tariffs and trade disruptions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In addition, the value of a fixed-income security may decline if the issuer or other obligor of the security fails to pay principal and/or interest, otherwise defaults or has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines. If the value of fixed-income securities owned by the fund falls, the value of your investment will go down. The fund may lose its entire investment in the fixed-income securities of an issuer.
Inflation – The value of assets or income from investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the fund’s assets can decline as can the value of the fund’s distributions.
Management – The value of your investment may go down if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's judgments and decisions are incorrect or otherwise do not produce the desired results, or if the investment strategy does not work as intended. You may also suffer losses if there are imperfections, errors or limitations in the quantitative, analytic or other tools, resources, information and data used, investment techniques applied, or the analyses employed or relied on, by the investment manageror sub-adviser, if such tools, resources, information or data are used incorrectly or otherwise do not work as intended, or if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's investment style is out of favor or otherwise fails to produce the desired results. Any of these things could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.
Counterparty – The fund could lose money if the counterparties to derivatives, repurchase agreements and other financial contracts entered into for the fund do not fulfill their contractual obligations. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against a counterparty.
10

Credit – If an issuer or other obligor (such as a party providing insurance or other credit enhancement) of a security held by the fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the fund is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations, or is downgraded or perceived to be less creditworthy (whether by market participants or otherwise), or if the value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. A decline may be significant, particularly in certain market environments. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against an issuer, obligor or counterparty.
Currency – The value of a fund’s investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increases or decreases as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by currency risk. Currency exchange rates can be volatile and may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could reduce or eliminate investment gains or add to investment losses. A fund may be unable or may choose not to hedge its foreign currency exposure.
Derivatives – The use of derivatives involves a variety of risks, which may be different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Risks of derivatives include leverage risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, market risk, counterparty risk, credit risk, operational risk and legal risk. Use of derivatives can increase fund losses, increase costs, reduce opportunities for gains, increase fund volatility, and not produce the result intended. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. Even a small investment in derivatives can have a disproportionate impact on the fund. Derivatives may be difficult or impossible to sell, unwind or value, and the counterparty (including, if applicable, the fund’s clearing broker, the derivatives exchange or the clearinghouse) may default on its obligations to the fund. In certain cases, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against or closing out derivatives instruments with a counterparty, which may result in additional losses. Derivatives are also generally subject to the risks applicable to the assets, rates, indices or other indicators underlying the derivative, including market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, management and valuation risk. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances or at reasonable prices. The value of a derivative may fluctuate more or less than, or otherwise not correlate well with, the underlying assets, rates, indices or other indicators to which it relates. The fund may, under the current asset segregation and coverage regulatory framework, be required to segregate or earmark liquid assets or otherwise cover its obligations under derivatives transactions and may have to liquidate positions before it is desirable in order to meet these segregation and coverage requirements. The SEC has adopted new Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for the use of derivatives by registered investment companies and set limits on a fund’s investments in derivatives. Compliance with Rule 18f-4 is not required until August 2022, but the rule may impact the fund’s use of derivatives before that date. Rule 18f-4 could have an adverse impact on the fund’s performance and its ability to implement its investment strategies as it has historically.
Emerging Markets – Investments in securities of issuers located or doing business in emerging markets are subject to heightened foreign investments risks and may experience rapid and extreme changes in value. Emerging market countries tend to have less developed and less stable economic, political and legal systems and regulatory and accounting standards, may have policies that restrict investment by foreigners or that prevent foreign investors such as the fund from withdrawing their money at will, and are more likely to experience nationalization, expropriation and confiscatory taxation. In addition, emerging market securities may have low trading volumes and may be or become illiquid.
Extension – When interest rates rise, repayments of fixed-income securities, including asset- and mortgage-backed securities, may occur more slowly than anticipated, causing their market prices to decline.
Focused Investing – To the extent the fund invests in a limited number of countries, regions, sectors, industries or market segments, in a limited number of issuers, or in issuers in related businesses or that are subject to related operating risks, the fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those countries, regions, sectors, industries, segments or issuers, and the value of its shares may be more volatile than if it invested more widely.
Foreign Investments – Investing in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involves additional risks. Foreign markets can be less liquid, less regulated, less transparent and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the fund’s foreign investments may decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of government or central bank support, tariffs and trade disruptions, sanctions, political or financial instability, social unrest or other adverse economic or political developments. Foreign investments may also be subject to different accounting practices and different regulatory, legal, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping standards and practices, and may be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers.
Growth Stocks – Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with returns on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks typically are particularly sensitive to market movements and may involve larger price swings because their market prices tend to reflect future expectations. When it appears those expectations may not be met, the prices of growth securities typically fall. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.
High-Yield Debt Securities – High-yield debt securities, commonly referred to as “junk” bonds, are securities that are rated below “investment grade” or are of comparable quality. Changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers, the creditworthiness of the issuers and negative perceptions of the junk bond market generally may significantly affect the value of these bonds. Junk bonds are considered speculative, tend to be volatile, typically have a higher risk of default, tend to be less liquid and more difficult to value than higher grade securities, and may result in losses for the fund.
11

Inflation-Protected Securities – Inflation-protected debt securities may react differently from other types of debt securities and tend to react to changes in “real” interest rates, which represent nominal (stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In general, the price of an inflation-protected debt security can fall when real interest rates rise, and can rise when real interest rates fall. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable and will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation.
Interest Rate – Interest rates in the U.S. and certain foreign markets have been low relative to historic levels. The fund faces a risk that interest rates may rise. The value of fixed-income securities generally goes down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. Changes in interest rates also may affect the liquidity of the fund’s investments. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to sell fixed-income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities generally and could also result in increased redemptions from the fund. Increased redemptions could cause the fund to sell securities at inopportune times or depressed prices and result in further losses.
Large Capitalization Companies – The fund’s investments in larger, more established companies may underperform other segments of the market because they may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
Leveraging – To the extent that the fund borrows or uses derivatives or other investments, such as ETFs, that have embedded leverage, your investment may be subject to heightened volatility, risk of loss and costs. Other risks also will be compounded because leverage generally magnifies the effect of a change in the value of an asset and creates a risk of loss of value on a larger pool of assets than the fund would otherwise have. Use of leverage may result in the loss of a substantial amount, and possibly all, of the fund’s assets. The fund also may have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation, coverage or margin requirements.
Liquidity – The fund may make investments that are illiquid or that become illiquid after purchase. Illiquid investments can be difficult to value, may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid investments, and may be subject to wide fluctuations in value. If the fund is forced to sell an illiquid investment to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the fund may be forced to sell at a substantial loss or may not be able to sell at all. Liquidity of particular investments, or even entire asset classes, including U.S. Treasury securities, can deteriorate rapidly, particularly during times of market turmoil, and those investments may be difficult or impossible for the fund to sell. This may prevent the fund from limiting losses.
Mortgage-Related and Asset-Backed Securities – The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid, which could negatively impact
the fund. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property. Asset-backed securities represent participations in, or are secured by and payable from, assets such as installment sales or loan contracts, leases, credit card receivables and other categories of receivables. The value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be affected by changes in credit quality or value of the mortgage loans or other assets that support the securities. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment or call and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets.
Prepayment or Call – Many issuers have a right to prepay their fixed-income securities. If this happens, the fund will not benefit from the rise in the market price of the securities that normally accompanies a decline in interest rates and may be forced to reinvest the prepayment proceeds in securities with lower yields.
Real Estate Securities – Investments in the real estate industry are subject to risks associated with direct investment in real estate. These risks include declines in the value of real estate, adverse general and local economic conditions, increased competition, overbuilding and changes in laws and regulations affecting real estate, operating expenses, property taxes and interest rates. If the fund’s real estate-related investments are concentrated in one geographic area or one property type, the fund will also be subject to the risks associated with that one area or property type. The value of the fund’s real estate-related securities will not necessarily track the value of the underlying investments of the issuers of such securities.
REITs – Investing in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) involves unique risks. When the fund invests in REITs, it is subject to risks generally associated with investing in real estate. A REIT’s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns, how well it manages those properties and cash flow. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, may engage in dilutive offerings, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. In addition to its own expenses, the fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management and other expenses paid by REITs in which it invests. U.S. REITs are subject to a number of highly technical tax-related rules and requirements; and a U.S. REIT’s failure to qualify for the favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment generally available to U.S. REITs could result in corporate-level taxation, significantly reducing the return on an investment to the fund.
Repurchase Agreements – In a repurchase agreement, the fund purchases securities from a broker-dealer or a bank, called the counterparty, upon the agreement of the counterparty to repurchase the securities from the fund at a later date, and at a specified price. The securities purchased serve as the fund's collateral for the obligation of the counterparty to repurchase the securities. If the counterparty does not repurchase the securities, the fund is entitled to sell the securities, but the fund may not be able to sell them for the price at which they were purchased, thus causing a loss. If the counterparty becomes insolvent, there is some risk that the fund will not have a right to the securities, or the immediate right to sell the securities.
12

Small and Medium Capitalization Companies – The fund will be exposed to additional risks as a result of its investments in the securities of small or medium capitalization companies. Small or medium capitalization companies may be more at risk than large capitalization companies because, among other things, they may have limited product lines, operating history, market or financial resources, or because they may depend on a limited management group. Securities of small and medium capitalization companies may be more volatile than and may underperform large capitalization companies, may be harder to sell at times and at prices the portfolio managers believe appropriate and may offer greater potential for losses.
Valuation – The sales price the fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the fund's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets, that are priced based upon valuations provided by third party pricing services that use matrix or evaluated pricing systems, or that are valued using a fair value methodology. These differences may increase significantly and affect fund investments more broadly during periods of market volatility. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the fund had not fair-valued securities or had used a different valuation methodology. The fund’s ability to value its investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third party service providers.
Value Investing – The prices of securities the sub-adviser believes are undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated or may go down. The value approach to investing involves the risk that stocks may remain undervalued, undervaluation may become more severe, or perceived undervaluation may actually represent intrinsic value. Value stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “growth” stocks.
Performance: The bar chart and the table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The bar chart shows how the fund’s performance has varied from year to year. The table shows how the fund’s average annual total returns for different periods compare to the returns of a broad measure of market performance.
Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would be lower.
As with all mutual funds, past performance (before and after taxes) is not a prediction of future results. Updated performance information is available on our website at www.transamerica.com/investments-fund-center or by calling 1-888-233-4339.
Prior to December 6, 2021, the fund had a different sub-adviser, a different investment objective and used different investment strategies. The performance set forth prior to that date is attributable to that previous sub-adviser.

Prior to December 6, 2021, the fund’s primary benchmark was the Dow Jones Target 2020 Index. The change to the primary benchmark was made to more accurately reflect the principal investment strategies of the fund.
The after-tax returns are calculated using the historic highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns may depend on the investor’s individual tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns may not be relevant if the investment is made through a tax-exempt or tax-deferred account, such as a 401(k) plan.

After-tax returns are presented for only one class, and returns for other classes are presented before taxes only and will vary.

Contractual arrangements have been made with the fund’s investment manager, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), through March 1, 2025 to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses to the extent that total annual fund operating expenses exceed 0.55% for Class R6 shares, 1.20% for Class R1 shares and 0.95% for Class R3 shares, excluding, as applicable, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on securities sold short, extraordinary expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business. These arrangements cannot be terminated prior to March 1, 2025 without the Board of Trustees’ consent. TAM is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class during any of the 36 months from the date on which TAM waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the class if the class’ total annual fund operating expenses have fallen to a level below the limits described above. In no case will TAM recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the fund, in the class’ total annual operating expenses exceeding the applicable limits described above or any other lower limit then in effect.
Example: This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Only the 1 year dollar amount shown below reflects TAM's agreement to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover: The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate for the fund was 19% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies:
The fund is a fund of funds – it invests in a combination of actively managed Transamerica funds (“funds”) and index-based exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) managed by unaffiliated investment advisers.
The fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing normally in a combination of underlying funds and ETFs representing a variety of broad asset classes – including fixed-income, domestic equity, foreign equity, and real estate – and investment styles and focuses. Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may include funds that invest primarily in investment grade fixed-income securities, TIPS, or in high yield, high risk fixed-income securities rated below investment grade (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may invest in U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including corporate, mortgage- and asset-backed, government and emerging markets debt securities. Underlying equity funds and ETFs may include, but are not limited to, large cap funds, mid cap funds, small cap funds, growth-oriented funds, value-oriented funds, international equity funds, emerging market equity funds, real return funds and funds that invest in real estate-related securities, including REITs. The fund may also invest in inflation-hedging positions that fall under the broader asset categories listed above.
The fund is designed for investors expecting to retire around 2025. The fund’s asset-mix has been designed on the expectation that investors will begin to withdraw assets from the fund during 2025 and assume a retirement age of 65. The fund generally seeks to maintain a static target allocation (the “Target Allocation”) to asset classes in accordance with its glide path, as described below. The fund’s sub-adviser, Wilshire Advisors LLC (the “sub-adviser” or “Wilshire”), may periodically adjust target asset class allocations in accordance with its investment process and, in the view of
15

Wilshire, to appropriately position the fund in response to changing market environments. However, Wilshire may tactically over-weight or underweight asset classes at any time during the glide path period. This means at any time the fund’s asset mix may differ from the Target Allocation.
The fund’s current Target Allocation for domestic equity, foreign equity, fixed-income, and real estate is shown in the table below. Due to rounding, the sum of the allocations may not equal 100%.

It is not possible to predict the extent to which the fund will be invested in a particular underlying fund or ETF at any time. The fund may be a significant shareholder in certain underlying funds or ETFs.
Each underlying fund and ETF has its own investment objective, principal investment strategies and investment risks. The sub-adviser for each underlying fund and adviser or sub-adviser for each underlying ETF decides which securities to purchase and sell for that underlying fund or ETF. The fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds and ETFs.
The “Underlying Funds” section of the prospectus lists the underlying Transamerica Funds currently available for investment by the fund, provides a summary of their respective investment objectives and principal investment strategies, and identifies certain risks of those funds.
The investment manager may change the available underlying Transamerica Funds, and the sub-adviser may change the fund’s asset allocations and underlying funds and ETFs, at any time without notice to shareholders and without shareholder approval.
Glide Path Period
Over time, the Target Allocation to asset classes will normally change according to a predetermined “glide path.” The glide path represents the shifting of these asset classes over time. Rebalancing and de-risking of the glide path will generally occur annually. The glide path is detailed in the chart below (note that “0” represents the fund’s target date and that the fund is currently “-3” years before its target date):
During the time that the fund’s Target Allocation tracks the glide path, the fund’s asset mix will gradually become more conservative until approximately 2025 at which time the Target Allocation will become static. This reflects the goal of pursuing the highest total return, consistent with a reasonable amount of risk, during the investor’s pre-retirement and early retirement years. By following these investment strategies both before and after the fund reaches its target date, the fund seeks to reduce the likelihood that an investor will experience a significant loss of capital at a more advanced age.
The Target Allocation reflected in the glide path is a “neutral” allocation, which does not reflect tactical decisions made by Wilshire to overweight or underweight a particular asset class. From time to time, Wilshire may make tactical increases or decreases to the fund’s investment in a particular asset class beyond the Target Allocation, based on a broad range of market and economic trends and quantitative factors. Wilshire may also allow the relative weightings of the fund’s investments in asset classes to vary from its Target Allocation in response to the markets. When varying exposures among underlying funds and/or ETFs, Wilshire will examine, among other things, relative values and prospects among the underlying funds and/or ETFs’ asset classes, as well as the capacity of the underlying funds and/or ETFs to absorb additional cash flow.
Static Allocation Period
The fund’s Target Allocation will become static at the target date. At that time, when the fund’s Target Allocation will match the Target Allocation of Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income (the “Retirement Fund”), the fund’s Board of Trustees may combine the fund with the Retirement Fund without shareholder approval, and the fund’s shareholders will become shareholders of the Retirement Fund. This combination would occur approximately in the year 2025. This combination is currently expected to be tax-free under current law. Shareholders will be provided with additional information at that time. The Retirement Fund’s Target Allocation is currently 59% fixed-income, 26% domestic equity, 12% foreign equity, and 3% real estate. Wilshire may tactically overweight or underweight asset classes in the fund during the Static Allocation Period and in the Retirement Fund at any time.
Principal Risks: Risk is inherent in all investing. Many factors and risks affect the fund's performance, including those described below. The value of your investment in the fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly day to day and over time. You may lose part or all of your investment
16

in the fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. In addition, you may experience losses near, at or after the target date. You should not rely solely on the target date when choosing to invest in the fund or deciding to remain invested in the fund. You should consider the fund’s investment strategies over the whole life of the fund. Unlike many other target retirement date funds, the fund may not follow the Target Allocation indicated by the glide path. There is no assurance that the fund will provide sufficient retirement income at and after the target date. The fund, through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs, is subject to the risks of the underlying funds and ETFs. The following is a summary description of principal risks (in alphabetical order after certain key risks) of investing in the fund (either directly and/or through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs). Each risk described below may not apply to each underlying fund or ETF and an underlying fund or ETF may be subject to additional or different risks than those described below. An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.You may lose money if you invest in this fund.
Market – The market prices of the fund’s securities or other assets may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, inflation, changes in interest rates, governmental actions or interventions, actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve or foreign central banks, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes or other factors, political developments, investor sentiment, the global and domestic effects of a pandemic, and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. If the market prices of the fund’s securities and assets fall, the value of your investment will go down.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, public health events (such as the spread of infectious disease), wars, terrorism, cybersecurity events, technology and data interruptions, natural disasters, and other circumstances in one or more countries or regions could be highly disruptive to, and have profound impacts on, global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments may go down.
The pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in extreme volatility in the financial markets, a domestic and global economic downturn, severe losses, particularly to some sectors of the economy and individual issuers, and reduced liquidity of many instruments. There also have been significant disruptions to business operations, including business closures; strained healthcare systems; disruptions to supply chains and employee availability; large fluctuations in consumer demand; and widespread uncertainty regarding the duration and long-term effects of the pandemic. The domestic and global economic downturn may be prolonged. The pandemic may result in domestic and foreign political and social instability, damage to diplomatic and international
trade relations, and continued volatility and/or decreased liquidity in the securities markets. Developing or emerging market countries may be more impacted by the pandemic.
The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve, as well as certain foreign governments and central banks, have taken extraordinary actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including by pushing interest rates to very low levels. This and other government intervention into the economy and financial markets to address the pandemic may not work as intended, particularly if the efforts are perceived by investors as being unlikely to achieve the desired results. Government actions to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic have resulted in large expansion of government deficits and debt, the long-term consequences of which are not known. Rates of inflation have recently risen, which could adversely affect economies and markets.
The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to adversely affect the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments, impair the fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the fund’s performance. In addition, the pandemic, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the fund by its service providers.
Underlying Exchange-Traded Funds – To the extent the fund invests its assets in underlying ETFs, its ability to achieve its investment objective will depend in part on the performance of the underlying ETFs in which it invests. Investing in underlying ETFs subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those ETFs. Each of the underlying ETFs in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying ETFs’ shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying ETF will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying ETFs in which it invests.
Underlying Funds Because the fund invests its assets in various underlying funds, its ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds in which it invests. Investing in underlying funds subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those underlying funds. Each of the underlying funds in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying funds' shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying fund will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. The “List and Description of Certain Underlying Funds” section of the fund's prospectus identifies certain risks of each underlying fund.
Asset Allocation – The fund’s investment performance is significantly impacted by the fund’s asset allocation and reallocation from time to time. The sub-adviser's decisions whether and when to tactically overweight or underweight asset classes and select a mix of underlying funds may not produce the desired results. These actions may be unsuccessful in maximizing return and/or avoiding investment losses. The value of your investment may decrease if the sub-adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular asset class, investment style, technique or strategy, underlying fund or other issuer is incorrect. The
17

sub-adviser may favor an asset class that performs poorly relative to other asset classes. The available underlying funds selected by the sub-adviser may underperform the market or similar funds.
Equity Securities – Equity securities generally have greater risk of loss than debt securities. Stock markets are volatile and the value of equity securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of equity securities fluctuates based on real or perceived changes in a company’s financial condition, factors affecting a particular industry or industries, and overall market, economic and political conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the fund fall, the value of your investment in the fund will decline. The fund may lose its entire investment in the equity securities of an issuer. A change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer may adversely impact securities markets as a whole.
Fixed-Income Securities – Risks of fixed-income securities include credit risk, interest rate risk, counterparty risk, prepayment risk, extension risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk. The value of fixed-income securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, tariffs and trade disruptions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In addition, the value of a fixed-income security may decline if the issuer or other obligor of the security fails to pay principal and/or interest, otherwise defaults or has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines. If the value of fixed-income securities owned by the fund falls, the value of your investment will go down. The fund may lose its entire investment in the fixed-income securities of an issuer.
Inflation – The value of assets or income from investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the fund’s assets can decline as can the value of the fund’s distributions.
Management – The value of your investment may go down if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's judgments and decisions are incorrect or otherwise do not produce the desired results, or if the investment strategy does not work as intended. You may also suffer losses if there are imperfections, errors or limitations in the quantitative, analytic or other tools, resources, information and data used, investment techniques applied, or the analyses employed or relied on, by the investment manageror sub-adviser, if such tools, resources, information or data are used incorrectly or otherwise do not work as intended, or if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's investment style is out of favor or otherwise fails to produce the desired results. Any of these things could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.
Counterparty – The fund could lose money if the counterparties to derivatives, repurchase agreements and other financial contracts entered into for the fund do not fulfill their contractual obligations. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against a counterparty.
Credit – If an issuer or other obligor (such as a party providing insurance or other credit enhancement) of a security held by the fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the fund is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations, or is downgraded
or perceived to be less creditworthy (whether by market participants or otherwise), or if the value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. A decline may be significant, particularly in certain market environments. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against an issuer, obligor or counterparty.
Currency – The value of a fund’s investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increases or decreases as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by currency risk. Currency exchange rates can be volatile and may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could reduce or eliminate investment gains or add to investment losses. A fund may be unable or may choose not to hedge its foreign currency exposure.
Derivatives – The use of derivatives involves a variety of risks, which may be different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Risks of derivatives include leverage risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, market risk, counterparty risk, credit risk, operational risk and legal risk. Use of derivatives can increase fund losses, increase costs, reduce opportunities for gains, increase fund volatility, and not produce the result intended. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. Even a small investment in derivatives can have a disproportionate impact on the fund. Derivatives may be difficult or impossible to sell, unwind or value, and the counterparty (including, if applicable, the fund’s clearing broker, the derivatives exchange or the clearinghouse) may default on its obligations to the fund. In certain cases, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against or closing out derivatives instruments with a counterparty, which may result in additional losses. Derivatives are also generally subject to the risks applicable to the assets, rates, indices or other indicators underlying the derivative, including market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, management and valuation risk. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances or at reasonable prices. The value of a derivative may fluctuate more or less than, or otherwise not correlate well with, the underlying assets, rates, indices or other indicators to which it relates. The fund may, under the current asset segregation and coverage regulatory framework, be required to segregate or earmark liquid assets or otherwise cover its obligations under derivatives transactions and may have to liquidate positions before it is desirable in order to meet these segregation and coverage requirements. The SEC has adopted new Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for the use of derivatives by registered investment companies and set limits on a fund’s investments in derivatives. Compliance with Rule 18f-4 is not required until August 2022, but the rule may impact the fund’s use of derivatives before that date. Rule 18f-4 could have an adverse impact on the fund’s performance and its ability to implement its investment strategies as it has historically.
Emerging Markets – Investments in securities of issuers located or doing business in emerging markets are subject to heightened foreign investments risks and may experience rapid and extreme changes in value. Emerging market countries tend to have less developed and less stable economic, political and legal systems and regulatory and accounting standards, may have policies that
18

restrict investment by foreigners or that prevent foreign investors such as the fund from withdrawing their money at will, and are more likely to experience nationalization, expropriation and confiscatory taxation. In addition, emerging market securities may have low trading volumes and may be or become illiquid.
Extension – When interest rates rise, repayments of fixed-income securities, including asset- and mortgage-backed securities, may occur more slowly than anticipated, causing their market prices to decline.
Focused Investing – To the extent the fund invests in a limited number of countries, regions, sectors, industries or market segments, in a limited number of issuers, or in issuers in related businesses or that are subject to related operating risks, the fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those countries, regions, sectors, industries, segments or issuers, and the value of its shares may be more volatile than if it invested more widely.
Foreign Investments – Investing in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involves additional risks. Foreign markets can be less liquid, less regulated, less transparent and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the fund’s foreign investments may decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of government or central bank support, tariffs and trade disruptions, sanctions, political or financial instability, social unrest or other adverse economic or political developments. Foreign investments may also be subject to different accounting practices and different regulatory, legal, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping standards and practices, and may be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers.
Growth Stocks – Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with returns on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks typically are particularly sensitive to market movements and may involve larger price swings because their market prices tend to reflect future expectations. When it appears those expectations may not be met, the prices of growth securities typically fall. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.
High-Yield Debt Securities – High-yield debt securities, commonly referred to as “junk” bonds, are securities that are rated below “investment grade” or are of comparable quality. Changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers, the creditworthiness of the issuers and negative perceptions of the junk bond market generally may significantly affect the value of these bonds. Junk bonds are considered speculative, tend to be volatile, typically have a higher risk of default, tend to be less liquid and more difficult to value than higher grade securities, and may result in losses for the fund.
Inflation-Protected Securities – Inflation-protected debt securities may react differently from other types of debt securities and tend to react to changes in “real” interest rates, which represent nominal (stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In general, the price of an inflation-protected debt security can fall when real interest rates rise, and can rise when real interest
rates fall. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable and will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation.
Interest Rate – Interest rates in the U.S. and certain foreign markets have been low relative to historic levels. The fund faces a risk that interest rates may rise. The value of fixed-income securities generally goes down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. Changes in interest rates also may affect the liquidity of the fund’s investments. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to sell fixed-income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities generally and could also result in increased redemptions from the fund. Increased redemptions could cause the fund to sell securities at inopportune times or depressed prices and result in further losses.
Large Capitalization Companies – The fund’s investments in larger, more established companies may underperform other segments of the market because they may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
Leveraging – To the extent that the fund borrows or uses derivatives or other investments, such as ETFs, that have embedded leverage, your investment may be subject to heightened volatility, risk of loss and costs. Other risks also will be compounded because leverage generally magnifies the effect of a change in the value of an asset and creates a risk of loss of value on a larger pool of assets than the fund would otherwise have. Use of leverage may result in the loss of a substantial amount, and possibly all, of the fund’s assets. The fund also may have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation, coverage or margin requirements.
Liquidity – The fund may make investments that are illiquid or that become illiquid after purchase. Illiquid investments can be difficult to value, may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid investments, and may be subject to wide fluctuations in value. If the fund is forced to sell an illiquid investment to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the fund may be forced to sell at a substantial loss or may not be able to sell at all. Liquidity of particular investments, or even entire asset classes, including U.S. Treasury securities, can deteriorate rapidly, particularly during times of market turmoil, and those investments may be difficult or impossible for the fund to sell. This may prevent the fund from limiting losses.
Mortgage-Related and Asset-Backed Securities – The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid, which could negatively impact the fund. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property. Asset-backed securities represent participations in, or are secured by and payable from, assets such as installment sales or loan contracts, leases, credit card receivables and other categories of receivables. The value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be affected by changes in credit quality or value of the mortgage loans or other assets that support
19

the securities. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment or call and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets.
Prepayment or Call – Many issuers have a right to prepay their fixed-income securities. If this happens, the fund will not benefit from the rise in the market price of the securities that normally accompanies a decline in interest rates and may be forced to reinvest the prepayment proceeds in securities with lower yields.
Real Estate Securities – Investments in the real estate industry are subject to risks associated with direct investment in real estate. These risks include declines in the value of real estate, adverse general and local economic conditions, increased competition, overbuilding and changes in laws and regulations affecting real estate, operating expenses, property taxes and interest rates. If the fund’s real estate-related investments are concentrated in one geographic area or one property type, the fund will also be subject to the risks associated with that one area or property type. The value of the fund’s real estate-related securities will not necessarily track the value of the underlying investments of the issuers of such securities.
REITs – Investing in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) involves unique risks. When the fund invests in REITs, it is subject to risks generally associated with investing in real estate. A REIT’s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns, how well it manages those properties and cash flow. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, may engage in dilutive offerings, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. In addition to its own expenses, the fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management and other expenses paid by REITs in which it invests. U.S. REITs are subject to a number of highly technical tax-related rules and requirements; and a U.S. REIT’s failure to qualify for the favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment generally available to U.S. REITs could result in corporate-level taxation, significantly reducing the return on an investment to the fund.
Repurchase Agreements – In a repurchase agreement, the fund purchases securities from a broker-dealer or a bank, called the counterparty, upon the agreement of the counterparty to repurchase the securities from the fund at a later date, and at a specified price. The securities purchased serve as the fund's collateral for the obligation of the counterparty to repurchase the securities. If the counterparty does not repurchase the securities, the fund is entitled to sell the securities, but the fund may not be able to sell them for the price at which they were purchased, thus causing a loss. If the counterparty becomes insolvent, there is some risk that the fund will not have a right to the securities, or the immediate right to sell the securities.
Small and Medium Capitalization Companies – The fund will be exposed to additional risks as a result of its investments in the securities of small or medium capitalization companies. Small or medium capitalization companies may be more at risk than large capitalization companies because, among other things, they may have limited product lines, operating history, market or financial resources, or because they may depend on a limited management group. Securities of small and medium capitalization companies
may be more volatile than and may underperform large capitalization companies, may be harder to sell at times and at prices the portfolio managers believe appropriate and may offer greater potential for losses.
Valuation – The sales price the fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the fund's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets, that are priced based upon valuations provided by third party pricing services that use matrix or evaluated pricing systems, or that are valued using a fair value methodology. These differences may increase significantly and affect fund investments more broadly during periods of market volatility. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the fund had not fair-valued securities or had used a different valuation methodology. The fund’s ability to value its investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third party service providers.
Value Investing – The prices of securities the sub-adviser believes are undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated or may go down. The value approach to investing involves the risk that stocks may remain undervalued, undervaluation may become more severe, or perceived undervaluation may actually represent intrinsic value. Value stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “growth” stocks.
Performance: The bar chart and the table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The bar chart shows how the fund’s performance has varied from year to year. The table shows how the fund’s average annual total returns for different periods compare to the returns of a broad measure of market performance.
Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would be lower.
As with all mutual funds, past performance (before and after taxes) is not a prediction of future results. Updated performance information is available on our website at www.transamerica.com/investments-fund-center or by calling 1-888-233-4339.
Prior to December 6, 2021, the fund had a different sub-adviser, a different investment objective and used different investment strategies. The performance set forth prior to that date is attributable to that previous sub-adviser.

Contractual arrangements have been made with the fund’s investment manager, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), through March 1, 2025 to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses to the extent that total annual fund operating expenses exceed 0.55% for Class R6 shares, 1.20% for Class R1 shares and 0.95% for Class R3 shares, excluding, as applicable, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on securities sold short, extraordinary expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business. These arrangements cannot be terminated prior to March 1, 2025 without the Board of Trustees’ consent. TAM is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class during any of the 36 months from the date on which TAM waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the class if the class’ total annual fund operating expenses have fallen to a level below the limits described above. In no case will TAM recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the fund, in the class’ total annual operating expenses exceeding the applicable limits described above or any other lower limit then in effect.
Example: This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Only the 1 year dollar amount shown below reflects TAM's agreement to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover: The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate for the fund was 9% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies:
The fund is a fund of funds – it invests in a combination of actively managed Transamerica funds (“funds”) and index-based exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) managed by unaffiliated investment advisers.
The fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing normally in a combination of underlying funds and ETFs representing a variety of broad asset classes – including fixed-income, domestic equity, foreign equity, and real estate – and investment styles and focuses. Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may include funds that invest primarily in investment grade fixed-income securities, TIPS, or in high yield, high risk fixed-income securities rated below investment grade (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may invest in U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including corporate, mortgage- and asset-backed, government and emerging markets debt securities. Underlying equity funds and ETFs may include, but are not limited to, large cap funds, mid cap funds, small cap funds, growth-oriented funds, value-oriented funds, international equity funds, emerging market equity funds, real return funds and funds that invest in real estate-related securities, including REITs. The fund may also invest in inflation-hedging positions that fall under the broader asset categories listed above.
The fund is designed for investors expecting to retire around 2030. The fund’s asset-mix has been designed on the expectation that investors will begin to withdraw assets from the fund during 2030 and assume a retirement age of 65. The fund generally seeks to maintain a static target allocation (the “Target Allocation”) to asset classes in accordance with its glide path, as described below. The fund’s sub-adviser, Wilshire Advisors LLC (the “sub-adviser” or “Wilshire”), may periodically adjust target asset class allocations in accordance with its investment process and, in the view of
22

Wilshire, to appropriately position the fund in response to changing market environments. However, Wilshire may tactically over-weight or underweight asset classes at any time during the glide path period. This means at any time the fund’s asset mix may differ from the Target Allocation.
The fund’s current Target Allocation for domestic equity, foreign equity, fixed-income, and real estate is shown in the table below.

It is not possible to predict the extent to which the fund will be invested in a particular underlying fund or ETF at any time. The fund may be a significant shareholder in certain underlying funds or ETFs.
Each underlying fund and ETF has its own investment objective, principal investment strategies and investment risks. The sub-adviser for each underlying fund and adviser or sub-adviser for each underlying ETF decides which securities to purchase and sell for that underlying fund or ETF. The fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds and ETFs.
The “Underlying Funds” section of the prospectus lists the underlying Transamerica Funds currently available for investment by the fund, provides a summary of their respective investment objectives and principal investment strategies, and identifies certain risks of those funds.
The investment manager may change the available underlying Transamerica Funds, and the sub-adviser may change the fund’s asset allocations and underlying funds and ETFs, at any time without notice to shareholders and without shareholder approval.
Glide Path Period
Over time, the Target Allocation to asset classes will normally change according to a predetermined “glide path.” The glide path represents the shifting of these asset classes over time. Rebalancing and de-risking of the glide path will generally occur annually. The glide path is detailed in the chart below (note that “0” represents the fund’s target date and that the fund is currently “-8” years before its target date):
During the time that the fund’s Target Allocation tracks the glide path, the fund’s asset mix will gradually become more conservative until approximately 2030 at which time the Target Allocation will become static. This reflects the goal of pursuing the highest total return, consistent with a reasonable amount of risk, during the investor’s pre-retirement and early retirement years. By following these investment strategies both before and after the fund reaches its target date, the fund seeks to reduce the likelihood that an investor will experience a significant loss of capital at a more advanced age.
The Target Allocation reflected in the glide path is a “neutral” allocation, which does not reflect tactical decisions made by Wilshire to overweight or underweight a particular asset class. From time to time, Wilshire may make tactical increases or decreases to the fund’s investment in a particular asset class beyond the Target Allocation, based on a broad range of market and economic trends and quantitative factors. Wilshire may also allow the relative weightings of the fund’s investments in asset classes to vary from its Target Allocation in response to the markets. When varying exposures among underlying funds and/or ETFs, Wilshire will examine, among other things, relative values and prospects among the underlying funds and/or ETFs’ asset classes, as well as the capacity of the underlying funds and/or ETFs to absorb additional cash flow.
Static Allocation Period
The fund’s Target Allocation will become static at the target date. At that time, when the fund’s Target Allocation will match the Target Allocation of Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income (the “Retirement Fund”), the fund’s Board of Trustees may combine the fund with the Retirement Fund without shareholder approval, and the fund’s shareholders will become shareholders of the Retirement Fund. This combination would occur approximately in the year 2030. This combination is currently expected to be tax-free under current law. Shareholders will be provided with additional information at that time. The Retirement Fund’s Target Allocation is currently 59% fixed-income, 26% domestic equity, 12% foreign equity, and 3% real estate. Wilshire may tactically overweight or underweight asset classes in the fund during the Static Allocation Period and in the Retirement Fund at any time.
Principal Risks: Risk is inherent in all investing. Many factors and risks affect the fund's performance, including those described below. The value of your investment in the fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly
23

day to day and over time. You may lose part or all of your investment in the fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. In addition, you may experience losses near, at or after the target date. You should not rely solely on the target date when choosing to invest in the fund or deciding to remain invested in the fund. You should consider the fund’s investment strategies over the whole life of the fund. Unlike many other target retirement date funds, the fund may not follow the Target Allocation indicated by the glide path. There is no assurance that the fund will provide sufficient retirement income at and after the target date. The fund, through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs, is subject to the risks of the underlying funds and ETFs. The following is a summary description of principal risks (in alphabetical order after certain key risks) of investing in the fund (either directly and/or through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs). Each risk described below may not apply to each underlying fund or ETF and an underlying fund or ETF may be subject to additional or different risks than those described below. An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.You may lose money if you invest in this fund.
Market – The market prices of the fund’s securities or other assets may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, inflation, changes in interest rates, governmental actions or interventions, actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve or foreign central banks, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes or other factors, political developments, investor sentiment, the global and domestic effects of a pandemic, and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. If the market prices of the fund’s securities and assets fall, the value of your investment will go down.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, public health events (such as the spread of infectious disease), wars, terrorism, cybersecurity events, technology and data interruptions, natural disasters, and other circumstances in one or more countries or regions could be highly disruptive to, and have profound impacts on, global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments may go down.
The pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in extreme volatility in the financial markets, a domestic and global economic downturn, severe losses, particularly to some sectors of the economy and individual issuers, and reduced liquidity of many instruments. There also have been significant disruptions to business operations, including business closures; strained healthcare systems; disruptions to supply chains and employee availability; large fluctuations in consumer demand; and widespread uncertainty regarding the duration and long-term effects of the pandemic. The domestic and global economic downturn may be prolonged. The pandemic may result in domestic and foreign political and social instability, damage to diplomatic and international
trade relations, and continued volatility and/or decreased liquidity in the securities markets. Developing or emerging market countries may be more impacted by the pandemic.
The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve, as well as certain foreign governments and central banks, have taken extraordinary actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including by pushing interest rates to very low levels. This and other government intervention into the economy and financial markets to address the pandemic may not work as intended, particularly if the efforts are perceived by investors as being unlikely to achieve the desired results. Government actions to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic have resulted in large expansion of government deficits and debt, the long-term consequences of which are not known. Rates of inflation have recently risen, which could adversely affect economies and markets.
The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to adversely affect the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments, impair the fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the fund’s performance. In addition, the pandemic, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the fund by its service providers.
Underlying Exchange-Traded Funds – To the extent the fund invests its assets in underlying ETFs, its ability to achieve its investment objective will depend in part on the performance of the underlying ETFs in which it invests. Investing in underlying ETFs subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those ETFs. Each of the underlying ETFs in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying ETFs’ shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying ETF will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying ETFs in which it invests.
Underlying Funds Because the fund invests its assets in various underlying funds, its ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds in which it invests. Investing in underlying funds subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those underlying funds. Each of the underlying funds in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying funds' shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying fund will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. The “List and Description of Certain Underlying Funds” section of the fund's prospectus identifies certain risks of each underlying fund.
Asset Allocation – The fund’s investment performance is significantly impacted by the fund’s asset allocation and reallocation from time to time. The sub-adviser's decisions whether and when to tactically overweight or underweight asset classes and select a mix of underlying funds may not produce the desired results. These actions may be unsuccessful in maximizing return and/or avoiding investment losses. The value of your investment may decrease if the sub-adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular asset class, investment style, technique or strategy, underlying fund or other issuer is incorrect. The
24

sub-adviser may favor an asset class that performs poorly relative to other asset classes. The available underlying funds selected by the sub-adviser may underperform the market or similar funds.
Equity Securities – Equity securities generally have greater risk of loss than debt securities. Stock markets are volatile and the value of equity securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of equity securities fluctuates based on real or perceived changes in a company’s financial condition, factors affecting a particular industry or industries, and overall market, economic and political conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the fund fall, the value of your investment in the fund will decline. The fund may lose its entire investment in the equity securities of an issuer. A change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer may adversely impact securities markets as a whole.
Fixed-Income Securities – Risks of fixed-income securities include credit risk, interest rate risk, counterparty risk, prepayment risk, extension risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk. The value of fixed-income securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, tariffs and trade disruptions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In addition, the value of a fixed-income security may decline if the issuer or other obligor of the security fails to pay principal and/or interest, otherwise defaults or has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines. If the value of fixed-income securities owned by the fund falls, the value of your investment will go down. The fund may lose its entire investment in the fixed-income securities of an issuer.
Inflation – The value of assets or income from investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the fund’s assets can decline as can the value of the fund’s distributions.
Management – The value of your investment may go down if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's judgments and decisions are incorrect or otherwise do not produce the desired results, or if the investment strategy does not work as intended. You may also suffer losses if there are imperfections, errors or limitations in the quantitative, analytic or other tools, resources, information and data used, investment techniques applied, or the analyses employed or relied on, by the investment manageror sub-adviser, if such tools, resources, information or data are used incorrectly or otherwise do not work as intended, or if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's investment style is out of favor or otherwise fails to produce the desired results. Any of these things could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.
Counterparty – The fund could lose money if the counterparties to derivatives, repurchase agreements and other financial contracts entered into for the fund do not fulfill their contractual obligations. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against a counterparty.
Credit – If an issuer or other obligor (such as a party providing insurance or other credit enhancement) of a security held by the fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the fund is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations, or is downgraded
or perceived to be less creditworthy (whether by market participants or otherwise), or if the value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. A decline may be significant, particularly in certain market environments. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against an issuer, obligor or counterparty.
Currency – The value of a fund’s investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increases or decreases as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by currency risk. Currency exchange rates can be volatile and may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could reduce or eliminate investment gains or add to investment losses. A fund may be unable or may choose not to hedge its foreign currency exposure.
Derivatives – The use of derivatives involves a variety of risks, which may be different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Risks of derivatives include leverage risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, market risk, counterparty risk, credit risk, operational risk and legal risk. Use of derivatives can increase fund losses, increase costs, reduce opportunities for gains, increase fund volatility, and not produce the result intended. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. Even a small investment in derivatives can have a disproportionate impact on the fund. Derivatives may be difficult or impossible to sell, unwind or value, and the counterparty (including, if applicable, the fund’s clearing broker, the derivatives exchange or the clearinghouse) may default on its obligations to the fund. In certain cases, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against or closing out derivatives instruments with a counterparty, which may result in additional losses. Derivatives are also generally subject to the risks applicable to the assets, rates, indices or other indicators underlying the derivative, including market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, management and valuation risk. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances or at reasonable prices. The value of a derivative may fluctuate more or less than, or otherwise not correlate well with, the underlying assets, rates, indices or other indicators to which it relates. The fund may, under the current asset segregation and coverage regulatory framework, be required to segregate or earmark liquid assets or otherwise cover its obligations under derivatives transactions and may have to liquidate positions before it is desirable in order to meet these segregation and coverage requirements. The SEC has adopted new Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for the use of derivatives by registered investment companies and set limits on a fund’s investments in derivatives. Compliance with Rule 18f-4 is not required until August 2022, but the rule may impact the fund’s use of derivatives before that date. Rule 18f-4 could have an adverse impact on the fund’s performance and its ability to implement its investment strategies as it has historically.
Emerging Markets – Investments in securities of issuers located or doing business in emerging markets are subject to heightened foreign investments risks and may experience rapid and extreme changes in value. Emerging market countries tend to have less developed and less stable economic, political and legal systems and regulatory and accounting standards, may have policies that
25

restrict investment by foreigners or that prevent foreign investors such as the fund from withdrawing their money at will, and are more likely to experience nationalization, expropriation and confiscatory taxation. In addition, emerging market securities may have low trading volumes and may be or become illiquid.
Extension – When interest rates rise, repayments of fixed-income securities, including asset- and mortgage-backed securities, may occur more slowly than anticipated, causing their market prices to decline.
Focused Investing – To the extent the fund invests in a limited number of countries, regions, sectors, industries or market segments, in a limited number of issuers, or in issuers in related businesses or that are subject to related operating risks, the fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those countries, regions, sectors, industries, segments or issuers, and the value of its shares may be more volatile than if it invested more widely.
Foreign Investments – Investing in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involves additional risks. Foreign markets can be less liquid, less regulated, less transparent and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the fund’s foreign investments may decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of government or central bank support, tariffs and trade disruptions, sanctions, political or financial instability, social unrest or other adverse economic or political developments. Foreign investments may also be subject to different accounting practices and different regulatory, legal, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping standards and practices, and may be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers.
Growth Stocks – Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with returns on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks typically are particularly sensitive to market movements and may involve larger price swings because their market prices tend to reflect future expectations. When it appears those expectations may not be met, the prices of growth securities typically fall. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.
High-Yield Debt Securities – High-yield debt securities, commonly referred to as “junk” bonds, are securities that are rated below “investment grade” or are of comparable quality. Changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers, the creditworthiness of the issuers and negative perceptions of the junk bond market generally may significantly affect the value of these bonds. Junk bonds are considered speculative, tend to be volatile, typically have a higher risk of default, tend to be less liquid and more difficult to value than higher grade securities, and may result in losses for the fund.
Inflation-Protected Securities – Inflation-protected debt securities may react differently from other types of debt securities and tend to react to changes in “real” interest rates, which represent nominal (stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In general, the price of an inflation-protected debt security can fall when real interest rates rise, and can rise when real interest
rates fall. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable and will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation.
Interest Rate – Interest rates in the U.S. and certain foreign markets have been low relative to historic levels. The fund faces a risk that interest rates may rise. The value of fixed-income securities generally goes down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. Changes in interest rates also may affect the liquidity of the fund’s investments. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to sell fixed-income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities generally and could also result in increased redemptions from the fund. Increased redemptions could cause the fund to sell securities at inopportune times or depressed prices and result in further losses.
Large Capitalization Companies – The fund’s investments in larger, more established companies may underperform other segments of the market because they may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
Leveraging – To the extent that the fund borrows or uses derivatives or other investments, such as ETFs, that have embedded leverage, your investment may be subject to heightened volatility, risk of loss and costs. Other risks also will be compounded because leverage generally magnifies the effect of a change in the value of an asset and creates a risk of loss of value on a larger pool of assets than the fund would otherwise have. Use of leverage may result in the loss of a substantial amount, and possibly all, of the fund’s assets. The fund also may have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation, coverage or margin requirements.
Liquidity – The fund may make investments that are illiquid or that become illiquid after purchase. Illiquid investments can be difficult to value, may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid investments, and may be subject to wide fluctuations in value. If the fund is forced to sell an illiquid investment to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the fund may be forced to sell at a substantial loss or may not be able to sell at all. Liquidity of particular investments, or even entire asset classes, including U.S. Treasury securities, can deteriorate rapidly, particularly during times of market turmoil, and those investments may be difficult or impossible for the fund to sell. This may prevent the fund from limiting losses.
Mortgage-Related and Asset-Backed Securities – The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid, which could negatively impact the fund. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property. Asset-backed securities represent participations in, or are secured by and payable from, assets such as installment sales or loan contracts, leases, credit card receivables and other categories of receivables. The value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be affected by changes in credit quality or value of the mortgage loans or other assets that support
26

the securities. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment or call and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets.
Prepayment or Call – Many issuers have a right to prepay their fixed-income securities. If this happens, the fund will not benefit from the rise in the market price of the securities that normally accompanies a decline in interest rates and may be forced to reinvest the prepayment proceeds in securities with lower yields.
Real Estate Securities – Investments in the real estate industry are subject to risks associated with direct investment in real estate. These risks include declines in the value of real estate, adverse general and local economic conditions, increased competition, overbuilding and changes in laws and regulations affecting real estate, operating expenses, property taxes and interest rates. If the fund’s real estate-related investments are concentrated in one geographic area or one property type, the fund will also be subject to the risks associated with that one area or property type. The value of the fund’s real estate-related securities will not necessarily track the value of the underlying investments of the issuers of such securities.
REITs – Investing in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) involves unique risks. When the fund invests in REITs, it is subject to risks generally associated with investing in real estate. A REIT’s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns, how well it manages those properties and cash flow. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, may engage in dilutive offerings, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. In addition to its own expenses, the fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management and other expenses paid by REITs in which it invests. U.S. REITs are subject to a number of highly technical tax-related rules and requirements; and a U.S. REIT’s failure to qualify for the favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment generally available to U.S. REITs could result in corporate-level taxation, significantly reducing the return on an investment to the fund.
Small and Medium Capitalization Companies – The fund will be exposed to additional risks as a result of its investments in the securities of small or medium capitalization companies. Small or medium capitalization companies may be more at risk than large capitalization companies because, among other things, they may have limited product lines, operating history, market or financial resources, or because they may depend on a limited management group. Securities of small and medium capitalization companies may be more volatile than and may underperform large capitalization companies, may be harder to sell at times and at prices the portfolio managers believe appropriate and may offer greater potential for losses.
Valuation – The sales price the fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the fund's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets, that are priced based upon valuations provided by third party pricing services that use matrix or evaluated pricing systems, or that are valued using a fair value methodology. These differences may increase significantly and affect fund investments more broadly during periods of market volatility. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower
or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the fund had not fair-valued securities or had used a different valuation methodology. The fund’s ability to value its investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third party service providers.
Value Investing – The prices of securities the sub-adviser believes are undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated or may go down. The value approach to investing involves the risk that stocks may remain undervalued, undervaluation may become more severe, or perceived undervaluation may actually represent intrinsic value. Value stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “growth” stocks.
Performance: The bar chart and the table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The bar chart shows how the fund’s performance has varied from year to year. The table shows how the fund’s average annual total returns for different periods compare to the returns of a broad measure of market performance.
Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would be lower.
As with all mutual funds, past performance (before and after taxes) is not a prediction of future results. Updated performance information is available on our website at www.transamerica.com/investments-fund-center or by calling 1-888-233-4339.
Prior to December 6, 2021, the fund had a different sub-adviser, a different investment objective and used different investment strategies. The performance set forth prior to that date is attributable to that previous sub-adviser.

Contractual arrangements have been made with the fund’s investment manager, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), through March 1, 2025 to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses to the extent that total annual fund operating expenses exceed 0.55% for Class R6 shares, 1.20% for Class R1 shares and 0.95% for Class R3 shares, excluding, as applicable, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on securities sold short, extraordinary expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business. These arrangements cannot be terminated prior to March 1, 2025 without the Board of Trustees’ consent. TAM is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class during any of the 36 months from the date on which TAM waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the class if the class’ total annual fund operating expenses have fallen to a level below the limits described above. In no case will TAM recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the fund, in the class’ total annual operating expenses exceeding the applicable limits described above or any other lower limit then in effect.
Example: This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Only the 1 year dollar amount shown below reflects TAM's agreement to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover: The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate for the fund was 7% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies:
The fund is a fund of funds – it invests in a combination of actively managed Transamerica funds (“funds”) and index-based exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) managed by unaffiliated investment advisers.
The fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing normally in a combination of underlying funds and ETFs representing a variety of broad asset classes – including fixed-income, domestic equity, foreign equity, and real estate – and investment styles and focuses. Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may include funds that invest primarily in investment grade fixed-income securities, TIPS, or in high yield, high risk fixed-income securities rated below investment grade (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may invest in U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including corporate, mortgage- and asset-backed, government and emerging markets debt securities. Underlying equity funds and ETFs may include, but are not limited to, large cap funds, mid cap funds, small cap funds, growth-oriented funds, value-oriented funds, international equity funds, emerging market equity funds, real return funds and funds that invest in real estate-related securities, including REITs. The fund may also invest in inflation-hedging positions that fall under the broader asset categories listed above.
The fund is designed for investors expecting to retire around 2035. The fund’s asset-mix has been designed on the expectation that investors will begin to withdraw assets from the fund during 2035 and assume a retirement age of 65. The fund generally seeks to maintain a static target allocation (the “Target Allocation”) to asset classes in accordance with its glide path, as described below. The fund’s sub-adviser, Wilshire Advisors LLC (the “sub-adviser” or “Wilshire”), may periodically adjust target asset class allocations in accordance with its investment process and, in the view of
29

Wilshire, to appropriately position the fund in response to changing market environments. However, Wilshire may tactically over-weight or underweight asset classes at any time during the glide path period. This means at any time the fund’s asset mix may differ from the Target Allocation.
The fund’s current Target Allocation for domestic equity, foreign equity, fixed-income, and real estate is shown in the table below. Due to rounding, the sum of the allocations may not equal 100%.

It is not possible to predict the extent to which the fund will be invested in a particular underlying fund or ETF at any time. The fund may be a significant shareholder in certain underlying funds or ETFs.
Each underlying fund and ETF has its own investment objective, principal investment strategies and investment risks. The sub-adviser for each underlying fund and adviser or sub-adviser for each underlying ETF decides which securities to purchase and sell for that underlying fund or ETF. The fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds and ETFs.
The “Underlying Funds” section of the prospectus lists the underlying Transamerica Funds currently available for investment by the fund, provides a summary of their respective investment objectives and principal investment strategies, and identifies certain risks of those funds.
The investment manager may change the available underlying Transamerica Funds, and the sub-adviser may change the fund’s asset allocations and underlying funds and ETFs, at any time without notice to shareholders and without shareholder approval.
Glide Path Period
Over time, the Target Allocation to asset classes will normally change according to a predetermined “glide path.” The glide path represents the shifting of these asset classes over time. Rebalancing and de-risking of the glide path will generally occur annually. The glide path is detailed in the chart below (note that “0” represents the fund’s target date and that the fund is currently “-13” years before its target date):
During the time that the fund’s Target Allocation tracks the glide path, the fund’s asset mix will gradually become more conservative until approximately 2035 at which time the Target Allocation will become static. This reflects the goal of pursuing the highest total return, consistent with a reasonable amount of risk, during the investor’s pre-retirement and early retirement years. By following these investment strategies both before and after the fund reaches its target date, the fund seeks to reduce the likelihood that an investor will experience a significant loss of capital at a more advanced age.
The Target Allocation reflected in the glide path is a “neutral” allocation, which does not reflect tactical decisions made by Wilshire to overweight or underweight a particular asset class. From time to time, Wilshire may make tactical increases or decreases to the fund’s investment in a particular asset class beyond the Target Allocation, based on a broad range of market and economic trends and quantitative factors. Wilshire may also allow the relative weightings of the fund’s investments in asset classes to vary from its Target Allocation in response to the markets. When varying exposures among underlying funds and/or ETFs, Wilshire will examine, among other things, relative values and prospects among the underlying funds and/or ETFs’ asset classes, as well as the capacity of the underlying funds and/or ETFs to absorb additional cash flow.
Static Allocation Period
The fund’s Target Allocation will become static at the target date. At that time, when the fund’s Target Allocation will match the Target Allocation of Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income (the “Retirement Fund”), the fund’s Board of Trustees may combine the fund with the Retirement Fund without shareholder approval, and the fund’s shareholders will become shareholders of the Retirement Fund. This combination would occur approximately in the year 2035. This combination is currently expected to be tax-free under current law. Shareholders will be provided with additional information at that time. The Retirement Fund’s Target Allocation is currently 59% fixed-income, 26% domestic equity, 12% foreign equity, and 3% real estate. Wilshire may tactically overweight or underweight asset classes in the fund during the Static Allocation Period and in the Retirement Fund at any time.
Principal Risks: Risk is inherent in all investing. Many factors and risks affect the fund's performance, including those described below. The value of your investment in the fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly
30

day to day and over time. You may lose part or all of your investment in the fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. In addition, you may experience losses near, at or after the target date. You should not rely solely on the target date when choosing to invest in the fund or deciding to remain invested in the fund. You should consider the fund’s investment strategies over the whole life of the fund. Unlike many other target retirement date funds, the fund may not follow the Target Allocation indicated by the glide path. There is no assurance that the fund will provide sufficient retirement income at and after the target date. The fund, through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs, is subject to the risks of the underlying funds and ETFs. The following is a summary description of principal risks (in alphabetical order after certain key risks) of investing in the fund (either directly and/or through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs). Each risk described below may not apply to each underlying fund or ETF and an underlying fund or ETF may be subject to additional or different risks than those described below. An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.You may lose money if you invest in this fund.
Market – The market prices of the fund’s securities or other assets may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, inflation, changes in interest rates, governmental actions or interventions, actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve or foreign central banks, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes or other factors, political developments, investor sentiment, the global and domestic effects of a pandemic, and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. If the market prices of the fund’s securities and assets fall, the value of your investment will go down.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, public health events (such as the spread of infectious disease), wars, terrorism, cybersecurity events, technology and data interruptions, natural disasters, and other circumstances in one or more countries or regions could be highly disruptive to, and have profound impacts on, global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments may go down.
The pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in extreme volatility in the financial markets, a domestic and global economic downturn, severe losses, particularly to some sectors of the economy and individual issuers, and reduced liquidity of many instruments. There also have been significant disruptions to business operations, including business closures; strained healthcare systems; disruptions to supply chains and employee availability; large fluctuations in consumer demand; and widespread uncertainty regarding the duration and long-term effects of the pandemic. The domestic and global economic downturn may be prolonged. The pandemic may result in domestic and foreign political and social instability, damage to diplomatic and international
trade relations, and continued volatility and/or decreased liquidity in the securities markets. Developing or emerging market countries may be more impacted by the pandemic.
The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve, as well as certain foreign governments and central banks, have taken extraordinary actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including by pushing interest rates to very low levels. This and other government intervention into the economy and financial markets to address the pandemic may not work as intended, particularly if the efforts are perceived by investors as being unlikely to achieve the desired results. Government actions to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic have resulted in large expansion of government deficits and debt, the long-term consequences of which are not known. Rates of inflation have recently risen, which could adversely affect economies and markets.
The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to adversely affect the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments, impair the fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the fund’s performance. In addition, the pandemic, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the fund by its service providers.
Underlying Exchange-Traded Funds – To the extent the fund invests its assets in underlying ETFs, its ability to achieve its investment objective will depend in part on the performance of the underlying ETFs in which it invests. Investing in underlying ETFs subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those ETFs. Each of the underlying ETFs in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying ETFs’ shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying ETF will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying ETFs in which it invests.
Underlying Funds Because the fund invests its assets in various underlying funds, its ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds in which it invests. Investing in underlying funds subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those underlying funds. Each of the underlying funds in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying funds' shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying fund will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. The “List and Description of Certain Underlying Funds” section of the fund's prospectus identifies certain risks of each underlying fund.
Asset Allocation – The fund’s investment performance is significantly impacted by the fund’s asset allocation and reallocation from time to time. The sub-adviser's decisions whether and when to tactically overweight or underweight asset classes and select a mix of underlying funds may not produce the desired results. These actions may be unsuccessful in maximizing return and/or avoiding investment losses. The value of your investment may decrease if the sub-adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular asset class, investment style, technique or strategy, underlying fund or other issuer is incorrect. The
31

sub-adviser may favor an asset class that performs poorly relative to other asset classes. The available underlying funds selected by the sub-adviser may underperform the market or similar funds.
Equity Securities – Equity securities generally have greater risk of loss than debt securities. Stock markets are volatile and the value of equity securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of equity securities fluctuates based on real or perceived changes in a company’s financial condition, factors affecting a particular industry or industries, and overall market, economic and political conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the fund fall, the value of your investment in the fund will decline. The fund may lose its entire investment in the equity securities of an issuer. A change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer may adversely impact securities markets as a whole.
Fixed-Income Securities – Risks of fixed-income securities include credit risk, interest rate risk, counterparty risk, prepayment risk, extension risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk. The value of fixed-income securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, tariffs and trade disruptions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In addition, the value of a fixed-income security may decline if the issuer or other obligor of the security fails to pay principal and/or interest, otherwise defaults or has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines. If the value of fixed-income securities owned by the fund falls, the value of your investment will go down. The fund may lose its entire investment in the fixed-income securities of an issuer.
Inflation – The value of assets or income from investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the fund’s assets can decline as can the value of the fund’s distributions.
Management – The value of your investment may go down if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's judgments and decisions are incorrect or otherwise do not produce the desired results, or if the investment strategy does not work as intended. You may also suffer losses if there are imperfections, errors or limitations in the quantitative, analytic or other tools, resources, information and data used, investment techniques applied, or the analyses employed or relied on, by the investment manageror sub-adviser, if such tools, resources, information or data are used incorrectly or otherwise do not work as intended, or if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's investment style is out of favor or otherwise fails to produce the desired results. Any of these things could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.
Counterparty – The fund could lose money if the counterparties to derivatives, repurchase agreements and other financial contracts entered into for the fund do not fulfill their contractual obligations. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against a counterparty.
Credit – If an issuer or other obligor (such as a party providing insurance or other credit enhancement) of a security held by the fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the fund is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations, or is downgraded
or perceived to be less creditworthy (whether by market participants or otherwise), or if the value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. A decline may be significant, particularly in certain market environments. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against an issuer, obligor or counterparty.
Currency – The value of a fund’s investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increases or decreases as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by currency risk. Currency exchange rates can be volatile and may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could reduce or eliminate investment gains or add to investment losses. A fund may be unable or may choose not to hedge its foreign currency exposure.
Derivatives – The use of derivatives involves a variety of risks, which may be different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Risks of derivatives include leverage risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, market risk, counterparty risk, credit risk, operational risk and legal risk. Use of derivatives can increase fund losses, increase costs, reduce opportunities for gains, increase fund volatility, and not produce the result intended. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. Even a small investment in derivatives can have a disproportionate impact on the fund. Derivatives may be difficult or impossible to sell, unwind or value, and the counterparty (including, if applicable, the fund’s clearing broker, the derivatives exchange or the clearinghouse) may default on its obligations to the fund. In certain cases, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against or closing out derivatives instruments with a counterparty, which may result in additional losses. Derivatives are also generally subject to the risks applicable to the assets, rates, indices or other indicators underlying the derivative, including market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, management and valuation risk. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances or at reasonable prices. The value of a derivative may fluctuate more or less than, or otherwise not correlate well with, the underlying assets, rates, indices or other indicators to which it relates. The fund may, under the current asset segregation and coverage regulatory framework, be required to segregate or earmark liquid assets or otherwise cover its obligations under derivatives transactions and may have to liquidate positions before it is desirable in order to meet these segregation and coverage requirements. The SEC has adopted new Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for the use of derivatives by registered investment companies and set limits on a fund’s investments in derivatives. Compliance with Rule 18f-4 is not required until August 2022, but the rule may impact the fund’s use of derivatives before that date. Rule 18f-4 could have an adverse impact on the fund’s performance and its ability to implement its investment strategies as it has historically.
Emerging Markets – Investments in securities of issuers located or doing business in emerging markets are subject to heightened foreign investments risks and may experience rapid and extreme changes in value. Emerging market countries tend to have less developed and less stable economic, political and legal systems and regulatory and accounting standards, may have policies that
32

restrict investment by foreigners or that prevent foreign investors such as the fund from withdrawing their money at will, and are more likely to experience nationalization, expropriation and confiscatory taxation. In addition, emerging market securities may have low trading volumes and may be or become illiquid.
Extension – When interest rates rise, repayments of fixed-income securities, including asset- and mortgage-backed securities, may occur more slowly than anticipated, causing their market prices to decline.
Focused Investing – To the extent the fund invests in a limited number of countries, regions, sectors, industries or market segments, in a limited number of issuers, or in issuers in related businesses or that are subject to related operating risks, the fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those countries, regions, sectors, industries, segments or issuers, and the value of its shares may be more volatile than if it invested more widely.
Foreign Investments – Investing in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involves additional risks. Foreign markets can be less liquid, less regulated, less transparent and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the fund’s foreign investments may decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of government or central bank support, tariffs and trade disruptions, sanctions, political or financial instability, social unrest or other adverse economic or political developments. Foreign investments may also be subject to different accounting practices and different regulatory, legal, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping standards and practices, and may be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers.
Growth Stocks – Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with returns on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks typically are particularly sensitive to market movements and may involve larger price swings because their market prices tend to reflect future expectations. When it appears those expectations may not be met, the prices of growth securities typically fall. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.
High-Yield Debt Securities – High-yield debt securities, commonly referred to as “junk” bonds, are securities that are rated below “investment grade” or are of comparable quality. Changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers, the creditworthiness of the issuers and negative perceptions of the junk bond market generally may significantly affect the value of these bonds. Junk bonds are considered speculative, tend to be volatile, typically have a higher risk of default, tend to be less liquid and more difficult to value than higher grade securities, and may result in losses for the fund.
Inflation-Protected Securities – Inflation-protected debt securities may react differently from other types of debt securities and tend to react to changes in “real” interest rates, which represent nominal (stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In general, the price of an inflation-protected debt security can fall when real interest rates rise, and can rise when real interest
rates fall. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable and will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation.
Interest Rate – Interest rates in the U.S. and certain foreign markets have been low relative to historic levels. The fund faces a risk that interest rates may rise. The value of fixed-income securities generally goes down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. Changes in interest rates also may affect the liquidity of the fund’s investments. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to sell fixed-income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities generally and could also result in increased redemptions from the fund. Increased redemptions could cause the fund to sell securities at inopportune times or depressed prices and result in further losses.
Large Capitalization Companies – The fund’s investments in larger, more established companies may underperform other segments of the market because they may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
Leveraging – To the extent that the fund borrows or uses derivatives or other investments, such as ETFs, that have embedded leverage, your investment may be subject to heightened volatility, risk of loss and costs. Other risks also will be compounded because leverage generally magnifies the effect of a change in the value of an asset and creates a risk of loss of value on a larger pool of assets than the fund would otherwise have. Use of leverage may result in the loss of a substantial amount, and possibly all, of the fund’s assets. The fund also may have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation, coverage or margin requirements.
Liquidity – The fund may make investments that are illiquid or that become illiquid after purchase. Illiquid investments can be difficult to value, may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid investments, and may be subject to wide fluctuations in value. If the fund is forced to sell an illiquid investment to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the fund may be forced to sell at a substantial loss or may not be able to sell at all. Liquidity of particular investments, or even entire asset classes, including U.S. Treasury securities, can deteriorate rapidly, particularly during times of market turmoil, and those investments may be difficult or impossible for the fund to sell. This may prevent the fund from limiting losses.
Mortgage-Related and Asset-Backed Securities – The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid, which could negatively impact the fund. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property. Asset-backed securities represent participations in, or are secured by and payable from, assets such as installment sales or loan contracts, leases, credit card receivables and other categories of receivables. The value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be affected by changes in credit quality or value of the mortgage loans or other assets that support
33

the securities. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment or call and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets.
Prepayment or Call – Many issuers have a right to prepay their fixed-income securities. If this happens, the fund will not benefit from the rise in the market price of the securities that normally accompanies a decline in interest rates and may be forced to reinvest the prepayment proceeds in securities with lower yields.
Real Estate Securities – Investments in the real estate industry are subject to risks associated with direct investment in real estate. These risks include declines in the value of real estate, adverse general and local economic conditions, increased competition, overbuilding and changes in laws and regulations affecting real estate, operating expenses, property taxes and interest rates. If the fund’s real estate-related investments are concentrated in one geographic area or one property type, the fund will also be subject to the risks associated with that one area or property type. The value of the fund’s real estate-related securities will not necessarily track the value of the underlying investments of the issuers of such securities.
REITs – Investing in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) involves unique risks. When the fund invests in REITs, it is subject to risks generally associated with investing in real estate. A REIT’s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns, how well it manages those properties and cash flow. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, may engage in dilutive offerings, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. In addition to its own expenses, the fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management and other expenses paid by REITs in which it invests. U.S. REITs are subject to a number of highly technical tax-related rules and requirements; and a U.S. REIT’s failure to qualify for the favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment generally available to U.S. REITs could result in corporate-level taxation, significantly reducing the return on an investment to the fund.
Small and Medium Capitalization Companies – The fund will be exposed to additional risks as a result of its investments in the securities of small or medium capitalization companies. Small or medium capitalization companies may be more at risk than large capitalization companies because, among other things, they may have limited product lines, operating history, market or financial resources, or because they may depend on a limited management group. Securities of small and medium capitalization companies may be more volatile than and may underperform large capitalization companies, may be harder to sell at times and at prices the portfolio managers believe appropriate and may offer greater potential for losses.
Valuation – The sales price the fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the fund's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets, that are priced based upon valuations provided by third party pricing services that use matrix or evaluated pricing systems, or that are valued using a fair value methodology. These differences may increase significantly and affect fund investments more broadly during periods of market volatility. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower
or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the fund had not fair-valued securities or had used a different valuation methodology. The fund’s ability to value its investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third party service providers.
Value Investing – The prices of securities the sub-adviser believes are undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated or may go down. The value approach to investing involves the risk that stocks may remain undervalued, undervaluation may become more severe, or perceived undervaluation may actually represent intrinsic value. Value stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “growth” stocks.
Performance: The bar chart and the table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The bar chart shows how the fund’s performance has varied from year to year. The table shows how the fund’s average annual total returns for different periods compare to the returns of a broad measure of market performance.
Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would be lower.
As with all mutual funds, past performance (before and after taxes) is not a prediction of future results. Updated performance information is available on our website at www.transamerica.com/investments-fund-center or by calling 1-888-233-4339.
Prior to December 6, 2021, the fund had a different sub-adviser, a different investment objective and used different investment strategies. The performance set forth prior to that date is attributable to that previous sub-adviser.

Contractual arrangements have been made with the fund’s investment manager, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), through March 1, 2025 to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses to the extent that total annual fund operating expenses exceed 0.55% for Class R6 shares, 1.20% for Class R1 shares and 0.95% for Class R3 shares, excluding, as applicable, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on securities sold short, extraordinary expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business. These arrangements cannot be terminated prior to March 1, 2025 without the Board of Trustees’ consent. TAM is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class during any of the 36 months from the date on which TAM waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the class if the class’ total annual fund operating expenses have fallen to a level below the limits described above. In no case will TAM recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the fund, in the class’ total annual operating expenses exceeding the applicable limits described above or any other lower limit then in effect.
Example: This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Only the 1 year dollar amount shown below reflects TAM's agreement to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover: The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate for the fund was 6% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies:
The fund is a fund of funds – it invests in a combination of actively managed Transamerica funds (“funds”) and index-based exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) managed by unaffiliated investment advisers.
The fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing normally in a combination of underlying funds and ETFs representing a variety of broad asset classes – including fixed-income, domestic equity, foreign equity, and real estate – and investment styles and focuses. Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may include funds that invest primarily in investment grade fixed-income securities, TIPS, or in high yield, high risk fixed-income securities rated below investment grade (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may invest in U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including corporate, mortgage- and asset-backed, government and emerging markets debt securities. Underlying equity funds and ETFs may include, but are not limited to, large cap funds, mid cap funds, small cap funds, growth-oriented funds, value-oriented funds, international equity funds, emerging market equity funds, real return funds and funds that invest in real estate-related securities, including REITs. The fund may also invest in inflation-hedging positions that fall under the broader asset categories listed above.
The fund is designed for investors expecting to retire around 2040. The fund’s asset-mix has been designed on the expectation that investors will begin to withdraw assets from the fund during 2040 and assume a retirement age of 65. The fund generally seeks to maintain a static target allocation (the “Target Allocation”) to asset classes in accordance with its glide path, as described below. The fund’s sub-adviser, Wilshire Advisors LLC (the “sub-adviser” or “Wilshire”), may periodically adjust target asset class allocations in accordance with its investment process and, in the view of
36

Wilshire, to appropriately position the fund in response to changing market environments. However, Wilshire may tactically over-weight or underweight asset classes at any time during the glide path period. This means at any time the fund’s asset mix may differ from the Target Allocation.
The fund’s current Target Allocation for domestic equity, foreign equity, fixed-income, and real estate is shown in the table below.

It is not possible to predict the extent to which the fund will be invested in a particular underlying fund or ETF at any time. The fund may be a significant shareholder in certain underlying funds or ETFs.
Each underlying fund and ETF has its own investment objective, principal investment strategies and investment risks. The sub-adviser for each underlying fund and adviser or sub-adviser for each underlying ETF decides which securities to purchase and sell for that underlying fund or ETF. The fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds and ETFs.
The “Underlying Funds” section of the prospectus lists the underlying Transamerica Funds currently available for investment by the fund, provides a summary of their respective investment objectives and principal investment strategies, and identifies certain risks of those funds.
The investment manager may change the available underlying Transamerica Funds, and the sub-adviser may change the fund’s asset allocations and underlying funds and ETFs, at any time without notice to shareholders and without shareholder approval.
Glide Path Period
Over time, the Target Allocation to asset classes will normally change according to a predetermined “glide path.” The glide path represents the shifting of these asset classes over time. Rebalancing and de-risking of the glide path will generally occur annually. The glide path is detailed in the chart below (note that “0” represents the fund’s target date and that the fund is currently “-18” years before its target date):
During the time that the fund’s Target Allocation tracks the glide path, the fund’s asset mix will gradually become more conservative until approximately 2040 at which time the Target Allocation will become static. This reflects the goal of pursuing the highest total return, consistent with a reasonable amount of risk, during the investor’s pre-retirement and early retirement years. By following these investment strategies both before and after the fund reaches its target date, the fund seeks to reduce the likelihood that an investor will experience a significant loss of capital at a more advanced age.
The Target Allocation reflected in the glide path is a “neutral” allocation, which does not reflect tactical decisions made by Wilshire to overweight or underweight a particular asset class. From time to time, Wilshire may make tactical increases or decreases to the fund’s investment in a particular asset class beyond the Target Allocation, based on a broad range of market and economic trends and quantitative factors. Wilshire may also allow the relative weightings of the fund’s investments in asset classes to vary from its Target Allocation in response to the markets. When varying exposures among underlying funds and/or ETFs, Wilshire will examine, among other things, relative values and prospects among the underlying funds and/or ETFs’ asset classes, as well as the capacity of the underlying funds and/or ETFs to absorb additional cash flow.
Static Allocation Period
The fund’s Target Allocation will become static at the target date. At that time, when the fund’s Target Allocation will match the Target Allocation of Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income (the “Retirement Fund”), the fund’s Board of Trustees may combine the fund with the Retirement Fund without shareholder approval, and the fund’s shareholders will become shareholders of the Retirement Fund. This combination would occur approximately in the year 2040. This combination is currently expected to be tax-free under current law. Shareholders will be provided with additional information at that time. The Retirement Fund’s Target Allocation is currently 59% fixed-income, 26% domestic equity, 12% foreign equity, and 3% real estate. Wilshire may tactically overweight or underweight asset classes in the fund during the Static Allocation Period and in the Retirement Fund at any time.
Principal Risks: Risk is inherent in all investing. Many factors and risks affect the fund's performance, including those described below. The value of your investment in the fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly
37

day to day and over time. You may lose part or all of your investment in the fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. In addition, you may experience losses near, at or after the target date. You should not rely solely on the target date when choosing to invest in the fund or deciding to remain invested in the fund. You should consider the fund’s investment strategies over the whole life of the fund. Unlike many other target retirement date funds, the fund may not follow the Target Allocation indicated by the glide path. There is no assurance that the fund will provide sufficient retirement income at and after the target date. The fund, through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs, is subject to the risks of the underlying funds and ETFs. The following is a summary description of principal risks (in alphabetical order after certain key risks) of investing in the fund (either directly and/or through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs). Each risk described below may not apply to each underlying fund or ETF and an underlying fund or ETF may be subject to additional or different risks than those described below. An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.You may lose money if you invest in this fund.
Market – The market prices of the fund’s securities or other assets may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, inflation, changes in interest rates, governmental actions or interventions, actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve or foreign central banks, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes or other factors, political developments, investor sentiment, the global and domestic effects of a pandemic, and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. If the market prices of the fund’s securities and assets fall, the value of your investment will go down.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, public health events (such as the spread of infectious disease), wars, terrorism, cybersecurity events, technology and data interruptions, natural disasters, and other circumstances in one or more countries or regions could be highly disruptive to, and have profound impacts on, global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments may go down.
The pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in extreme volatility in the financial markets, a domestic and global economic downturn, severe losses, particularly to some sectors of the economy and individual issuers, and reduced liquidity of many instruments. There also have been significant disruptions to business operations, including business closures; strained healthcare systems; disruptions to supply chains and employee availability; large fluctuations in consumer demand; and widespread uncertainty regarding the duration and long-term effects of the pandemic. The domestic and global economic downturn may be prolonged. The pandemic may result in domestic and foreign political and social instability, damage to diplomatic and international
trade relations, and continued volatility and/or decreased liquidity in the securities markets. Developing or emerging market countries may be more impacted by the pandemic.
The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve, as well as certain foreign governments and central banks, have taken extraordinary actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including by pushing interest rates to very low levels. This and other government intervention into the economy and financial markets to address the pandemic may not work as intended, particularly if the efforts are perceived by investors as being unlikely to achieve the desired results. Government actions to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic have resulted in large expansion of government deficits and debt, the long-term consequences of which are not known. Rates of inflation have recently risen, which could adversely affect economies and markets.
The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to adversely affect the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments, impair the fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the fund’s performance. In addition, the pandemic, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the fund by its service providers.
Underlying Exchange-Traded Funds – To the extent the fund invests its assets in underlying ETFs, its ability to achieve its investment objective will depend in part on the performance of the underlying ETFs in which it invests. Investing in underlying ETFs subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those ETFs. Each of the underlying ETFs in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying ETFs’ shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying ETF will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying ETFs in which it invests.
Underlying Funds Because the fund invests its assets in various underlying funds, its ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds in which it invests. Investing in underlying funds subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those underlying funds. Each of the underlying funds in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying funds' shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying fund will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. The “List and Description of Certain Underlying Funds” section of the fund's prospectus identifies certain risks of each underlying fund.
Asset Allocation – The fund’s investment performance is significantly impacted by the fund’s asset allocation and reallocation from time to time. The sub-adviser's decisions whether and when to tactically overweight or underweight asset classes and select a mix of underlying funds may not produce the desired results. These actions may be unsuccessful in maximizing return and/or avoiding investment losses. The value of your investment may decrease if the sub-adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular asset class, investment style, technique or strategy, underlying fund or other issuer is incorrect. The
38

sub-adviser may favor an asset class that performs poorly relative to other asset classes. The available underlying funds selected by the sub-adviser may underperform the market or similar funds.
Equity Securities – Equity securities generally have greater risk of loss than debt securities. Stock markets are volatile and the value of equity securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of equity securities fluctuates based on real or perceived changes in a company’s financial condition, factors affecting a particular industry or industries, and overall market, economic and political conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the fund fall, the value of your investment in the fund will decline. The fund may lose its entire investment in the equity securities of an issuer. A change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer may adversely impact securities markets as a whole.
Fixed-Income Securities – Risks of fixed-income securities include credit risk, interest rate risk, counterparty risk, prepayment risk, extension risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk. The value of fixed-income securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, tariffs and trade disruptions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In addition, the value of a fixed-income security may decline if the issuer or other obligor of the security fails to pay principal and/or interest, otherwise defaults or has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines. If the value of fixed-income securities owned by the fund falls, the value of your investment will go down. The fund may lose its entire investment in the fixed-income securities of an issuer.
Inflation – The value of assets or income from investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the fund’s assets can decline as can the value of the fund’s distributions.
Management – The value of your investment may go down if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's judgments and decisions are incorrect or otherwise do not produce the desired results, or if the investment strategy does not work as intended. You may also suffer losses if there are imperfections, errors or limitations in the quantitative, analytic or other tools, resources, information and data used, investment techniques applied, or the analyses employed or relied on, by the investment manageror sub-adviser, if such tools, resources, information or data are used incorrectly or otherwise do not work as intended, or if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's investment style is out of favor or otherwise fails to produce the desired results. Any of these things could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.
Counterparty – The fund could lose money if the counterparties to derivatives, repurchase agreements and other financial contracts entered into for the fund do not fulfill their contractual obligations. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against a counterparty.
Credit – If an issuer or other obligor (such as a party providing insurance or other credit enhancement) of a security held by the fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the fund is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations, or is downgraded
or perceived to be less creditworthy (whether by market participants or otherwise), or if the value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. A decline may be significant, particularly in certain market environments. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against an issuer, obligor or counterparty.
Currency – The value of a fund’s investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increases or decreases as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by currency risk. Currency exchange rates can be volatile and may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could reduce or eliminate investment gains or add to investment losses. A fund may be unable or may choose not to hedge its foreign currency exposure.
Derivatives – The use of derivatives involves a variety of risks, which may be different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Risks of derivatives include leverage risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, market risk, counterparty risk, credit risk, operational risk and legal risk. Use of derivatives can increase fund losses, increase costs, reduce opportunities for gains, increase fund volatility, and not produce the result intended. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. Even a small investment in derivatives can have a disproportionate impact on the fund. Derivatives may be difficult or impossible to sell, unwind or value, and the counterparty (including, if applicable, the fund’s clearing broker, the derivatives exchange or the clearinghouse) may default on its obligations to the fund. In certain cases, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against or closing out derivatives instruments with a counterparty, which may result in additional losses. Derivatives are also generally subject to the risks applicable to the assets, rates, indices or other indicators underlying the derivative, including market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, management and valuation risk. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances or at reasonable prices. The value of a derivative may fluctuate more or less than, or otherwise not correlate well with, the underlying assets, rates, indices or other indicators to which it relates. The fund may, under the current asset segregation and coverage regulatory framework, be required to segregate or earmark liquid assets or otherwise cover its obligations under derivatives transactions and may have to liquidate positions before it is desirable in order to meet these segregation and coverage requirements. The SEC has adopted new Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for the use of derivatives by registered investment companies and set limits on a fund’s investments in derivatives. Compliance with Rule 18f-4 is not required until August 2022, but the rule may impact the fund’s use of derivatives before that date. Rule 18f-4 could have an adverse impact on the fund’s performance and its ability to implement its investment strategies as it has historically.
Emerging Markets – Investments in securities of issuers located or doing business in emerging markets are subject to heightened foreign investments risks and may experience rapid and extreme changes in value. Emerging market countries tend to have less developed and less stable economic, political and legal systems and regulatory and accounting standards, may have policies that
39

restrict investment by foreigners or that prevent foreign investors such as the fund from withdrawing their money at will, and are more likely to experience nationalization, expropriation and confiscatory taxation. In addition, emerging market securities may have low trading volumes and may be or become illiquid.
Extension – When interest rates rise, repayments of fixed-income securities, including asset- and mortgage-backed securities, may occur more slowly than anticipated, causing their market prices to decline.
Focused Investing – To the extent the fund invests in a limited number of countries, regions, sectors, industries or market segments, in a limited number of issuers, or in issuers in related businesses or that are subject to related operating risks, the fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those countries, regions, sectors, industries, segments or issuers, and the value of its shares may be more volatile than if it invested more widely.
Foreign Investments – Investing in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involves additional risks. Foreign markets can be less liquid, less regulated, less transparent and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the fund’s foreign investments may decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of government or central bank support, tariffs and trade disruptions, sanctions, political or financial instability, social unrest or other adverse economic or political developments. Foreign investments may also be subject to different accounting practices and different regulatory, legal, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping standards and practices, and may be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers.
Growth Stocks – Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with returns on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks typically are particularly sensitive to market movements and may involve larger price swings because their market prices tend to reflect future expectations. When it appears those expectations may not be met, the prices of growth securities typically fall. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.
High-Yield Debt Securities – High-yield debt securities, commonly referred to as “junk” bonds, are securities that are rated below “investment grade” or are of comparable quality. Changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers, the creditworthiness of the issuers and negative perceptions of the junk bond market generally may significantly affect the value of these bonds. Junk bonds are considered speculative, tend to be volatile, typically have a higher risk of default, tend to be less liquid and more difficult to value than higher grade securities, and may result in losses for the fund.
Inflation-Protected Securities – Inflation-protected debt securities may react differently from other types of debt securities and tend to react to changes in “real” interest rates, which represent nominal (stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In general, the price of an inflation-protected debt security can fall when real interest rates rise, and can rise when real interest
rates fall. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable and will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation.
Interest Rate – Interest rates in the U.S. and certain foreign markets have been low relative to historic levels. The fund faces a risk that interest rates may rise. The value of fixed-income securities generally goes down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. Changes in interest rates also may affect the liquidity of the fund’s investments. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to sell fixed-income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities generally and could also result in increased redemptions from the fund. Increased redemptions could cause the fund to sell securities at inopportune times or depressed prices and result in further losses.
Large Capitalization Companies – The fund’s investments in larger, more established companies may underperform other segments of the market because they may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
Leveraging – To the extent that the fund borrows or uses derivatives or other investments, such as ETFs, that have embedded leverage, your investment may be subject to heightened volatility, risk of loss and costs. Other risks also will be compounded because leverage generally magnifies the effect of a change in the value of an asset and creates a risk of loss of value on a larger pool of assets than the fund would otherwise have. Use of leverage may result in the loss of a substantial amount, and possibly all, of the fund’s assets. The fund also may have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation, coverage or margin requirements.
Liquidity – The fund may make investments that are illiquid or that become illiquid after purchase. Illiquid investments can be difficult to value, may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid investments, and may be subject to wide fluctuations in value. If the fund is forced to sell an illiquid investment to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the fund may be forced to sell at a substantial loss or may not be able to sell at all. Liquidity of particular investments, or even entire asset classes, including U.S. Treasury securities, can deteriorate rapidly, particularly during times of market turmoil, and those investments may be difficult or impossible for the fund to sell. This may prevent the fund from limiting losses.
Mortgage-Related and Asset-Backed Securities – The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid, which could negatively impact the fund. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property. Asset-backed securities represent participations in, or are secured by and payable from, assets such as installment sales or loan contracts, leases, credit card receivables and other categories of receivables. The value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be affected by changes in credit quality or value of the mortgage loans or other assets that support
40

the securities. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment or call and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets.
Prepayment or Call – Many issuers have a right to prepay their fixed-income securities. If this happens, the fund will not benefit from the rise in the market price of the securities that normally accompanies a decline in interest rates and may be forced to reinvest the prepayment proceeds in securities with lower yields.
Real Estate Securities – Investments in the real estate industry are subject to risks associated with direct investment in real estate. These risks include declines in the value of real estate, adverse general and local economic conditions, increased competition, overbuilding and changes in laws and regulations affecting real estate, operating expenses, property taxes and interest rates. If the fund’s real estate-related investments are concentrated in one geographic area or one property type, the fund will also be subject to the risks associated with that one area or property type. The value of the fund’s real estate-related securities will not necessarily track the value of the underlying investments of the issuers of such securities.
REITs – Investing in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) involves unique risks. When the fund invests in REITs, it is subject to risks generally associated with investing in real estate. A REIT’s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns, how well it manages those properties and cash flow. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, may engage in dilutive offerings, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. In addition to its own expenses, the fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management and other expenses paid by REITs in which it invests. U.S. REITs are subject to a number of highly technical tax-related rules and requirements; and a U.S. REIT’s failure to qualify for the favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment generally available to U.S. REITs could result in corporate-level taxation, significantly reducing the return on an investment to the fund.
Small and Medium Capitalization Companies – The fund will be exposed to additional risks as a result of its investments in the securities of small or medium capitalization companies. Small or medium capitalization companies may be more at risk than large capitalization companies because, among other things, they may have limited product lines, operating history, market or financial resources, or because they may depend on a limited management group. Securities of small and medium capitalization companies may be more volatile than and may underperform large capitalization companies, may be harder to sell at times and at prices the portfolio managers believe appropriate and may offer greater potential for losses.
Valuation – The sales price the fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the fund's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets, that are priced based upon valuations provided by third party pricing services that use matrix or evaluated pricing systems, or that are valued using a fair value methodology. These differences may increase significantly and affect fund investments more broadly during periods of market volatility. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower
or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the fund had not fair-valued securities or had used a different valuation methodology. The fund’s ability to value its investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third party service providers.
Value Investing – The prices of securities the sub-adviser believes are undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated or may go down. The value approach to investing involves the risk that stocks may remain undervalued, undervaluation may become more severe, or perceived undervaluation may actually represent intrinsic value. Value stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “growth” stocks.
Performance: The bar chart and the table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The bar chart shows how the fund’s performance has varied from year to year. The table shows how the fund’s average annual total returns for different periods compare to the returns of a broad measure of market performance.
Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would be lower.
As with all mutual funds, past performance (before and after taxes) is not a prediction of future results. Updated performance information is available on our website at www.transamerica.com/investments-fund-center or by calling 1-888-233-4339.
Prior to December 6, 2021, the fund had a different sub-adviser, a different investment objective and used different investment strategies. The performance set forth prior to that date is attributable to that previous sub-adviser.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries: If you purchase the fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary, the fund and/or its affiliates may pay the intermediary for the sale of fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Contractual arrangements have been made with the fund’s investment manager, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), through March 1, 2025 to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses to the extent that total annual fund operating expenses exceed 0.55% for Class R6 shares, 1.20% for Class R1 shares and 0.95% for Class R3 shares, excluding, as applicable, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on securities sold short, extraordinary expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business. These arrangements cannot be terminated prior to March 1, 2025 without the Board of Trustees’ consent. TAM is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class during any of the 36 months from the date on which TAM waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the class if the class’ total annual fund operating expenses have fallen to a level below the limits described above. In no case will TAM recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the fund, in the class’ total annual operating expenses exceeding the applicable limits described above or any other lower limit then in effect.
Example: This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Only the 1 year dollar amount shown below reflects TAM's agreement to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover: The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate for the fund was 5% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies:
The fund is a fund of funds – it invests in a combination of actively managed Transamerica funds (“funds”) and index-based exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) managed by unaffiliated investment advisers.
The fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing normally in a combination of underlying funds and ETFs representing a variety of broad asset classes – including fixed-income, domestic equity, foreign equity, and real estate – and investment styles and focuses. Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may include funds that invest primarily in investment grade fixed-income securities, TIPS, or in high yield, high risk fixed-income securities rated below investment grade (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may invest in U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including corporate, mortgage- and asset-backed, government and emerging markets debt securities. Underlying equity funds and ETFs may include, but are not limited to, large cap funds, mid cap funds, small cap funds, growth-oriented funds, value-oriented funds, international equity funds, emerging market equity funds, real return funds and funds that invest in real estate-related securities, including REITs. The fund may also invest in inflation-hedging positions that fall under the broader asset categories listed above.
The fund is designed for investors expecting to retire around 2045. The fund’s asset-mix has been designed on the expectation that investors will begin to withdraw assets from the fund during 2045 and assume a retirement age of 65. The fund generally seeks to maintain a static target allocation (the “Target Allocation”) to asset classes in accordance with its glide path, as described below. The fund’s sub-adviser, Wilshire Advisors LLC (the “sub-adviser” or “Wilshire”), may periodically adjust target asset class allocations in accordance with its investment process and, in the view of
43

Wilshire, to appropriately position the fund in response to changing market environments. However, Wilshire may tactically over-weight or underweight asset classes at any time during the glide path period. This means at any time the fund’s asset mix may differ from the Target Allocation.
The fund’s current Target Allocation for domestic equity, foreign equity, fixed-income, and real estate is shown in the table below.

It is not possible to predict the extent to which the fund will be invested in a particular underlying fund or ETF at any time. The fund may be a significant shareholder in certain underlying funds or ETFs.
Each underlying fund and ETF has its own investment objective, principal investment strategies and investment risks. The sub-adviser for each underlying fund and adviser or sub-adviser for each underlying ETF decides which securities to purchase and sell for that underlying fund or ETF. The fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds and ETFs.
The “Underlying Funds” section of the prospectus lists the underlying Transamerica Funds currently available for investment by the fund, provides a summary of their respective investment objectives and principal investment strategies, and identifies certain risks of those funds.
The investment manager may change the available underlying Transamerica Funds, and the sub-adviser may change the fund’s asset allocations and underlying funds and ETFs, at any time without notice to shareholders and without shareholder approval.
Glide Path Period
Over time, the Target Allocation to asset classes will normally change according to a predetermined “glide path.” The glide path represents the shifting of these asset classes over time. Rebalancing and de-risking of the glide path will generally occur annually. The glide path is detailed in the chart below (note that “0” represents the fund’s target date and that the fund is currently “-23” years before its target date):
During the time that the fund’s Target Allocation tracks the glide path, the fund’s asset mix will gradually become more conservative until approximately 2045 at which time the Target Allocation will become static. This reflects the goal of pursuing the highest total return, consistent with a reasonable amount of risk, during the investor’s pre-retirement and early retirement years. By following these investment strategies both before and after the fund reaches its target date, the fund seeks to reduce the likelihood that an investor will experience a significant loss of capital at a more advanced age.
The Target Allocation reflected in the glide path is a “neutral” allocation, which does not reflect tactical decisions made by Wilshire to overweight or underweight a particular asset class. From time to time, Wilshire may make tactical increases or decreases to the fund’s investment in a particular asset class beyond the Target Allocation, based on a broad range of market and economic trends and quantitative factors. Wilshire may also allow the relative weightings of the fund’s investments in asset classes to vary from its Target Allocation in response to the markets. When varying exposures among underlying funds and/or ETFs, Wilshire will examine, among other things, relative values and prospects among the underlying funds and/or ETFs’ asset classes, as well as the capacity of the underlying funds and/or ETFs to absorb additional cash flow.
Static Allocation Period
The fund’s Target Allocation will become static at the target date. At that time, when the fund’s Target Allocation will match the Target Allocation of Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income (the “Retirement Fund”), the fund’s Board of Trustees may combine the fund with the Retirement Fund without shareholder approval, and the fund’s shareholders will become shareholders of the Retirement Fund. This combination would occur approximately in the year 2045. This combination is currently expected to be tax-free under current law. Shareholders will be provided with additional information at that time. The Retirement Fund’s Target Allocation is currently 59% fixed-income, 26% domestic equity, 12% foreign equity, and 3% real estate. Wilshire may tactically overweight or underweight asset classes in the fund during the Static Allocation Period and in the Retirement Fund at any time.
Principal Risks: Risk is inherent in all investing. Many factors and risks affect the fund's performance, including those described below. The value of your investment in the fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly
44

day to day and over time. You may lose part or all of your investment in the fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. In addition, you may experience losses near, at or after the target date. You should not rely solely on the target date when choosing to invest in the fund or deciding to remain invested in the fund. You should consider the fund’s investment strategies over the whole life of the fund. Unlike many other target retirement date funds, the fund may not follow the Target Allocation indicated by the glide path. There is no assurance that the fund will provide sufficient retirement income at and after the target date. The fund, through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs, is subject to the risks of the underlying funds and ETFs. The following is a summary description of principal risks (in alphabetical order after certain key risks) of investing in the fund (either directly and/or through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs). Each risk described below may not apply to each underlying fund or ETF and an underlying fund or ETF may be subject to additional or different risks than those described below. An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.You may lose money if you invest in this fund.
Market – The market prices of the fund’s securities or other assets may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, inflation, changes in interest rates, governmental actions or interventions, actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve or foreign central banks, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes or other factors, political developments, investor sentiment, the global and domestic effects of a pandemic, and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. If the market prices of the fund’s securities and assets fall, the value of your investment will go down.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, public health events (such as the spread of infectious disease), wars, terrorism, cybersecurity events, technology and data interruptions, natural disasters, and other circumstances in one or more countries or regions could be highly disruptive to, and have profound impacts on, global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments may go down.
The pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in extreme volatility in the financial markets, a domestic and global economic downturn, severe losses, particularly to some sectors of the economy and individual issuers, and reduced liquidity of many instruments. There also have been significant disruptions to business operations, including business closures; strained healthcare systems; disruptions to supply chains and employee availability; large fluctuations in consumer demand; and widespread uncertainty regarding the duration and long-term effects of the pandemic. The domestic and global economic downturn may be prolonged. The pandemic may result in domestic and foreign political and social instability, damage to diplomatic and international
trade relations, and continued volatility and/or decreased liquidity in the securities markets. Developing or emerging market countries may be more impacted by the pandemic.
The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve, as well as certain foreign governments and central banks, have taken extraordinary actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including by pushing interest rates to very low levels. This and other government intervention into the economy and financial markets to address the pandemic may not work as intended, particularly if the efforts are perceived by investors as being unlikely to achieve the desired results. Government actions to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic have resulted in large expansion of government deficits and debt, the long-term consequences of which are not known. Rates of inflation have recently risen, which could adversely affect economies and markets.
The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to adversely affect the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments, impair the fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the fund’s performance. In addition, the pandemic, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the fund by its service providers.
Underlying Exchange-Traded Funds – To the extent the fund invests its assets in underlying ETFs, its ability to achieve its investment objective will depend in part on the performance of the underlying ETFs in which it invests. Investing in underlying ETFs subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those ETFs. Each of the underlying ETFs in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying ETFs’ shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying ETF will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying ETFs in which it invests.
Underlying Funds Because the fund invests its assets in various underlying funds, its ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds in which it invests. Investing in underlying funds subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those underlying funds. Each of the underlying funds in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying funds' shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying fund will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. The “List and Description of Certain Underlying Funds” section of the fund's prospectus identifies certain risks of each underlying fund.
Asset Allocation – The fund’s investment performance is significantly impacted by the fund’s asset allocation and reallocation from time to time. The sub-adviser's decisions whether and when to tactically overweight or underweight asset classes and select a mix of underlying funds may not produce the desired results. These actions may be unsuccessful in maximizing return and/or avoiding investment losses. The value of your investment may decrease if the sub-adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular asset class, investment style, technique or strategy, underlying fund or other issuer is incorrect. The
45

sub-adviser may favor an asset class that performs poorly relative to other asset classes. The available underlying funds selected by the sub-adviser may underperform the market or similar funds.
Equity Securities – Equity securities generally have greater risk of loss than debt securities. Stock markets are volatile and the value of equity securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of equity securities fluctuates based on real or perceived changes in a company’s financial condition, factors affecting a particular industry or industries, and overall market, economic and political conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the fund fall, the value of your investment in the fund will decline. The fund may lose its entire investment in the equity securities of an issuer. A change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer may adversely impact securities markets as a whole.
Fixed-Income Securities – Risks of fixed-income securities include credit risk, interest rate risk, counterparty risk, prepayment risk, extension risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk. The value of fixed-income securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, tariffs and trade disruptions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In addition, the value of a fixed-income security may decline if the issuer or other obligor of the security fails to pay principal and/or interest, otherwise defaults or has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines. If the value of fixed-income securities owned by the fund falls, the value of your investment will go down. The fund may lose its entire investment in the fixed-income securities of an issuer.
Inflation – The value of assets or income from investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the fund’s assets can decline as can the value of the fund’s distributions.
Management – The value of your investment may go down if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's judgments and decisions are incorrect or otherwise do not produce the desired results, or if the investment strategy does not work as intended. You may also suffer losses if there are imperfections, errors or limitations in the quantitative, analytic or other tools, resources, information and data used, investment techniques applied, or the analyses employed or relied on, by the investment manageror sub-adviser, if such tools, resources, information or data are used incorrectly or otherwise do not work as intended, or if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's investment style is out of favor or otherwise fails to produce the desired results. Any of these things could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.
Counterparty – The fund could lose money if the counterparties to derivatives, repurchase agreements and other financial contracts entered into for the fund do not fulfill their contractual obligations. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against a counterparty.
Credit – If an issuer or other obligor (such as a party providing insurance or other credit enhancement) of a security held by the fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the fund is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations, or is downgraded
or perceived to be less creditworthy (whether by market participants or otherwise), or if the value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. A decline may be significant, particularly in certain market environments. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against an issuer, obligor or counterparty.
Currency – The value of a fund’s investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increases or decreases as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by currency risk. Currency exchange rates can be volatile and may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could reduce or eliminate investment gains or add to investment losses. A fund may be unable or may choose not to hedge its foreign currency exposure.
Derivatives – The use of derivatives involves a variety of risks, which may be different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Risks of derivatives include leverage risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, market risk, counterparty risk, credit risk, operational risk and legal risk. Use of derivatives can increase fund losses, increase costs, reduce opportunities for gains, increase fund volatility, and not produce the result intended. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. Even a small investment in derivatives can have a disproportionate impact on the fund. Derivatives may be difficult or impossible to sell, unwind or value, and the counterparty (including, if applicable, the fund’s clearing broker, the derivatives exchange or the clearinghouse) may default on its obligations to the fund. In certain cases, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against or closing out derivatives instruments with a counterparty, which may result in additional losses. Derivatives are also generally subject to the risks applicable to the assets, rates, indices or other indicators underlying the derivative, including market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, management and valuation risk. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances or at reasonable prices. The value of a derivative may fluctuate more or less than, or otherwise not correlate well with, the underlying assets, rates, indices or other indicators to which it relates. The fund may, under the current asset segregation and coverage regulatory framework, be required to segregate or earmark liquid assets or otherwise cover its obligations under derivatives transactions and may have to liquidate positions before it is desirable in order to meet these segregation and coverage requirements. The SEC has adopted new Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for the use of derivatives by registered investment companies and set limits on a fund’s investments in derivatives. Compliance with Rule 18f-4 is not required until August 2022, but the rule may impact the fund’s use of derivatives before that date. Rule 18f-4 could have an adverse impact on the fund’s performance and its ability to implement its investment strategies as it has historically.
Emerging Markets – Investments in securities of issuers located or doing business in emerging markets are subject to heightened foreign investments risks and may experience rapid and extreme changes in value. Emerging market countries tend to have less developed and less stable economic, political and legal systems and regulatory and accounting standards, may have policies that
46

restrict investment by foreigners or that prevent foreign investors such as the fund from withdrawing their money at will, and are more likely to experience nationalization, expropriation and confiscatory taxation. In addition, emerging market securities may have low trading volumes and may be or become illiquid.
Extension – When interest rates rise, repayments of fixed-income securities, including asset- and mortgage-backed securities, may occur more slowly than anticipated, causing their market prices to decline.
Focused Investing – To the extent the fund invests in a limited number of countries, regions, sectors, industries or market segments, in a limited number of issuers, or in issuers in related businesses or that are subject to related operating risks, the fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those countries, regions, sectors, industries, segments or issuers, and the value of its shares may be more volatile than if it invested more widely.
Foreign Investments – Investing in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involves additional risks. Foreign markets can be less liquid, less regulated, less transparent and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the fund’s foreign investments may decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of government or central bank support, tariffs and trade disruptions, sanctions, political or financial instability, social unrest or other adverse economic or political developments. Foreign investments may also be subject to different accounting practices and different regulatory, legal, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping standards and practices, and may be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers.
Growth Stocks – Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with returns on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks typically are particularly sensitive to market movements and may involve larger price swings because their market prices tend to reflect future expectations. When it appears those expectations may not be met, the prices of growth securities typically fall. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.
High-Yield Debt Securities – High-yield debt securities, commonly referred to as “junk” bonds, are securities that are rated below “investment grade” or are of comparable quality. Changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers, the creditworthiness of the issuers and negative perceptions of the junk bond market generally may significantly affect the value of these bonds. Junk bonds are considered speculative, tend to be volatile, typically have a higher risk of default, tend to be less liquid and more difficult to value than higher grade securities, and may result in losses for the fund.
Inflation-Protected Securities – Inflation-protected debt securities may react differently from other types of debt securities and tend to react to changes in “real” interest rates, which represent nominal (stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In general, the price of an inflation-protected debt security can fall when real interest rates rise, and can rise when real interest
rates fall. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable and will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation.
Interest Rate – Interest rates in the U.S. and certain foreign markets have been low relative to historic levels. The fund faces a risk that interest rates may rise. The value of fixed-income securities generally goes down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. Changes in interest rates also may affect the liquidity of the fund’s investments. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to sell fixed-income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities generally and could also result in increased redemptions from the fund. Increased redemptions could cause the fund to sell securities at inopportune times or depressed prices and result in further losses.
Large Capitalization Companies – The fund’s investments in larger, more established companies may underperform other segments of the market because they may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
Leveraging – To the extent that the fund borrows or uses derivatives or other investments, such as ETFs, that have embedded leverage, your investment may be subject to heightened volatility, risk of loss and costs. Other risks also will be compounded because leverage generally magnifies the effect of a change in the value of an asset and creates a risk of loss of value on a larger pool of assets than the fund would otherwise have. Use of leverage may result in the loss of a substantial amount, and possibly all, of the fund’s assets. The fund also may have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation, coverage or margin requirements.
Liquidity – The fund may make investments that are illiquid or that become illiquid after purchase. Illiquid investments can be difficult to value, may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid investments, and may be subject to wide fluctuations in value. If the fund is forced to sell an illiquid investment to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the fund may be forced to sell at a substantial loss or may not be able to sell at all. Liquidity of particular investments, or even entire asset classes, including U.S. Treasury securities, can deteriorate rapidly, particularly during times of market turmoil, and those investments may be difficult or impossible for the fund to sell. This may prevent the fund from limiting losses.
Mortgage-Related and Asset-Backed Securities – The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid, which could negatively impact the fund. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property. Asset-backed securities represent participations in, or are secured by and payable from, assets such as installment sales or loan contracts, leases, credit card receivables and other categories of receivables. The value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be affected by changes in credit quality or value of the mortgage loans or other assets that support
47

the securities. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment or call and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets.
Prepayment or Call – Many issuers have a right to prepay their fixed-income securities. If this happens, the fund will not benefit from the rise in the market price of the securities that normally accompanies a decline in interest rates and may be forced to reinvest the prepayment proceeds in securities with lower yields.
Real Estate Securities – Investments in the real estate industry are subject to risks associated with direct investment in real estate. These risks include declines in the value of real estate, adverse general and local economic conditions, increased competition, overbuilding and changes in laws and regulations affecting real estate, operating expenses, property taxes and interest rates. If the fund’s real estate-related investments are concentrated in one geographic area or one property type, the fund will also be subject to the risks associated with that one area or property type. The value of the fund’s real estate-related securities will not necessarily track the value of the underlying investments of the issuers of such securities.
REITs – Investing in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) involves unique risks. When the fund invests in REITs, it is subject to risks generally associated with investing in real estate. A REIT’s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns, how well it manages those properties and cash flow. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, may engage in dilutive offerings, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. In addition to its own expenses, the fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management and other expenses paid by REITs in which it invests. U.S. REITs are subject to a number of highly technical tax-related rules and requirements; and a U.S. REIT’s failure to qualify for the favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment generally available to U.S. REITs could result in corporate-level taxation, significantly reducing the return on an investment to the fund.
Small and Medium Capitalization Companies – The fund will be exposed to additional risks as a result of its investments in the securities of small or medium capitalization companies. Small or medium capitalization companies may be more at risk than large capitalization companies because, among other things, they may have limited product lines, operating history, market or financial resources, or because they may depend on a limited management group. Securities of small and medium capitalization companies may be more volatile than and may underperform large capitalization companies, may be harder to sell at times and at prices the portfolio managers believe appropriate and may offer greater potential for losses.
Valuation – The sales price the fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the fund's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets, that are priced based upon valuations provided by third party pricing services that use matrix or evaluated pricing systems, or that are valued using a fair value methodology. These differences may increase significantly and affect fund investments more broadly during periods of market volatility. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower
or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the fund had not fair-valued securities or had used a different valuation methodology. The fund’s ability to value its investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third party service providers.
Value Investing – The prices of securities the sub-adviser believes are undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated or may go down. The value approach to investing involves the risk that stocks may remain undervalued, undervaluation may become more severe, or perceived undervaluation may actually represent intrinsic value. Value stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “growth” stocks.
Performance: The bar chart and the table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The bar chart shows how the fund’s performance has varied from year to year. The table shows how the fund’s average annual total returns for different periods compare to the returns of a broad measure of market performance.
Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would be lower.

The change to the primary benchmark was made to more accurately reflect the principal investment strategies of the fund.
The after-tax returns are calculated using the historic highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns may depend on the investor’s individual tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns may not be relevant if the investment is made through a tax-exempt or tax-deferred account, such as a 401(k) plan.

After-tax returns are presented for only one class, and returns for other classes are presented before taxes only and will vary.

Contractual arrangements have been made with the fund’s investment manager, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), through March 1, 2025 to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses to the extent that total annual fund operating expenses exceed 0.55% for Class R6 shares, 1.20% for Class R1 shares and 0.95% for Class R3 shares, excluding, as applicable, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on securities sold short, extraordinary expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business. These arrangements cannot be terminated prior to March 1, 2025 without the Board of Trustees’ consent. TAM is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class during any of the 36 months from the date on which TAM waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the class if the class’ total annual fund operating expenses have fallen to a level below the limits described above. In no case will TAM recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the fund, in the class’ total annual operating expenses exceeding the applicable limits described above or any other lower limit then in effect.
Example: This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Only the 1 year dollar amount shown below reflects TAM's agreement to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover: The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate for the fund was 4% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies:
The fund is a fund of funds – it invests in a combination of actively managed Transamerica funds (“funds”) and index-based exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) managed by unaffiliated investment advisers.
The fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing normally in a combination of underlying funds and ETFs representing a variety of broad asset classes – including fixed-income, domestic equity, foreign equity, and real estate – and investment styles and focuses. Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may include funds that invest primarily in investment grade fixed-income securities, TIPS, or in high yield, high risk fixed-income securities rated below investment grade (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may invest in U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including corporate, mortgage- and asset-backed, government and emerging markets debt securities. Underlying equity funds and ETFs may include, but are not limited to, large cap funds, mid cap funds, small cap funds, growth-oriented funds, value-oriented funds, international equity funds, emerging market equity funds, real return funds and funds that invest in real estate-related securities, including REITs. The fund may also invest in inflation-hedging positions that fall under the broader asset categories listed above.
The fund is designed for investors expecting to retire around 2050. The fund’s asset-mix has been designed on the expectation that investors will begin to withdraw assets from the fund during 2050 and assume a retirement age of 65. The fund generally seeks to maintain a static target allocation (the “Target Allocation”) to asset classes in accordance with its glide path, as described below. The fund’s sub-adviser, Wilshire Advisors LLC (the “sub-adviser” or “Wilshire”), may periodically adjust target asset class allocations in accordance with its investment process and, in the view of
50

Wilshire, to appropriately position the fund in response to changing market environments. However, Wilshire may tactically over-weight or underweight asset classes at any time during the glide path period. This means at any time the fund’s asset mix may differ from the Target Allocation.
The fund’s current Target Allocation for domestic equity, foreign equity, fixed-income, and real estate is shown in the table below.

It is not possible to predict the extent to which the fund will be invested in a particular underlying fund or ETF at any time. The fund may be a significant shareholder in certain underlying funds or ETFs.
Each underlying fund and ETF has its own investment objective, principal investment strategies and investment risks. The sub-adviser for each underlying fund and adviser or sub-adviser for each underlying ETF decides which securities to purchase and sell for that underlying fund or ETF. The fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds and ETFs.
The “Underlying Funds” section of the prospectus lists the underlying Transamerica Funds currently available for investment by the fund, provides a summary of their respective investment objectives and principal investment strategies, and identifies certain risks of those funds.
The investment manager may change the available underlying Transamerica Funds, and the sub-adviser may change the fund’s asset allocations and underlying funds and ETFs, at any time without notice to shareholders and without shareholder approval.
Glide Path Period
Over time, the Target Allocation to asset classes will normally change according to a predetermined “glide path.” The glide path represents the shifting of these asset classes over time. Rebalancing and de-risking of the glide path will generally occur annually. The glide path is detailed in the chart below (note that “0” represents the fund’s target date and that the fund is currently “-28” years before its target date):
During the time that the fund’s Target Allocation tracks the glide path, the fund’s asset mix will gradually become more conservative until approximately 2050 at which time the Target Allocation will become static. This reflects the goal of pursuing the highest total return, consistent with a reasonable amount of risk, during the investor’s pre-retirement and early retirement years. By following these investment strategies both before and after the fund reaches its target date, the fund seeks to reduce the likelihood that an investor will experience a significant loss of capital at a more advanced age.
The Target Allocation reflected in the glide path is a “neutral” allocation, which does not reflect tactical decisions made by Wilshire to overweight or underweight a particular asset class. From time to time, Wilshire may make tactical increases or decreases to the fund’s investment in a particular asset class beyond the Target Allocation, based on a broad range of market and economic trends and quantitative factors. Wilshire may also allow the relative weightings of the fund’s investments in asset classes to vary from its Target Allocation in response to the markets. When varying exposures among underlying funds and/or ETFs, Wilshire will examine, among other things, relative values and prospects among the underlying funds and/or ETFs’ asset classes, as well as the capacity of the underlying funds and/or ETFs to absorb additional cash flow.
Static Allocation Period
The fund’s Target Allocation will become static at the target date. At that time, when the fund’s Target Allocation will match the Target Allocation of Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income (the “Retirement Fund”), the fund’s Board of Trustees may combine the fund with the Retirement Fund without shareholder approval, and the fund’s shareholders will become shareholders of the Retirement Fund. This combination would occur approximately in the year 2050. This combination is currently expected to be tax-free under current law. Shareholders will be provided with additional information at that time. The Retirement Fund’s Target Allocation is currently 59% fixed-income, 26% domestic equity, 12% foreign equity, and 3% real estate. Wilshire may tactically overweight or underweight asset classes in the fund during the Static Allocation Period and in the Retirement Fund at any time.
Principal Risks: Risk is inherent in all investing. Many factors and risks affect the fund's performance, including those described below. The value of your investment in the fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly
51

day to day and over time. You may lose part or all of your investment in the fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. In addition, you may experience losses near, at or after the target date. You should not rely solely on the target date when choosing to invest in the fund or deciding to remain invested in the fund. You should consider the fund’s investment strategies over the whole life of the fund. Unlike many other target retirement date funds, the fund may not follow the Target Allocation indicated by the glide path. There is no assurance that the fund will provide sufficient retirement income at and after the target date. The fund, through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs, is subject to the risks of the underlying funds and ETFs. The following is a summary description of principal risks (in alphabetical order after certain key risks) of investing in the fund (either directly and/or through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs). Each risk described below may not apply to each underlying fund or ETF and an underlying fund or ETF may be subject to additional or different risks than those described below. An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.You may lose money if you invest in this fund.
Market – The market prices of the fund’s securities or other assets may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, inflation, changes in interest rates, governmental actions or interventions, actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve or foreign central banks, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes or other factors, political developments, investor sentiment, the global and domestic effects of a pandemic, and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. If the market prices of the fund’s securities and assets fall, the value of your investment will go down.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, public health events (such as the spread of infectious disease), wars, terrorism, cybersecurity events, technology and data interruptions, natural disasters, and other circumstances in one or more countries or regions could be highly disruptive to, and have profound impacts on, global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments may go down.
The pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in extreme volatility in the financial markets, a domestic and global economic downturn, severe losses, particularly to some sectors of the economy and individual issuers, and reduced liquidity of many instruments. There also have been significant disruptions to business operations, including business closures; strained healthcare systems; disruptions to supply chains and employee availability; large fluctuations in consumer demand; and widespread uncertainty regarding the duration and long-term effects of the pandemic. The domestic and global economic downturn may be prolonged. The pandemic may result in domestic and foreign political and social instability, damage to diplomatic and international
trade relations, and continued volatility and/or decreased liquidity in the securities markets. Developing or emerging market countries may be more impacted by the pandemic.
The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve, as well as certain foreign governments and central banks, have taken extraordinary actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including by pushing interest rates to very low levels. This and other government intervention into the economy and financial markets to address the pandemic may not work as intended, particularly if the efforts are perceived by investors as being unlikely to achieve the desired results. Government actions to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic have resulted in large expansion of government deficits and debt, the long-term consequences of which are not known. Rates of inflation have recently risen, which could adversely affect economies and markets.
The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to adversely affect the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments, impair the fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the fund’s performance. In addition, the pandemic, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the fund by its service providers.
Underlying Exchange-Traded Funds – To the extent the fund invests its assets in underlying ETFs, its ability to achieve its investment objective will depend in part on the performance of the underlying ETFs in which it invests. Investing in underlying ETFs subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those ETFs. Each of the underlying ETFs in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying ETFs’ shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying ETF will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying ETFs in which it invests.
Underlying Funds Because the fund invests its assets in various underlying funds, its ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds in which it invests. Investing in underlying funds subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those underlying funds. Each of the underlying funds in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying funds' shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying fund will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. The “List and Description of Certain Underlying Funds” section of the fund's prospectus identifies certain risks of each underlying fund.
Asset Allocation – The fund’s investment performance is significantly impacted by the fund’s asset allocation and reallocation from time to time. The sub-adviser's decisions whether and when to tactically overweight or underweight asset classes and select a mix of underlying funds may not produce the desired results. These actions may be unsuccessful in maximizing return and/or avoiding investment losses. The value of your investment may decrease if the sub-adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular asset class, investment style, technique or strategy, underlying fund or other issuer is incorrect. The
52

sub-adviser may favor an asset class that performs poorly relative to other asset classes. The available underlying funds selected by the sub-adviser may underperform the market or similar funds.
Equity Securities – Equity securities generally have greater risk of loss than debt securities. Stock markets are volatile and the value of equity securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of equity securities fluctuates based on real or perceived changes in a company’s financial condition, factors affecting a particular industry or industries, and overall market, economic and political conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the fund fall, the value of your investment in the fund will decline. The fund may lose its entire investment in the equity securities of an issuer. A change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer may adversely impact securities markets as a whole.
Management – The value of your investment may go down if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's judgments and decisions are incorrect or otherwise do not produce the desired results, or if the investment strategy does not work as intended. You may also suffer losses if there are imperfections, errors or limitations in the quantitative, analytic or other tools, resources, information and data used, investment techniques applied, or the analyses employed or relied on, by the investment manageror sub-adviser, if such tools, resources, information or data are used incorrectly or otherwise do not work as intended, or if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's investment style is out of favor or otherwise fails to produce the desired results. Any of these things could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.
Counterparty – The fund could lose money if the counterparties to derivatives, repurchase agreements and other financial contracts entered into for the fund do not fulfill their contractual obligations. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against a counterparty.
Credit – If an issuer or other obligor (such as a party providing insurance or other credit enhancement) of a security held by the fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the fund is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations, or is downgraded or perceived to be less creditworthy (whether by market participants or otherwise), or if the value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. A decline may be significant, particularly in certain market environments. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against an issuer, obligor or counterparty.
Currency – The value of a fund’s investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increases or decreases as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by currency risk. Currency exchange rates can be volatile and may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could reduce or eliminate investment gains or add to investment losses. A fund may be unable or may choose not to hedge its foreign currency exposure.
Derivatives – The use of derivatives involves a variety of risks, which may be different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Risks of derivatives include leverage risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, market risk, counterparty risk, credit risk, operational risk
and legal risk. Use of derivatives can increase fund losses, increase costs, reduce opportunities for gains, increase fund volatility, and not produce the result intended. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. Even a small investment in derivatives can have a disproportionate impact on the fund. Derivatives may be difficult or impossible to sell, unwind or value, and the counterparty (including, if applicable, the fund’s clearing broker, the derivatives exchange or the clearinghouse) may default on its obligations to the fund. In certain cases, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against or closing out derivatives instruments with a counterparty, which may result in additional losses. Derivatives are also generally subject to the risks applicable to the assets, rates, indices or other indicators underlying the derivative, including market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, management and valuation risk. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances or at reasonable prices. The value of a derivative may fluctuate more or less than, or otherwise not correlate well with, the underlying assets, rates, indices or other indicators to which it relates. The fund may, under the current asset segregation and coverage regulatory framework, be required to segregate or earmark liquid assets or otherwise cover its obligations under derivatives transactions and may have to liquidate positions before it is desirable in order to meet these segregation and coverage requirements. The SEC has adopted new Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for the use of derivatives by registered investment companies and set limits on a fund’s investments in derivatives. Compliance with Rule 18f-4 is not required until August 2022, but the rule may impact the fund’s use of derivatives before that date. Rule 18f-4 could have an adverse impact on the fund’s performance and its ability to implement its investment strategies as it has historically.
Emerging Markets – Investments in securities of issuers located or doing business in emerging markets are subject to heightened foreign investments risks and may experience rapid and extreme changes in value. Emerging market countries tend to have less developed and less stable economic, political and legal systems and regulatory and accounting standards, may have policies that restrict investment by foreigners or that prevent foreign investors such as the fund from withdrawing their money at will, and are more likely to experience nationalization, expropriation and confiscatory taxation. In addition, emerging market securities may have low trading volumes and may be or become illiquid.
Extension – When interest rates rise, repayments of fixed-income securities, including asset- and mortgage-backed securities, may occur more slowly than anticipated, causing their market prices to decline.
Fixed-Income Securities – Risks of fixed-income securities include credit risk, interest rate risk, counterparty risk, prepayment risk, extension risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk. The value of fixed-income securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, tariffs and trade disruptions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In addition, the value of a fixed-income security may decline if the issuer or other obligor of the security fails to pay principal and/or interest, otherwise defaults or has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be
53

less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines. If the value of fixed-income securities owned by the fund falls, the value of your investment will go down. The fund may lose its entire investment in the fixed-income securities of an issuer.
Focused Investing – To the extent the fund invests in a limited number of countries, regions, sectors, industries or market segments, in a limited number of issuers, or in issuers in related businesses or that are subject to related operating risks, the fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those countries, regions, sectors, industries, segments or issuers, and the value of its shares may be more volatile than if it invested more widely.
Foreign Investments – Investing in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involves additional risks. Foreign markets can be less liquid, less regulated, less transparent and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the fund’s foreign investments may decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of government or central bank support, tariffs and trade disruptions, sanctions, political or financial instability, social unrest or other adverse economic or political developments. Foreign investments may also be subject to different accounting practices and different regulatory, legal, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping standards and practices, and may be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers.
Growth Stocks – Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with returns on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks typically are particularly sensitive to market movements and may involve larger price swings because their market prices tend to reflect future expectations. When it appears those expectations may not be met, the prices of growth securities typically fall. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.
High-Yield Debt Securities – High-yield debt securities, commonly referred to as “junk” bonds, are securities that are rated below “investment grade” or are of comparable quality. Changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers, the creditworthiness of the issuers and negative perceptions of the junk bond market generally may significantly affect the value of these bonds. Junk bonds are considered speculative, tend to be volatile, typically have a higher risk of default, tend to be less liquid and more difficult to value than higher grade securities, and may result in losses for the fund.
Inflation – The value of assets or income from investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the fund’s assets can decline as can the value of the fund’s distributions.
Inflation-Protected Securities – Inflation-protected debt securities may react differently from other types of debt securities and tend to react to changes in “real” interest rates, which represent nominal (stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In general, the price of an inflation-protected debt security can fall when real interest rates rise, and can rise when real interest
rates fall. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable and will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation.
Interest Rate – Interest rates in the U.S. and certain foreign markets have been low relative to historic levels. The fund faces a risk that interest rates may rise. The value of fixed-income securities generally goes down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. Changes in interest rates also may affect the liquidity of the fund’s investments. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to sell fixed-income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities generally and could also result in increased redemptions from the fund. Increased redemptions could cause the fund to sell securities at inopportune times or depressed prices and result in further losses.
Large Capitalization Companies – The fund’s investments in larger, more established companies may underperform other segments of the market because they may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
Leveraging – To the extent that the fund borrows or uses derivatives or other investments, such as ETFs, that have embedded leverage, your investment may be subject to heightened volatility, risk of loss and costs. Other risks also will be compounded because leverage generally magnifies the effect of a change in the value of an asset and creates a risk of loss of value on a larger pool of assets than the fund would otherwise have. Use of leverage may result in the loss of a substantial amount, and possibly all, of the fund’s assets. The fund also may have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation, coverage or margin requirements.
Liquidity – The fund may make investments that are illiquid or that become illiquid after purchase. Illiquid investments can be difficult to value, may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid investments, and may be subject to wide fluctuations in value. If the fund is forced to sell an illiquid investment to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the fund may be forced to sell at a substantial loss or may not be able to sell at all. Liquidity of particular investments, or even entire asset classes, including U.S. Treasury securities, can deteriorate rapidly, particularly during times of market turmoil, and those investments may be difficult or impossible for the fund to sell. This may prevent the fund from limiting losses.
Mortgage-Related and Asset-Backed Securities – The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid, which could negatively impact the fund. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property. Asset-backed securities represent participations in, or are secured by and payable from, assets such as installment sales or loan contracts, leases, credit card receivables and other categories of receivables. The value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be affected by changes in credit quality or value of the mortgage loans or other assets that support
54

the securities. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment or call and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets.
Prepayment or Call – Many issuers have a right to prepay their fixed-income securities. If this happens, the fund will not benefit from the rise in the market price of the securities that normally accompanies a decline in interest rates and may be forced to reinvest the prepayment proceeds in securities with lower yields.
Real Estate Securities – Investments in the real estate industry are subject to risks associated with direct investment in real estate. These risks include declines in the value of real estate, adverse general and local economic conditions, increased competition, overbuilding and changes in laws and regulations affecting real estate, operating expenses, property taxes and interest rates. If the fund’s real estate-related investments are concentrated in one geographic area or one property type, the fund will also be subject to the risks associated with that one area or property type. The value of the fund’s real estate-related securities will not necessarily track the value of the underlying investments of the issuers of such securities.
REITs – Investing in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) involves unique risks. When the fund invests in REITs, it is subject to risks generally associated with investing in real estate. A REIT’s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns, how well it manages those properties and cash flow. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, may engage in dilutive offerings, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. In addition to its own expenses, the fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management and other expenses paid by REITs in which it invests. U.S. REITs are subject to a number of highly technical tax-related rules and requirements; and a U.S. REIT’s failure to qualify for the favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment generally available to U.S. REITs could result in corporate-level taxation, significantly reducing the return on an investment to the fund.
Small and Medium Capitalization Companies – The fund will be exposed to additional risks as a result of its investments in the securities of small or medium capitalization companies. Small or medium capitalization companies may be more at risk than large capitalization companies because, among other things, they may have limited product lines, operating history, market or financial resources, or because they may depend on a limited management group. Securities of small and medium capitalization companies may be more volatile than and may underperform large capitalization companies, may be harder to sell at times and at prices the portfolio managers believe appropriate and may offer greater potential for losses.
Valuation – The sales price the fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the fund's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets, that are priced based upon valuations provided by third party pricing services that use matrix or evaluated pricing systems, or that are valued using a fair value methodology. These differences may increase significantly and affect fund investments more broadly during periods of market volatility. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower
or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the fund had not fair-valued securities or had used a different valuation methodology. The fund’s ability to value its investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third party service providers.
Value Investing – The prices of securities the sub-adviser believes are undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated or may go down. The value approach to investing involves the risk that stocks may remain undervalued, undervaluation may become more severe, or perceived undervaluation may actually represent intrinsic value. Value stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “growth” stocks.
Performance: The bar chart and the table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The bar chart shows how the fund’s performance has varied from year to year. The table shows how the fund’s average annual total returns for different periods compare to the returns of a broad measure of market performance.
Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would be lower.
As with all mutual funds, past performance (before and after taxes) is not a prediction of future results. Updated performance information is available on our website at www.transamerica.com/investments-fund-center or by calling 1-888-233-4339.
Prior to December 6, 2021, the fund had a different sub-adviser, a different investment objective and used different investment strategies. The performance set forth prior to that date is attributable to that previous sub-adviser.

The change to the primary benchmark was made to more accurately reflect the principal investment strategies of the fund.
The after-tax returns are calculated using the historic highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns may depend on the investor’s individual tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns may not be relevant if the investment is made through a tax-exempt or tax-deferred account, such as a 401(k) plan.

After-tax returns are presented for only one class, and returns for other classes are presented before taxes only and will vary.

Contractual arrangements have been made with the fund’s investment manager, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), through March 1, 2025 to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses to the extent that total annual fund operating expenses exceed 0.55% for Class R6 shares, 1.20% for Class R1 shares and 0.95% for Class R3 shares, excluding, as applicable, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on securities sold short, extraordinary expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business. These arrangements cannot be terminated prior to March 1, 2025 without the Board of Trustees’ consent. TAM is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class during any of the 36 months from the date on which TAM waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the class if the class’ total annual fund operating expenses have fallen to a level below the limits described above. In no case will TAM recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the fund, in the class’ total annual operating expenses exceeding the applicable limits described above or any other lower limit then in effect.
Example: This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Only the 1 year dollar amount shown below reflects TAM's agreement to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover: The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate for the fund was 6% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies:
The fund is a fund of funds – it invests in a combination of actively managed Transamerica funds (“funds”) and index-based exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) managed by unaffiliated investment advisers.
The fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing normally in a combination of underlying funds and ETFs representing a variety of broad asset classes – including fixed-income, domestic equity, foreign equity, and real estate – and investment styles and focuses. Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may include funds that invest primarily in investment grade fixed-income securities, TIPS, or in high yield, high risk fixed-income securities rated below investment grade (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may invest in U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including corporate, mortgage- and asset-backed, government and emerging markets debt securities. Underlying equity funds and ETFs may include, but are not limited to, large cap funds, mid cap funds, small cap funds, growth-oriented funds, value-oriented funds, international equity funds, emerging market equity funds, real return funds and funds that invest in real estate-related securities, including REITs. The fund may also invest in inflation-hedging positions that fall under the broader asset categories listed above.
The fund is designed for investors expecting to retire around 2055. The fund’s asset-mix has been designed on the expectation that investors will begin to withdraw assets from the fund during 2055 and assume a retirement age of 65. The fund generally seeks to maintain a static target allocation (the “Target Allocation”) to asset classes in accordance with its glide path, as described below. The fund’s sub-adviser, Wilshire Advisors LLC (the “sub-adviser” or “Wilshire”), may periodically adjust target asset class allocations in accordance with its investment process and, in the view of
57

Wilshire, to appropriately position the fund in response to changing market environments. However, Wilshire may tactically over-weight or underweight asset classes at any time during the glide path period. This means at any time the fund’s asset mix may differ from the Target Allocation.
The fund’s current Target Allocation for domestic equity, foreign equity, fixed-income, and real estate is shown in the table below.

It is not possible to predict the extent to which the fund will be invested in a particular underlying fund or ETF at any time. The fund may be a significant shareholder in certain underlying funds or ETFs.
Each underlying fund and ETF has its own investment objective, principal investment strategies and investment risks. The sub-adviser for each underlying fund and adviser or sub-adviser for each underlying ETF decides which securities to purchase and sell for that underlying fund or ETF. The fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds and ETFs.
The “Underlying Funds” section of the prospectus lists the underlying Transamerica Funds currently available for investment by the fund, provides a summary of their respective investment objectives and principal investment strategies, and identifies certain risks of those funds.
The investment manager may change the available underlying Transamerica Funds, and the sub-adviser may change the fund’s asset allocations and underlying funds and ETFs, at any time without notice to shareholders and without shareholder approval.
Glide Path Period
Over time, the Target Allocation to asset classes will normally change according to a predetermined “glide path.” The glide path represents the shifting of these asset classes over time. Rebalancing and de-risking of the glide path will generally occur annually. The glide path is detailed in the chart below (note that “0” represents the fund’s target date and that the fund is currently “-33” years before its target date):
During the time that the fund’s Target Allocation tracks the glide path, the fund’s asset mix will gradually become more conservative until approximately 2055 at which time the Target Allocation will become static. This reflects the goal of pursuing the highest total return, consistent with a reasonable amount of risk, during the investor’s pre-retirement and early retirement years. By following these investment strategies both before and after the fund reaches its target date, the fund seeks to reduce the likelihood that an investor will experience a significant loss of capital at a more advanced age.
The Target Allocation reflected in the glide path is a “neutral” allocation, which does not reflect tactical decisions made by Wilshire to overweight or underweight a particular asset class. From time to time, Wilshire may make tactical increases or decreases to the fund’s investment in a particular asset class beyond the Target Allocation, based on a broad range of market and economic trends and quantitative factors. Wilshire may also allow the relative weightings of the fund’s investments in asset classes to vary from its Target Allocation in response to the markets. When varying exposures among underlying funds and/or ETFs, Wilshire will examine, among other things, relative values and prospects among the underlying funds and/or ETFs’ asset classes, as well as the capacity of the underlying funds and/or ETFs to absorb additional cash flow.
Static Allocation Period
The fund’s Target Allocation will become static at the target date. At that time, when the fund’s Target Allocation will match the Target Allocation of Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income (the “Retirement Fund”), the fund’s Board of Trustees may combine the fund with the Retirement Fund without shareholder approval, and the fund’s shareholders will become shareholders of the Retirement Fund. This combination would occur approximately in the year 2055. This combination is currently expected to be tax-free under current law. Shareholders will be provided with additional information at that time. The Retirement Fund’s Target Allocation is currently 59% fixed-income, 26% domestic equity, 12% foreign equity, and 3% real estate. Wilshire may tactically overweight or underweight asset classes in the fund during the Static Allocation Period and in the Retirement Fund at any time.
Principal Risks: Risk is inherent in all investing. Many factors and risks affect the fund's performance, including those described below. The value of your investment in the fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly
58

day to day and over time. You may lose part or all of your investment in the fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. In addition, you may experience losses near, at or after the target date. You should not rely solely on the target date when choosing to invest in the fund or deciding to remain invested in the fund. You should consider the fund’s investment strategies over the whole life of the fund. Unlike many other target retirement date funds, the fund may not follow the Target Allocation indicated by the glide path. There is no assurance that the fund will provide sufficient retirement income at and after the target date. The fund, through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs, is subject to the risks of the underlying funds and ETFs. The following is a summary description of principal risks (in alphabetical order after certain key risks) of investing in the fund (either directly and/or through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs). Each risk described below may not apply to each underlying fund or ETF and an underlying fund or ETF may be subject to additional or different risks than those described below. An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.You may lose money if you invest in this fund.
Market – The market prices of the fund’s securities or other assets may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, inflation, changes in interest rates, governmental actions or interventions, actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve or foreign central banks, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes or other factors, political developments, investor sentiment, the global and domestic effects of a pandemic, and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. If the market prices of the fund’s securities and assets fall, the value of your investment will go down.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, public health events (such as the spread of infectious disease), wars, terrorism, cybersecurity events, technology and data interruptions, natural disasters, and other circumstances in one or more countries or regions could be highly disruptive to, and have profound impacts on, global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments may go down.
The pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in extreme volatility in the financial markets, a domestic and global economic downturn, severe losses, particularly to some sectors of the economy and individual issuers, and reduced liquidity of many instruments. There also have been significant disruptions to business operations, including business closures; strained healthcare systems; disruptions to supply chains and employee availability; large fluctuations in consumer demand; and widespread uncertainty regarding the duration and long-term effects of the pandemic. The domestic and global economic downturn may be prolonged. The pandemic may result in domestic and foreign political and social instability, damage to diplomatic and international
trade relations, and continued volatility and/or decreased liquidity in the securities markets. Developing or emerging market countries may be more impacted by the pandemic.
The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve, as well as certain foreign governments and central banks, have taken extraordinary actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including by pushing interest rates to very low levels. This and other government intervention into the economy and financial markets to address the pandemic may not work as intended, particularly if the efforts are perceived by investors as being unlikely to achieve the desired results. Government actions to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic have resulted in large expansion of government deficits and debt, the long-term consequences of which are not known. Rates of inflation have recently risen, which could adversely affect economies and markets.
The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to adversely affect the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments, impair the fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the fund’s performance. In addition, the pandemic, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the fund by its service providers.
Underlying Exchange-Traded Funds – To the extent the fund invests its assets in underlying ETFs, its ability to achieve its investment objective will depend in part on the performance of the underlying ETFs in which it invests. Investing in underlying ETFs subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those ETFs. Each of the underlying ETFs in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying ETFs’ shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying ETF will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying ETFs in which it invests.
Underlying Funds Because the fund invests its assets in various underlying funds, its ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds in which it invests. Investing in underlying funds subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those underlying funds. Each of the underlying funds in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying funds' shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying fund will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. The “List and Description of Certain Underlying Funds” section of the fund's prospectus identifies certain risks of each underlying fund.
Asset Allocation – The fund’s investment performance is significantly impacted by the fund’s asset allocation and reallocation from time to time. The sub-adviser's decisions whether and when to tactically overweight or underweight asset classes and select a mix of underlying funds may not produce the desired results. These actions may be unsuccessful in maximizing return and/or avoiding investment losses. The value of your investment may decrease if the sub-adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular asset class, investment style, technique or strategy, underlying fund or other issuer is incorrect. The
59

sub-adviser may favor an asset class that performs poorly relative to other asset classes. The available underlying funds selected by the sub-adviser may underperform the market or similar funds.
Equity Securities – Equity securities generally have greater risk of loss than debt securities. Stock markets are volatile and the value of equity securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of equity securities fluctuates based on real or perceived changes in a company’s financial condition, factors affecting a particular industry or industries, and overall market, economic and political conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the fund fall, the value of your investment in the fund will decline. The fund may lose its entire investment in the equity securities of an issuer. A change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer may adversely impact securities markets as a whole.
Management – The value of your investment may go down if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's judgments and decisions are incorrect or otherwise do not produce the desired results, or if the investment strategy does not work as intended. You may also suffer losses if there are imperfections, errors or limitations in the quantitative, analytic or other tools, resources, information and data used, investment techniques applied, or the analyses employed or relied on, by the investment manageror sub-adviser, if such tools, resources, information or data are used incorrectly or otherwise do not work as intended, or if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's investment style is out of favor or otherwise fails to produce the desired results. Any of these things could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.
Counterparty – The fund could lose money if the counterparties to derivatives, repurchase agreements and other financial contracts entered into for the fund do not fulfill their contractual obligations. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against a counterparty.
Credit – If an issuer or other obligor (such as a party providing insurance or other credit enhancement) of a security held by the fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the fund is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations, or is downgraded or perceived to be less creditworthy (whether by market participants or otherwise), or if the value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. A decline may be significant, particularly in certain market environments. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against an issuer, obligor or counterparty.
Currency – The value of a fund’s investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increases or decreases as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by currency risk. Currency exchange rates can be volatile and may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could reduce or eliminate investment gains or add to investment losses. A fund may be unable or may choose not to hedge its foreign currency exposure.
Derivatives – The use of derivatives involves a variety of risks, which may be different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Risks of derivatives include leverage risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, market risk, counterparty risk, credit risk, operational risk
and legal risk. Use of derivatives can increase fund losses, increase costs, reduce opportunities for gains, increase fund volatility, and not produce the result intended. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. Even a small investment in derivatives can have a disproportionate impact on the fund. Derivatives may be difficult or impossible to sell, unwind or value, and the counterparty (including, if applicable, the fund’s clearing broker, the derivatives exchange or the clearinghouse) may default on its obligations to the fund. In certain cases, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against or closing out derivatives instruments with a counterparty, which may result in additional losses. Derivatives are also generally subject to the risks applicable to the assets, rates, indices or other indicators underlying the derivative, including market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, management and valuation risk. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances or at reasonable prices. The value of a derivative may fluctuate more or less than, or otherwise not correlate well with, the underlying assets, rates, indices or other indicators to which it relates. The fund may, under the current asset segregation and coverage regulatory framework, be required to segregate or earmark liquid assets or otherwise cover its obligations under derivatives transactions and may have to liquidate positions before it is desirable in order to meet these segregation and coverage requirements. The SEC has adopted new Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for the use of derivatives by registered investment companies and set limits on a fund’s investments in derivatives. Compliance with Rule 18f-4 is not required until August 2022, but the rule may impact the fund’s use of derivatives before that date. Rule 18f-4 could have an adverse impact on the fund’s performance and its ability to implement its investment strategies as it has historically.
Emerging Markets – Investments in securities of issuers located or doing business in emerging markets are subject to heightened foreign investments risks and may experience rapid and extreme changes in value. Emerging market countries tend to have less developed and less stable economic, political and legal systems and regulatory and accounting standards, may have policies that restrict investment by foreigners or that prevent foreign investors such as the fund from withdrawing their money at will, and are more likely to experience nationalization, expropriation and confiscatory taxation. In addition, emerging market securities may have low trading volumes and may be or become illiquid.
Extension – When interest rates rise, repayments of fixed-income securities, including asset- and mortgage-backed securities, may occur more slowly than anticipated, causing their market prices to decline.
Fixed-Income Securities – Risks of fixed-income securities include credit risk, interest rate risk, counterparty risk, prepayment risk, extension risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk. The value of fixed-income securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, tariffs and trade disruptions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In addition, the value of a fixed-income security may decline if the issuer or other obligor of the security fails to pay principal and/or interest, otherwise defaults or has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be
60

less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines. If the value of fixed-income securities owned by the fund falls, the value of your investment will go down. The fund may lose its entire investment in the fixed-income securities of an issuer.
Focused Investing – To the extent the fund invests in a limited number of countries, regions, sectors, industries or market segments, in a limited number of issuers, or in issuers in related businesses or that are subject to related operating risks, the fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those countries, regions, sectors, industries, segments or issuers, and the value of its shares may be more volatile than if it invested more widely.
Foreign Investments – Investing in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involves additional risks. Foreign markets can be less liquid, less regulated, less transparent and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the fund’s foreign investments may decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of government or central bank support, tariffs and trade disruptions, sanctions, political or financial instability, social unrest or other adverse economic or political developments. Foreign investments may also be subject to different accounting practices and different regulatory, legal, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping standards and practices, and may be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers.
Growth Stocks – Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with returns on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks typically are particularly sensitive to market movements and may involve larger price swings because their market prices tend to reflect future expectations. When it appears those expectations may not be met, the prices of growth securities typically fall. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.
High-Yield Debt Securities – High-yield debt securities, commonly referred to as “junk” bonds, are securities that are rated below “investment grade” or are of comparable quality. Changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers, the creditworthiness of the issuers and negative perceptions of the junk bond market generally may significantly affect the value of these bonds. Junk bonds are considered speculative, tend to be volatile, typically have a higher risk of default, tend to be less liquid and more difficult to value than higher grade securities, and may result in losses for the fund.
Inflation – The value of assets or income from investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the fund’s assets can decline as can the value of the fund’s distributions.
Inflation-Protected Securities – Inflation-protected debt securities may react differently from other types of debt securities and tend to react to changes in “real” interest rates, which represent nominal (stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In general, the price of an inflation-protected debt security can fall when real interest rates rise, and can rise when real interest
rates fall. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable and will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation.
Interest Rate – Interest rates in the U.S. and certain foreign markets have been low relative to historic levels. The fund faces a risk that interest rates may rise. The value of fixed-income securities generally goes down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. Changes in interest rates also may affect the liquidity of the fund’s investments. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to sell fixed-income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities generally and could also result in increased redemptions from the fund. Increased redemptions could cause the fund to sell securities at inopportune times or depressed prices and result in further losses.
Large Capitalization Companies – The fund’s investments in larger, more established companies may underperform other segments of the market because they may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
Leveraging – To the extent that the fund borrows or uses derivatives or other investments, such as ETFs, that have embedded leverage, your investment may be subject to heightened volatility, risk of loss and costs. Other risks also will be compounded because leverage generally magnifies the effect of a change in the value of an asset and creates a risk of loss of value on a larger pool of assets than the fund would otherwise have. Use of leverage may result in the loss of a substantial amount, and possibly all, of the fund’s assets. The fund also may have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation, coverage or margin requirements.
Liquidity – The fund may make investments that are illiquid or that become illiquid after purchase. Illiquid investments can be difficult to value, may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid investments, and may be subject to wide fluctuations in value. If the fund is forced to sell an illiquid investment to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the fund may be forced to sell at a substantial loss or may not be able to sell at all. Liquidity of particular investments, or even entire asset classes, including U.S. Treasury securities, can deteriorate rapidly, particularly during times of market turmoil, and those investments may be difficult or impossible for the fund to sell. This may prevent the fund from limiting losses.
Mortgage-Related and Asset-Backed Securities – The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid, which could negatively impact the fund. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property. Asset-backed securities represent participations in, or are secured by and payable from, assets such as installment sales or loan contracts, leases, credit card receivables and other categories of receivables. The value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be affected by changes in credit quality or value of the mortgage loans or other assets that support
61

the securities. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment or call and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets.
Prepayment or Call – Many issuers have a right to prepay their fixed-income securities. If this happens, the fund will not benefit from the rise in the market price of the securities that normally accompanies a decline in interest rates and may be forced to reinvest the prepayment proceeds in securities with lower yields.
Real Estate Securities – Investments in the real estate industry are subject to risks associated with direct investment in real estate. These risks include declines in the value of real estate, adverse general and local economic conditions, increased competition, overbuilding and changes in laws and regulations affecting real estate, operating expenses, property taxes and interest rates. If the fund’s real estate-related investments are concentrated in one geographic area or one property type, the fund will also be subject to the risks associated with that one area or property type. The value of the fund’s real estate-related securities will not necessarily track the value of the underlying investments of the issuers of such securities.
REITs – Investing in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) involves unique risks. When the fund invests in REITs, it is subject to risks generally associated with investing in real estate. A REIT’s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns, how well it manages those properties and cash flow. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, may engage in dilutive offerings, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. In addition to its own expenses, the fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management and other expenses paid by REITs in which it invests. U.S. REITs are subject to a number of highly technical tax-related rules and requirements; and a U.S. REIT’s failure to qualify for the favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment generally available to U.S. REITs could result in corporate-level taxation, significantly reducing the return on an investment to the fund.
Small and Medium Capitalization Companies – The fund will be exposed to additional risks as a result of its investments in the securities of small or medium capitalization companies. Small or medium capitalization companies may be more at risk than large capitalization companies because, among other things, they may have limited product lines, operating history, market or financial resources, or because they may depend on a limited management group. Securities of small and medium capitalization companies may be more volatile than and may underperform large capitalization companies, may be harder to sell at times and at prices the portfolio managers believe appropriate and may offer greater potential for losses.
Valuation – The sales price the fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the fund's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets, that are priced based upon valuations provided by third party pricing services that use matrix or evaluated pricing systems, or that are valued using a fair value methodology. These differences may increase significantly and affect fund investments more broadly during periods of market volatility. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower
or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the fund had not fair-valued securities or had used a different valuation methodology. The fund’s ability to value its investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third party service providers.
Value Investing – The prices of securities the sub-adviser believes are undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated or may go down. The value approach to investing involves the risk that stocks may remain undervalued, undervaluation may become more severe, or perceived undervaluation may actually represent intrinsic value. Value stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “growth” stocks.
Performance: The bar chart and the table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The bar chart shows how the fund’s performance has varied from year to year. The table shows how the fund’s average annual total returns for different periods compare to the returns of a broad measure of market performance.
Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would be lower.
As with all mutual funds, past performance (before and after taxes) is not a prediction of future results. Updated performance information is available on our website at www.transamerica.com/investments-fund-center or by calling 1-888-233-4339.
Prior to December 6, 2021, the fund had a different sub-adviser, a different investment objective and used different investment strategies. The performance set forth prior to that date is attributable to that previous sub-adviser.

Contractual arrangements have been made with the fund’s investment manager, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), through March 1, 2025 to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses to the extent that total annual fund operating expenses exceed 0.55% for Class R6 shares, 1.20% for Class R1 shares and 0.95% for Class R3 shares, excluding, as applicable, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on securities sold short, extraordinary expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business. These arrangements cannot be terminated prior to March 1, 2025 without the Board of Trustees’ consent. TAM is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class during any of the 36 months from the date on which TAM waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the class if the class’ total annual fund operating expenses have fallen to a level below the limits described above. In no case will TAM recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the fund, in the class’ total annual operating expenses exceeding the applicable limits described above or any other lower limit then in effect.
Example: This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Only the 1 year dollar amount shown below reflects TAM's agreement to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover: The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate for the fund was 8% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies:
The fund is a fund of funds – it invests in a combination of actively managed Transamerica funds (“funds”) and index-based exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) managed by unaffiliated investment advisers.
The fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing normally in a combination of underlying funds and ETFs representing a variety of broad asset classes – including fixed-income, domestic equity, foreign equity, and real estate – and investment styles and focuses. Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may include funds that invest primarily in investment grade fixed-income securities, TIPS, or in high yield, high risk fixed-income securities rated below investment grade (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may invest in U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including corporate, mortgage- and asset-backed, government and emerging markets debt securities. Underlying equity funds and ETFs may include, but are not limited to, large cap funds, mid cap funds, small cap funds, growth-oriented funds, value-oriented funds, international equity funds, emerging market equity funds, real return funds and funds that invest in real estate-related securities, including REITs. The fund may also invest in inflation-hedging positions that fall under the broader asset categories listed above.
The fund is designed for investors expecting to retire around 2060. The fund’s asset-mix has been designed on the expectation that investors will begin to withdraw assets from the fund during 2060 and assume a retirement age of 65. The fund generally seeks to maintain a static target allocation (the “Target Allocation”) to asset classes in accordance with its glide path, as described below. The fund’s sub-adviser, Wilshire Advisors LLC (the “sub-adviser” or “Wilshire”), may periodically adjust target asset class allocations in accordance with its investment process and, in the view of
64

Wilshire, to appropriately position the fund in response to changing market environments. However, Wilshire may tactically over-weight or underweight asset classes at any time during the glide path period. This means at any time the fund’s asset mix may differ from the Target Allocation.
The fund’s current Target Allocation for domestic equity, foreign equity, fixed-income, and real estate is shown in the table below.

It is not possible to predict the extent to which the fund will be invested in a particular underlying fund or ETF at any time. The fund may be a significant shareholder in certain underlying funds or ETFs.
Each underlying fund and ETF has its own investment objective, principal investment strategies and investment risks. The sub-adviser for each underlying fund and adviser or sub-adviser for each underlying ETF decides which securities to purchase and sell for that underlying fund or ETF. The fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds and ETFs.
The “Underlying Funds” section of the prospectus lists the underlying Transamerica Funds currently available for investment by the fund, provides a summary of their respective investment objectives and principal investment strategies, and identifies certain risks of those funds.
The investment manager may change the available underlying Transamerica Funds, and the sub-adviser may change the fund’s asset allocations and underlying funds and ETFs, at any time without notice to shareholders and without shareholder approval.
Glide Path Period
Over time, the Target Allocation to asset classes will normally change according to a predetermined “glide path.” The glide path represents the shifting of these asset classes over time. Rebalancing and de-risking of the glide path will generally occur annually. The glide path is detailed in the chart below (note that “0” represents the fund’s target date and that the fund is currently “-38” years before its target date):
During the time that the fund’s Target Allocation tracks the glide path, the fund’s asset mix will gradually become more conservative until approximately 2060 at which time the Target Allocation will become static. This reflects the goal of pursuing the highest total return, consistent with a reasonable amount of risk, during the investor’s pre-retirement and early retirement years. By following these investment strategies both before and after the fund reaches its target date, the fund seeks to reduce the likelihood that an investor will experience a significant loss of capital at a more advanced age.
The Target Allocation reflected in the glide path is a “neutral” allocation, which does not reflect tactical decisions made by Wilshire to overweight or underweight a particular asset class. From time to time, Wilshire may make tactical increases or decreases to the fund’s investment in a particular asset class beyond the Target Allocation, based on a broad range of market and economic trends and quantitative factors. Wilshire may also allow the relative weightings of the fund’s investments in asset classes to vary from its Target Allocation in response to the markets. When varying exposures among underlying funds and/or ETFs, Wilshire will examine, among other things, relative values and prospects among the underlying funds and/or ETFs’ asset classes, as well as the capacity of the underlying funds and/or ETFs to absorb additional cash flow.
Static Allocation Period
The fund’s Target Allocation will become static at the target date. At that time, when the fund’s Target Allocation will match the Target Allocation of Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income (the “Retirement Fund”), the fund’s Board of Trustees may combine the fund with the Retirement Fund without shareholder approval, and the fund’s shareholders will become shareholders of the Retirement Fund. This combination would occur approximately in the year 2060. This combination is currently expected to be tax-free under current law. Shareholders will be provided with additional information at that time. The Retirement Fund’s Target Allocation is currently 59% fixed-income, 26% domestic equity, 12% foreign equity, and 3% real estate. Wilshire may tactically overweight or underweight asset classes in the fund during the Static Allocation Period and in the Retirement Fund at any time.
Principal Risks: Risk is inherent in all investing. Many factors and risks affect the fund's performance, including those described below. The value of your investment in the fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly
65

day to day and over time. You may lose part or all of your investment in the fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. In addition, you may experience losses near, at or after the target date. You should not rely solely on the target date when choosing to invest in the fund or deciding to remain invested in the fund. You should consider the fund’s investment strategies over the whole life of the fund. Unlike many other target retirement date funds, the fund may not follow the Target Allocation indicated by the glide path. There is no assurance that the fund will provide sufficient retirement income at and after the target date. The fund, through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs, is subject to the risks of the underlying funds and ETFs. The following is a summary description of principal risks (in alphabetical order after certain key risks) of investing in the fund (either directly and/or through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs). Each risk described below may not apply to each underlying fund or ETF and an underlying fund or ETF may be subject to additional or different risks than those described below. An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.You may lose money if you invest in this fund.
Market – The market prices of the fund’s securities or other assets may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, inflation, changes in interest rates, governmental actions or interventions, actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve or foreign central banks, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes or other factors, political developments, investor sentiment, the global and domestic effects of a pandemic, and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. If the market prices of the fund’s securities and assets fall, the value of your investment will go down.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, public health events (such as the spread of infectious disease), wars, terrorism, cybersecurity events, technology and data interruptions, natural disasters, and other circumstances in one or more countries or regions could be highly disruptive to, and have profound impacts on, global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments may go down.
The pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in extreme volatility in the financial markets, a domestic and global economic downturn, severe losses, particularly to some sectors of the economy and individual issuers, and reduced liquidity of many instruments. There also have been significant disruptions to business operations, including business closures; strained healthcare systems; disruptions to supply chains and employee availability; large fluctuations in consumer demand; and widespread uncertainty regarding the duration and long-term effects of the pandemic. The domestic and global economic downturn may be prolonged. The pandemic may result in domestic and foreign political and social instability, damage to diplomatic and international
trade relations, and continued volatility and/or decreased liquidity in the securities markets. Developing or emerging market countries may be more impacted by the pandemic.
The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve, as well as certain foreign governments and central banks, have taken extraordinary actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including by pushing interest rates to very low levels. This and other government intervention into the economy and financial markets to address the pandemic may not work as intended, particularly if the efforts are perceived by investors as being unlikely to achieve the desired results. Government actions to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic have resulted in large expansion of government deficits and debt, the long-term consequences of which are not known. Rates of inflation have recently risen, which could adversely affect economies and markets.
The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to adversely affect the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments, impair the fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the fund’s performance. In addition, the pandemic, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the fund by its service providers.
Underlying Exchange-Traded Funds – To the extent the fund invests its assets in underlying ETFs, its ability to achieve its investment objective will depend in part on the performance of the underlying ETFs in which it invests. Investing in underlying ETFs subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those ETFs. Each of the underlying ETFs in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying ETFs’ shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying ETF will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying ETFs in which it invests.
Underlying Funds Because the fund invests its assets in various underlying funds, its ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds in which it invests. Investing in underlying funds subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those underlying funds. Each of the underlying funds in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying funds' shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying fund will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. The “List and Description of Certain Underlying Funds” section of the fund's prospectus identifies certain risks of each underlying fund.
Asset Allocation – The fund’s investment performance is significantly impacted by the fund’s asset allocation and reallocation from time to time. The sub-adviser's decisions whether and when to tactically overweight or underweight asset classes and select a mix of underlying funds may not produce the desired results. These actions may be unsuccessful in maximizing return and/or avoiding investment losses. The value of your investment may decrease if the sub-adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular asset class, investment style, technique or strategy, underlying fund or other issuer is incorrect.

sub-adviser may favor an asset class that performs poorly relative to other asset classes. The available underlying funds selected by the sub-adviser may underperform the market or similar funds.
Equity Securities – Equity securities generally have greater risk of loss than debt securities. Stock markets are volatile and the value of equity securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of equity securities fluctuates based on real or perceived changes in a company’s financial condition, factors affecting a particular industry or industries, and overall market, economic and political conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the fund fall, the value of your investment in the fund will decline. The fund may lose its entire investment in the equity securities of an issuer. A change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer may adversely impact securities markets as a whole.
Management – The value of your investment may go down if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's judgments and decisions are incorrect or otherwise do not produce the desired results, or if the investment strategy does not work as intended. You may also suffer losses if there are imperfections, errors or limitations in the quantitative, analytic or other tools, resources, information and data used, investment techniques applied, or the analyses employed or relied on, by the investment manageror sub-adviser, if such tools, resources, information or data are used incorrectly or otherwise do not work as intended, or if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's investment style is out of favor or otherwise fails to produce the desired results. Any of these things could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.
Counterparty – The fund could lose money if the counterparties to derivatives, repurchase agreements and other financial contracts entered into for the fund do not fulfill their contractual obligations. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against a counterparty.
Credit – If an issuer or other obligor (such as a party providing insurance or other credit enhancement) of a security held by the fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the fund is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations, or is downgraded or perceived to be less creditworthy (whether by market participants or otherwise), or if the value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. A decline may be significant, particularly in certain market environments. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against an issuer, obligor or counterparty.
Currency – The value of a fund’s investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increases or decreases as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by currency risk. Currency exchange rates can be volatile and may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could reduce or eliminate investment gains or add to investment losses. A fund may be unable or may choose not to hedge its foreign currency exposure.
Derivatives – The use of derivatives involves a variety of risks, which may be different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Risks of derivatives include leverage risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, market risk, counterparty risk, credit risk, operational risk
and legal risk. Use of derivatives can increase fund losses, increase costs, reduce opportunities for gains, increase fund volatility, and not produce the result intended. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. Even a small investment in derivatives can have a disproportionate impact on the fund. Derivatives may be difficult or impossible to sell, unwind or value, and the counterparty (including, if applicable, the fund’s clearing broker, the derivatives exchange or the clearinghouse) may default on its obligations to the fund. In certain cases, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against or closing out derivatives instruments with a counterparty, which may result in additional losses. Derivatives are also generally subject to the risks applicable to the assets, rates, indices or other indicators underlying the derivative, including market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, management and valuation risk. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances or at reasonable prices. The value of a derivative may fluctuate more or less than, or otherwise not correlate well with, the underlying assets, rates, indices or other indicators to which it relates. The fund may, under the current asset segregation and coverage regulatory framework, be required to segregate or earmark liquid assets or otherwise cover its obligations under derivatives transactions and may have to liquidate positions before it is desirable in order to meet these segregation and coverage requirements. The SEC has adopted new Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for the use of derivatives by registered investment companies and set limits on a fund’s investments in derivatives. Compliance with Rule 18f-4 is not required until August 2022, but the rule may impact the fund’s use of derivatives before that date. Rule 18f-4 could have an adverse impact on the fund’s performance and its ability to implement its investment strategies as it has historically.
Emerging Markets – Investments in securities of issuers located or doing business in emerging markets are subject to heightened foreign investments risks and may experience rapid and extreme changes in value. Emerging market countries tend to have less developed and less stable economic, political and legal systems and regulatory and accounting standards, may have policies that restrict investment by foreigners or that prevent foreign investors such as the fund from withdrawing their money at will, and are more likely to experience nationalization, expropriation and confiscatory taxation. In addition, emerging market securities may have low trading volumes and may be or become illiquid.
Extension – When interest rates rise, repayments of fixed-income securities, including asset- and mortgage-backed securities, may occur more slowly than anticipated, causing their market prices to decline.
Fixed-Income Securities – Risks of fixed-income securities include credit risk, interest rate risk, counterparty risk, prepayment risk, extension risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk. The value of fixed-income securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, tariffs and trade disruptions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In addition, the value of a fixed-income security may decline if the issuer or other obligor of the security fails to pay principal and/or interest, otherwise defaults or has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be
67

less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines. If the value of fixed-income securities owned by the fund falls, the value of your investment will go down. The fund may lose its entire investment in the fixed-income securities of an issuer.
Focused Investing – To the extent the fund invests in a limited number of countries, regions, sectors, industries or market segments, in a limited number of issuers, or in issuers in related businesses or that are subject to related operating risks, the fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those countries, regions, sectors, industries, segments or issuers, and the value of its shares may be more volatile than if it invested more widely.
Foreign Investments – Investing in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involves additional risks. Foreign markets can be less liquid, less regulated, less transparent and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the fund’s foreign investments may decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of government or central bank support, tariffs and trade disruptions, sanctions, political or financial instability, social unrest or other adverse economic or political developments. Foreign investments may also be subject to different accounting practices and different regulatory, legal, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping standards and practices, and may be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers.
Growth Stocks – Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with returns on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks typically are particularly sensitive to market movements and may involve larger price swings because their market prices tend to reflect future expectations. When it appears those expectations may not be met, the prices of growth securities typically fall. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.
High-Yield Debt Securities – High-yield debt securities, commonly referred to as “junk” bonds, are securities that are rated below “investment grade” or are of comparable quality. Changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers, the creditworthiness of the issuers and negative perceptions of the junk bond market generally may significantly affect the value of these bonds. Junk bonds are considered speculative, tend to be volatile, typically have a higher risk of default, tend to be less liquid and more difficult to value than higher grade securities, and may result in losses for the fund.
Inflation – The value of assets or income from investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the fund’s assets can decline as can the value of the fund’s distributions.
Inflation-Protected Securities – Inflation-protected debt securities may react differently from other types of debt securities and tend to react to changes in “real” interest rates, which represent nominal (stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In general, the price of an inflation-protected debt security can fall when real interest rates rise, and can rise when real interest
rates fall. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable and will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation.
Interest Rate – Interest rates in the U.S. and certain foreign markets have been low relative to historic levels. The fund faces a risk that interest rates may rise. The value of fixed-income securities generally goes down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. Changes in interest rates also may affect the liquidity of the fund’s investments. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to sell fixed-income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities generally and could also result in increased redemptions from the fund. Increased redemptions could cause the fund to sell securities at inopportune times or depressed prices and result in further losses.
Large Capitalization Companies – The fund’s investments in larger, more established companies may underperform other segments of the market because they may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
Leveraging – To the extent that the fund borrows or uses derivatives or other investments, such as ETFs, that have embedded leverage, your investment may be subject to heightened volatility, risk of loss and costs. Other risks also will be compounded because leverage generally magnifies the effect of a change in the value of an asset and creates a risk of loss of value on a larger pool of assets than the fund would otherwise have. Use of leverage may result in the loss of a substantial amount, and possibly all, of the fund’s assets. The fund also may have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation, coverage or margin requirements.
Liquidity – The fund may make investments that are illiquid or that become illiquid after purchase. Illiquid investments can be difficult to value, may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid investments, and may be subject to wide fluctuations in value. If the fund is forced to sell an illiquid investment to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the fund may be forced to sell at a substantial loss or may not be able to sell at all. Liquidity of particular investments, or even entire asset classes, including U.S. Treasury securities, can deteriorate rapidly, particularly during times of market turmoil, and those investments may be difficult or impossible for the fund to sell. This may prevent the fund from limiting losses.
Mortgage-Related and Asset-Backed Securities – The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid, which could negatively impact the fund. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property. Asset-backed securities represent participations in, or are secured by and payable from, assets such as installment sales or loan contracts, leases, credit card receivables and other categories of receivables. The value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be affected by changes in credit quality or value of the mortgage loans or other assets that support
68

the securities. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment or call and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets.
Prepayment or Call – Many issuers have a right to prepay their fixed-income securities. If this happens, the fund will not benefit from the rise in the market price of the securities that normally accompanies a decline in interest rates and may be forced to reinvest the prepayment proceeds in securities with lower yields.
Real Estate Securities – Investments in the real estate industry are subject to risks associated with direct investment in real estate. These risks include declines in the value of real estate, adverse general and local economic conditions, increased competition, overbuilding and changes in laws and regulations affecting real estate, operating expenses, property taxes and interest rates. If the fund’s real estate-related investments are concentrated in one geographic area or one property type, the fund will also be subject to the risks associated with that one area or property type. The value of the fund’s real estate-related securities will not necessarily track the value of the underlying investments of the issuers of such securities.
REITs – Investing in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) involves unique risks. When the fund invests in REITs, it is subject to risks generally associated with investing in real estate. A REIT’s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns, how well it manages those properties and cash flow. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, may engage in dilutive offerings, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. In addition to its own expenses, the fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management and other expenses paid by REITs in which it invests. U.S. REITs are subject to a number of highly technical tax-related rules and requirements; and a U.S. REIT’s failure to qualify for the favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment generally available to U.S. REITs could result in corporate-level taxation, significantly reducing the return on an investment to the fund.
Small and Medium Capitalization Companies – The fund will be exposed to additional risks as a result of its investments in the securities of small or medium capitalization companies. Small or medium capitalization companies may be more at risk than large capitalization companies because, among other things, they may have limited product lines, operating history, market or financial resources, or because they may depend on a limited management group. Securities of small and medium capitalization companies may be more volatile than and may underperform large capitalization companies, may be harder to sell at times and at prices the portfolio managers believe appropriate and may offer greater potential for losses.
Valuation – The sales price the fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the fund's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets, that are priced based upon valuations provided by third party pricing services that use matrix or evaluated pricing systems, or that are valued using a fair value methodology. These differences may increase significantly and affect fund investments more broadly during periods of market volatility. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower
or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the fund had not fair-valued securities or had used a different valuation methodology. The fund’s ability to value its investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third party service providers.
Value Investing – The prices of securities the sub-adviser believes are undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated or may go down. The value approach to investing involves the risk that stocks may remain undervalued, undervaluation may become more severe, or perceived undervaluation may actually represent intrinsic value. Value stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “growth” stocks.
Performance: The bar chart and the table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The bar chart shows how the fund’s performance has varied from year to year. The table shows how the fund’s average annual total returns for different periods compare to the returns of a broad measure of market performance.
Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would be lower.

Contractual arrangements have been made with the fund’s investment manager, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), through March 1, 2025 to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses to the extent that total annual fund operating expenses exceed 0.55% for Class R6 shares, 1.20% for Class R1 shares and 0.95% for Class R3 shares, excluding, as applicable, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on securities sold short, extraordinary expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business. These arrangements cannot be terminated prior to March 1, 2025 without the Board of Trustees’ consent. TAM is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class during any of the 36 months from the date on which TAM waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the class if the class’ total annual fund operating expenses have fallen to a level below the limits described above. In no case will TAM recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the fund, in the class’ total annual operating expenses exceeding the applicable limits described above or any other lower limit then in effect.
Example: This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Only the 1 year dollar amount shown below reflects TAM's agreement to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover: The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate for the fund was 5% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies:
The fund is a fund of funds – it invests in a combination of actively managed Transamerica funds (“funds”) and index-based exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) managed by unaffiliated investment advisers.
The fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing normally in a combination of underlying funds and ETFs representing a variety of broad asset classes – including fixed-income, domestic equity, foreign equity, and real estate – and investment styles and focuses. Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may include funds that invest primarily in investment grade fixed-income securities, TIPS, or in high yield, high risk fixed-income securities rated below investment grade (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may invest in U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including corporate, mortgage- and asset-backed, government and emerging markets debt securities. Underlying equity funds and ETFs may include, but are not limited to, large cap funds, mid cap funds, small cap funds, growth-oriented funds, value-oriented funds, international equity funds, emerging market equity funds, real return funds and funds that invest in real estate-related securities, including REITs. The fund may also invest in inflation-hedging positions that fall under the broader asset categories listed above.
The fund is designed for investors who have reached retirement and generally seeks to maintain a static target allocation (the “Target Allocation”) to asset classes. The fund’s sub-adviser, Wilshire Advisors LLC (the “sub-adviser” or “Wilshire”), may periodically adjust target asset class allocations in accordance with its investment process and, in the view of Wilshire, to appropriately position the fund in response to changing market environments. However,
71

Wilshire may tactically over-weight or underweight asset classes at any time. This means at any time the fund’s asset mix may differ from the Target Allocation.
The fund’s current Target Allocation for domestic equity, foreign equity, fixed-income, and real estate is shown in the table below.

The Target Allocation is a “neutral” allocation, which does not reflect tactical decisions made by Wilshire to overweight or underweight a particular asset class. From time to time, Wilshire may make tactical increases or decreases to the fund’s investment in a particular asset class beyond the Target Allocation, based on a broad range of market and economic trends and quantitative factors. Wilshire may also allow the relative weightings of the fund’s investments in asset classes to vary from its Target Allocation in response to the markets. When varying exposures among underlying funds and/or ETFs, Wilshire will examine, among other things, relative values and prospects among the underlying funds and/or ETFs asset classes, as well as the capacity of the underlying funds and/or ETFs to absorb additional cash flow.
Ordinarily, the fund’s investment in fixed-income, domestic equity, foreign equity, and real estate is not expected to vary from the Target Allocation for that asset class by more than plus/minus 10%. Beyond that range, Wilshire will generally rebalance the fund.
It is not possible to predict the extent to which the fund will be invested in a particular underlying fund or ETF at any time. The fund may be a significant shareholder in certain underlying funds or ETFs.
Each underlying fund and ETF has its own investment objective, principal investment strategies and investment risks. The sub-adviser for each underlying fund and adviser or sub-adviser for each underlying ETF decides which securities to purchase and sell for that underlying fund or ETF. The fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds and ETFs.
The “Underlying Funds” section of the prospectus lists the underlying Transamerica Funds currently available for investment by the fund, provides a summary of their respective investment objectives and principal investment strategies, and identifies certain risks of those funds.
The investment manager may change the available underlying Transamerica Funds, and the sub-adviser may change the fund’s asset allocations and underlying funds and ETFs, at any time without notice to shareholders and without shareholder approval.
Principal Risks:
Risk is inherent in all investing. Many factors and risks affect the fund's performance, including those described below. The value of your investment in the fund, as well as the amount of return you
receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly day to day and over time. You may lose part or all of your investment in the fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. Unlike many other retirement funds, the fund may periodically adjust its Target Allocation. There is no assurance that the fund will provide sufficient retirement income. The fund, through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs, is subject to the risks of the underlying funds and ETFs. The following is a summary description of principal risks (in alphabetical order after certain key risks) of investing in the fund (either directly and/or through its investments in underlying funds and ETFs). Each risk described below may not apply to each underlying fund or ETF and an underlying fund or ETF may be subject to additional or different risks than those described below. An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.You may lose money if you invest in this fund.
Market – The market prices of the fund’s securities or other assets may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, inflation, changes in interest rates, governmental actions or interventions, actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve or foreign central banks, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes or other factors, political developments, investor sentiment, the global and domestic effects of a pandemic, and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. If the market prices of the fund’s securities and assets fall, the value of your investment will go down.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, public health events (such as the spread of infectious disease), wars, terrorism, cybersecurity events, technology and data interruptions, natural disasters, and other circumstances in one or more countries or regions could be highly disruptive to, and have profound impacts on, global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments may go down.
The pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in extreme volatility in the financial markets, a domestic and global economic downturn, severe losses, particularly to some sectors of the economy and individual issuers, and reduced liquidity of many instruments. There also have been significant disruptions to business operations, including business closures; strained healthcare systems; disruptions to supply chains and employee availability; large fluctuations in consumer demand; and widespread uncertainty regarding the duration and long-term effects of the pandemic. The domestic and global economic downturn may be prolonged. The pandemic may result in domestic and foreign political and social instability, damage to diplomatic and international trade relations, and continued volatility and/or decreased liquidity in the securities markets. Developing or emerging market countries may be more impacted by the pandemic.

The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve, as well as certain foreign governments and central banks, have taken extraordinary actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including by pushing interest rates to very low levels. This and other government intervention into the economy and financial markets to address the pandemic may not work as intended, particularly if the efforts are perceived by investors as being unlikely to achieve the desired results. Government actions to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic have resulted in large expansion of government deficits and debt, the long-term consequences of which are not known. Rates of inflation have recently risen, which could adversely affect economies and markets.
The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to adversely affect the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments, impair the fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the fund’s performance. In addition, the pandemic, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the fund by its service providers.
Underlying Exchange-Traded Funds – To the extent the fund invests its assets in underlying ETFs, its ability to achieve its investment objective will depend in part on the performance of the underlying ETFs in which it invests. Investing in underlying ETFs subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those ETFs. Each of the underlying ETFs in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying ETFs’ shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying ETF will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying ETFs in which it invests.
Underlying Funds Because the fund invests its assets in various underlying funds, its ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds in which it invests. Investing in underlying funds subjects the fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those underlying funds. Each of the underlying funds in which the fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying funds' shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying fund will be achieved. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. The “List and Description of Certain Underlying Funds” section of the fund's prospectus identifies certain risks of each underlying fund.
Asset Allocation – The fund’s investment performance is significantly impacted by the fund’s asset allocation and reallocation from time to time. The sub-adviser's decisions whether and when to tactically overweight or underweight asset classes and select a mix of underlying funds may not produce the desired results. These actions may be unsuccessful in maximizing return and/or avoiding investment losses. The value of your investment may decrease if the sub-adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular asset class, investment style, technique or strategy, underlying fund or other issuer is incorrect. The sub-adviser may favor an asset class that
performs poorly relative to other asset classes. The available underlying funds selected by the sub-adviser may underperform the market or similar funds.
Interest Rate – Interest rates in the U.S. and certain foreign markets have been low relative to historic levels. The fund faces a risk that interest rates may rise. The value of fixed-income securities generally goes down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. Changes in interest rates also may affect the liquidity of the fund’s investments. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to sell fixed-income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities generally and could also result in increased redemptions from the fund. Increased redemptions could cause the fund to sell securities at inopportune times or depressed prices and result in further losses.
Fixed-Income Securities – Risks of fixed-income securities include credit risk, interest rate risk, counterparty risk, prepayment risk, extension risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk. The value of fixed-income securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, tariffs and trade disruptions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In addition, the value of a fixed-income security may decline if the issuer or other obligor of the security fails to pay principal and/or interest, otherwise defaults or has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines. If the value of fixed-income securities owned by the fund falls, the value of your investment will go down. The fund may lose its entire investment in the fixed-income securities of an issuer.
Inflation – The value of assets or income from investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the fund’s assets can decline as can the value of the fund’s distributions.
Equity Securities – Equity securities generally have greater risk of loss than debt securities. Stock markets are volatile and the value of equity securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of equity securities fluctuates based on real or perceived changes in a company’s financial condition, factors affecting a particular industry or industries, and overall market, economic and political conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the fund fall, the value of your investment in the fund will decline. The fund may lose its entire investment in the equity securities of an issuer. A change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer may adversely impact securities markets as a whole.
Management – The value of your investment may go down if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's judgments and decisions are incorrect or otherwise do not produce the desired results, or if the investment strategy does not work as intended. You may also suffer losses if there are imperfections, errors or limitations in the quantitative, analytic or other tools, resources, information and data used, investment techniques applied, or the analyses employed or relied on, by the investment manageror sub-adviser, if such tools, resources, information or data are used incorrectly or otherwise do not work as intended, or if the investment manager’s
73

or sub-adviser's investment style is out of favor or otherwise fails to produce the desired results. Any of these things could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.
Counterparty – The fund could lose money if the counterparties to derivatives, repurchase agreements and other financial contracts entered into for the fund do not fulfill their contractual obligations. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against a counterparty.
Credit – If an issuer or other obligor (such as a party providing insurance or other credit enhancement) of a security held by the fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the fund is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations, or is downgraded or perceived to be less creditworthy (whether by market participants or otherwise), or if the value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. A decline may be significant, particularly in certain market environments. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against an issuer, obligor or counterparty.
Currency – The value of a fund’s investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increases or decreases as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by currency risk. Currency exchange rates can be volatile and may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could reduce or eliminate investment gains or add to investment losses. A fund may be unable or may choose not to hedge its foreign currency exposure.
Derivatives – The use of derivatives involves a variety of risks, which may be different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Risks of derivatives include leverage risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, market risk, counterparty risk, credit risk, operational risk and legal risk. Use of derivatives can increase fund losses, increase costs, reduce opportunities for gains, increase fund volatility, and not produce the result intended. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. Even a small investment in derivatives can have a disproportionate impact on the fund. Derivatives may be difficult or impossible to sell, unwind or value, and the counterparty (including, if applicable, the fund’s clearing broker, the derivatives exchange or the clearinghouse) may default on its obligations to the fund. In certain cases, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against or closing out derivatives instruments with a counterparty, which may result in additional losses. Derivatives are also generally subject to the risks applicable to the assets, rates, indices or other indicators underlying the derivative, including market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, management and valuation risk. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances or at reasonable prices. The value of a derivative may fluctuate more or less than, or otherwise not correlate well with, the underlying assets, rates, indices or other indicators to which it relates. The fund may, under the current asset segregation and coverage regulatory framework, be required to segregate or earmark liquid assets or otherwise cover its obligations under derivatives transactions and may have to liquidate positions before
it is desirable in order to meet these segregation and coverage requirements. The SEC has adopted new Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for the use of derivatives by registered investment companies and set limits on a fund’s investments in derivatives. Compliance with Rule 18f-4 is not required until August 2022, but the rule may impact the fund’s use of derivatives before that date. Rule 18f-4 could have an adverse impact on the fund’s performance and its ability to implement its investment strategies as it has historically.
Emerging Markets – Investments in securities of issuers located or doing business in emerging markets are subject to heightened foreign investments risks and may experience rapid and extreme changes in value. Emerging market countries tend to have less developed and less stable economic, political and legal systems and regulatory and accounting standards, may have policies that restrict investment by foreigners or that prevent foreign investors such as the fund from withdrawing their money at will, and are more likely to experience nationalization, expropriation and confiscatory taxation. In addition, emerging market securities may have low trading volumes and may be or become illiquid.
Extension – When interest rates rise, repayments of fixed-income securities, including asset- and mortgage-backed securities, may occur more slowly than anticipated, causing their market prices to decline.
Focused Investing – To the extent the fund invests in a limited number of countries, regions, sectors, industries or market segments, in a limited number of issuers, or in issuers in related businesses or that are subject to related operating risks, the fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those countries, regions, sectors, industries, segments or issuers, and the value of its shares may be more volatile than if it invested more widely.
Foreign Investments – Investing in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involves additional risks. Foreign markets can be less liquid, less regulated, less transparent and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the fund’s foreign investments may decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of government or central bank support, tariffs and trade disruptions, sanctions, political or financial instability, social unrest or other adverse economic or political developments. Foreign investments may also be subject to different accounting practices and different regulatory, legal, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping standards and practices, and may be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers.
Growth Stocks – Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with returns on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks typically are particularly sensitive to market movements and may involve larger price swings because their market prices tend to reflect future expectations. When it appears those expectations may not be met, the prices of growth securities typically fall. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.
High-Yield Debt Securities – High-yield debt securities, commonly referred to as “junk” bonds, are securities that are rated below “investment grade” or are of comparable quality. Changes
74

in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers, the creditworthiness of the issuers and negative perceptions of the junk bond market generally may significantly affect the value of these bonds. Junk bonds are considered speculative, tend to be volatile, typically have a higher risk of default, tend to be less liquid and more difficult to value than higher grade securities, and may result in losses for the fund.
Inflation-Protected Securities – Inflation-protected debt securities may react differently from other types of debt securities and tend to react to changes in “real” interest rates, which represent nominal (stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In general, the price of an inflation-protected debt security can fall when real interest rates rise, and can rise when real interest rates fall. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable and will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation.
Large Capitalization Companies – The fund’s investments in larger, more established companies may underperform other segments of the market because they may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
Leveraging – To the extent that the fund borrows or uses derivatives or other investments, such as ETFs, that have embedded leverage, your investment may be subject to heightened volatility, risk of loss and costs. Other risks also will be compounded because leverage generally magnifies the effect of a change in the value of an asset and creates a risk of loss of value on a larger pool of assets than the fund would otherwise have. Use of leverage may result in the loss of a substantial amount, and possibly all, of the fund’s assets. The fund also may have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation, coverage or margin requirements.
Liquidity – The fund may make investments that are illiquid or that become illiquid after purchase. Illiquid investments can be difficult to value, may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid investments, and may be subject to wide fluctuations in value. If the fund is forced to sell an illiquid investment to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the fund may be forced to sell at a substantial loss or may not be able to sell at all. Liquidity of particular investments, or even entire asset classes, including U.S. Treasury securities, can deteriorate rapidly, particularly during times of market turmoil, and those investments may be difficult or impossible for the fund to sell. This may prevent the fund from limiting losses.
Mortgage-Related and Asset-Backed Securities – The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid, which could negatively impact the fund. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property. Asset-backed securities represent participations in, or are secured by and payable from, assets such as installment sales or loan contracts, leases, credit card receivables and other categories of receivables. The value of mortgage-backed
and asset-backed securities may be affected by changes in credit quality or value of the mortgage loans or other assets that support the securities. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment or call and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets.
Prepayment or Call – Many issuers have a right to prepay their fixed-income securities. If this happens, the fund will not benefit from the rise in the market price of the securities that normally accompanies a decline in interest rates and may be forced to reinvest the prepayment proceeds in securities with lower yields.
Real Estate Securities – Investments in the real estate industry are subject to risks associated with direct investment in real estate. These risks include declines in the value of real estate, adverse general and local economic conditions, increased competition, overbuilding and changes in laws and regulations affecting real estate, operating expenses, property taxes and interest rates. If the fund’s real estate-related investments are concentrated in one geographic area or one property type, the fund will also be subject to the risks associated with that one area or property type. The value of the fund’s real estate-related securities will not necessarily track the value of the underlying investments of the issuers of such securities.
REITs – Investing in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) involves unique risks. When the fund invests in REITs, it is subject to risks generally associated with investing in real estate. A REIT’s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns, how well it manages those properties and cash flow. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, may engage in dilutive offerings, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. In addition to its own expenses, the fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management and other expenses paid by REITs in which it invests. U.S. REITs are subject to a number of highly technical tax-related rules and requirements; and a U.S. REIT’s failure to qualify for the favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment generally available to U.S. REITs could result in corporate-level taxation, significantly reducing the return on an investment to the fund.
Small and Medium Capitalization Companies – The fund will be exposed to additional risks as a result of its investments in the securities of small or medium capitalization companies. Small or medium capitalization companies may be more at risk than large capitalization companies because, among other things, they may have limited product lines, operating history, market or financial resources, or because they may depend on a limited management group. Securities of small and medium capitalization companies may be more volatile than and may underperform large capitalization companies, may be harder to sell at times and at prices the portfolio managers believe appropriate and may offer greater potential for losses.
Valuation – The sales price the fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the fund's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets, that are priced based upon valuations provided by third party pricing services that use matrix or evaluated pricing systems, or that are valued using a fair value methodology. These differences may increase significantly and affect fund investments
75

more broadly during periods of market volatility. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the fund had not fair-valued securities or had used a different valuation methodology. The fund’s ability to value its investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third party service providers.
Value Investing – The prices of securities the sub-adviser believes are undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated or may go down. The value approach to investing involves the risk that stocks may remain undervalued, undervaluation may become more severe, or perceived undervaluation may actually represent intrinsic value. Value stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “growth” stocks.

More on Each Fund’s Strategies and Investments
The following provides additional information regarding each fund’s strategies and investments described at the front of this prospectus. Except as otherwise expressly stated for a particular fund in this prospectus or in the statement of additional information or as required by law, there is no limit on the amount of each fund’s assets that may be invested in a particular type of security or investment. Each fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval.
Each fund is a “fund of funds”—it invests primarily in a combination of actively managed Transamerica funds (“funds”) and index-based exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) managed by unaffiliated investment advisers.
Each fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing normally in a combination of underlying funds and ETFs representing a variety of broad asset classes – including fixed-income, domestic equity, foreign equity, and real estate – and investment styles and focuses. Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may include funds that invest primarily in investment grade fixed-income securities, TIPS, or in high yield, high risk fixed-income securities rated below investment grade (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Underlying fixed-income funds and ETFs may invest in U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including corporate, mortgage- and asset-backed, government and emerging markets debt securities. Underlying equity funds and ETFs may include, but are not limited to, large cap funds, mid cap funds, small cap funds, growth-oriented funds, value-oriented funds, international equity funds, emerging market equity funds, real return funds and funds that invest in real estate-related securities, including REITs. Each fund may also invest in inflation-hedging positions that fall under the broader asset categories listed above.
Each fund generally seeks to maintain a static target allocation (the “Target Allocation”) to asset classes in accordance with its glide path, as described below. The funds’ sub-adviser, Wilshire Advisors LLC (the “sub-adviser” or “Wilshire”), may periodically adjust target asset class allocations in accordance with its investment process and, in the view of Wilshire, to appropriately position a fund in response to changing market environments. However, Wilshire may tactically over-weight or underweight asset classes at any time during the glide path period. This means at any time a fund’s asset mix may differ from its Target Allocation.
It is not possible to predict the extent to which a fund will be invested in a particular underlying fund or ETF at any time. Each fund may be a significant shareholder in certain underlying funds or ETFs.
Each underlying fund and ETF has its own investment objective, principal investment strategies and investment risks. The sub-adviser for each underlying fund and adviser or sub-adviser for each underlying ETF decides which securities to purchase and sell for that underlying fund or ETF. A fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds and ETFs.
The “Underlying Funds” section of the prospectus lists the underlying Transamerica Funds currently available for investment by the funds, provides a summary of their respective investment objectives and principal investment strategies, and identifies certain risks of those funds.
The investment manager may change the available underlying Transamerica Funds, and the sub-adviser may change each fund’s asset allocations and underlying funds and ETFs, at any time without notice to shareholders and without shareholder approval. Decisions to sell shares of an underlying fund or ETF are made to adjust the Target Allocation of a fund based on the sub-adviser’s view of the underlying fund’s or ETF’s characteristics and other allocation criteria, to facilitate redemptions, or as a result of periodic rebalancing of a fund’s holdings.
All Funds (other than Transamerica ClearTrack® 2015, Transamerica ClearTrack® 2020 and Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income)
Each fund is managed to the specific target date included in its name, which is intended to coincide, generally, with an investor’s retirement year, and is designed for investors expecting to retire around the target date. The year specified in a fund’s name, however, is intended as a general guide, and may not necessarily represent an investor’s retirement year or the year when an investor may plan to withdraw substantially all of his or her assets from a fund. The asset mix in each fund has been designed on the expectation that investors will begin to withdraw assets from the fund during the year specified in the fund’s name and assumes a retirement age of 65. You should take these factors into consideration when deciding on an investment in the funds.
The following chart shows the Target Allocation by retirement year for domestic equity, foreign equity, fixed-income, and real estate as of the date of this prospectus. The funds’ shareholder reports set forth their actual allocation to individual underlying funds.

The Target Allocation does not include a set allocation to short-term defensive instruments. Each fund may hold short-term defensive instruments, such as cash, money market ETFs, treasury bills or short-term fixed-income ETFs, for defensive or liquidity purposes.
Glide Path Period
Over time, the Target Allocation to asset classes will normally change according to a predetermined “glide path” shown in the following chart. The glide path represents the shifting of these asset classes over time. Rebalancing and de-risking of the glide path will generally occur annually. The glide path is detailed in the chart below (note that “0” represents the target date):
   
During the time that a fund’s Target Allocation tracks the glide path, the fund’s asset mix will gradually become more conservative until approximately the target date, at which time the Target Allocation will become static. This reflects the goal of pursuing the highest total return, consistent with a reasonable amount of risk, during the investor’s pre-retirement and early retirement years. By following these investment strategies both before and after a fund reaches its target date, the fund seeks to reduce the likelihood that an investor will experience a significant loss of capital at a more advanced age.
The Target Allocations reflected in the glide path are “neutral” allocations, which do not reflect tactical decisions made by Wilshire to overweight or underweight a particular asset class. From time to time, Wilshire may make tactical increases or decreases to a fund’s investment in a particular asset class beyond the Target Allocation, based on a broad range of market and economic trends and quantitative factors. Wilshire may also allow the relative weightings of a fund’s investments in asset classes to vary from its Target Allocation in response to the markets. When varying exposures among underlying funds and/or ETFs, Wilshire will examine, among other things, relative values and prospects among the underlying funds and/or ETFs’ asset classes, as well as the capacity of the underlying funds and/or ETFs to absorb additional cash flow.
Static Allocation Period
A fund’s Target Allocation will become static at the target date. At that time, when the fund’s Target Allocation matches the Target Allocation of Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income, the fund’s Board of Trustees may combine the fund with Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income without shareholder approval, and the fund’s shareholders will become shareholders of Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income. This combination is currently expected to be tax-free under current law. Shareholders will be
79

provided with additional information at that time. Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income’s Target Allocation is currently 59% fixed-income, 26% domestic equity, 12% foreign equity, and 3% real estate. Wilshire may tactically overweight or underweight asset classes in each fund during the Static Allocation Period and in Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income at any time.
Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income, Transamerica ClearTrack® 2015 and Transamerica ClearTrack® 2020
Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income, Transamerica ClearTrack® 2015 and Transamerica ClearTrack® 2020 generally maintain a static Target Allocation. However, Wilshire may tactically overweight or underweight asset classes at any time. This means at any time the funds’ asset mix may be significantly different than the Target Allocation.
The funds’ current Target Allocation for domestic equity, foreign equity, fixed-income, and real estate is shown in the table below, which corresponds to the Target Allocation at the point of conversion to the static portfolio shown in the glide path chart:

The Target Allocation does not include a set allocation to short-term defensive instruments. The funds may hold short-term defensive instruments, such as cash, money market ETFs, treasury bills or short-term fixed-income ETFs, for defensive or liquidity purposes.
Wilshire may, from time to time and in consultation with TAM, adjust the Target Allocation or add or delete underlying funds for the funds. Such adjustments may be made to reflect secular shifts or fundamental changes in the investment environment or to change the underlying funds that invest in a particular asset class.
Each fund’s investment strategies may be changed without shareholder approval. Each fund’s investment objectives may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval.
Underlying ETFs
This section lists the underlying ETFs in which some or all of the funds may invest, as well as a summary of the investment objectives and principal investment strategies of the underlying ETFs. Wilshire, in consultation with TAM, may from time to time add or delete underlying ETFs without notice to shareholders and without shareholder approval. Such adjustments may be made to reflect fundamental changes in the investment environment or to change the underlying ETFs that invest in a particular asset class. Wilshire expects that any such adjustments will be made infrequently.
The underlying ETFs are managed by unaffiliated investment advisers. The summary of each underlying ETF’s investment objectives and principal investment strategies is based on the most recent prospectus of the underlying ETF available as of the date of this prospectus.
As indicated below, certain underlying ETFs implement a “Full” replication strategy while other underlying ETFs implement an “Optimized” replication strategy. A “Full” replication strategy means that the underlying ETF holds all of the securities on the applicable index in the same proportions as the index. An “Optimized” replication strategy means that the underlying ETF holds fewer than all of the securities on the applicable index and may hold some securities not on the index. An underlying ETF may implement an “Optimized” replication strategy because of asset levels or because certain securities on the index are less liquid and difficult to buy and sell. For underlying ETFs implementing an “Optimized” replication strategy, there is a greater potential risk of divergence between the underlying ETF’s return and that of the applicable index.

More on Risks of Investing in the Funds 
The value of your investment in a fund changes with the values of that fund’s investments. Many factors and risks can affect those values, including the risks described below. There is no guarantee that a fund will be able to achieve its investment objective. It is possible to lose money by investing in a fund.
Some of the risks of investing in the funds, including the principal risks of the funds, are discussed below. Each fund may be subject to factors and risks other than those identified in this prospectus, and these other factors and risks could adversely affect the fund’s investment results. More information about risks appears in the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”). Before investing, you should carefully consider the risks that you will assume.
Absence of Regulation: A fund may engage in over-the-counter (“OTC”) transactions, which trade in a dealer network, rather than on an exchange. In general, there is less governmental regulation and supervision of transactions in the OTC markets than of transactions entered into on organized exchanges. Transactions in the OTC markets also are subject to the credit risk of the counterparty.
Asset Allocation: A fund’s investment performance is significantly impacted by the fund’s asset allocation and reallocation from time to time. The sub-adviser’s decisions regarding whether and when to tactically overweight or underweight asset classes and select a mix of underlying funds may not produce the desired results. These actions may be unsuccessful in maximizing return and/or avoiding investment losses. The value of your investment may decrease if the sub-adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular asset class, investment style, technique or strategy, underlying fund or other issuer is incorrect. The sub-adviser may favor an asset class that performs poorly relative to other asset classes. The available underlying funds selected by the sub-adviser may underperform the market or similar funds.
Cash Management and Defensive Investing: The value of investments held by a fund for cash management or defensive investing purposes can fluctuate. Like other fixed-income securities, cash and cash equivalent securities are subject to risk, including market, interest rate and credit risk. If a fund holds cash uninvested, the fund will be subject to the credit risk of the depository institution holding the cash, it will not earn income on the cash and the fund’s yield will go down. If a significant amount of a fund’s assets are used for cash management or defensive investing purposes, it may not achieve its investment objective.
Conflicts of Interest: Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and personnel (collectively, for purposes of this risk, “Transamerica”) are engaged in a variety of businesses and have interests other than those related to managing the funds. Transamerica is a diversified global financial services company with many lines of business providing a wide range of financial services. The broad range of activities and interests of Transamerica gives rise to actual, potential and perceived conflicts of interest that could affect the funds and their shareholders.
Certain actual and potential conflicts of interest are described below. A further discussion of conflicts of interest appears in the SAI. These discussions are not, and are not intended to be, a complete enumeration or description of all the actual and potential conflicts that Transamerica has now or may have in the future. Other conflicts may arise from time to time.
TAM and the funds have adopted practices, policies and procedures that are intended to identify, manage and, where possible, mitigate conflicts of interest. There is no assurance, however, that these practices, policies and procedures will be effective, and these practices, policies and procedures may limit the funds’ investment activities and adversely affect their performance.
Activities on Behalf of Other Funds and Accounts. Transamerica manages or advises other funds and products in addition to the funds, including Transamerica’s own accounts and accounts in which Transamerica or its personnel have an interest. Certain other funds and products have investment objectives similar to, the same as or opposite to those of the funds and/or engage in transactions in the same types of securities and instruments as the funds. Such transactions could affect the prices and availability of the securities and instruments in which a fund invests, and could have an adverse impact on the fund’s performance. These other accounts and products may buy or sell positions while the funds are undertaking the same or a differing, including potentially opposite, strategy, which could disadvantage the funds. A position taken by Transamerica, on behalf of one or more other funds or products, may be contrary to a position taken on behalf of a fund or may be adverse to a company or issuer in which the fund has invested. A fund on the one hand, and Transamerica or other funds or products, on the other hand, may vote differently on matters affecting, or take or refrain from taking different actions with respect to, the same security, which are disadvantageous to the fund. The results of the investment activities of a fund may differ significantly from the results achieved for other funds or products. Transamerica may receive more compensation, including a performance allocation, with respect to certain other funds or products than is received with respect to a fund.
Selection of Service Providers. TAM and certain of its affiliates provide services including investment management, administration, sub-advisory, shareholder servicing, distribution, and transfer agency services to the funds and earn fees from these relationships with the funds. TAM and its affiliates face conflicts of interest when the funds select affiliated service providers because TAM and/or its
83

affiliates receive greater compensation when they are used. The funds expect to engage unaffiliated service providers that in certain cases also provide services to Transamerica or other funds or products or that hire Transamerica to provide services to the service providers’ clients. These service providers may have business, financial or other relationships with Transamerica, which may influence TAM’s recommendation of these service providers for the funds.
Sales Incentives and Relationships. Transamerica and other financial service providers have conflicts associated with their promotion of the funds or other dealings with the funds that would create incentives for them to promote the funds. Transamerica will benefit from increased amounts of assets under management. Transamerica and its personnel have relationships (both involving and not involving the funds) with distributors, consultants and others who sell or recommend the funds or other funds or products, and such parties may receive compensation from Transamerica or the funds or Other Accounts in connection with such relationships. Transamerica and/or the funds’ sub-advisers or their affiliates, make revenue sharing payments to brokers and other financial intermediaries to promote the distribution of the funds. Transamerica also receives revenue sharing payments from certain of the funds’ sub-advisers or their affiliates. These payments present certain conflicts of interest and may provide a disincentive for TAM to recommend the termination of such sub-advisers.
Transamerica Insurance Companies. The performance of certain funds impacts Transamerica’s financial exposure under guarantees that the Transamerica insurance companies provide as issuers of certain variable insurance contracts. TAM’s investment decisions and the design of the applicable funds may be influenced by these factors. Certain non-public portfolio holdings and certain analytical information and algorithm and trade data concerning certain funds is disclosed to the Transamerica insurance companies solely to allow them to hedge their obligations under the variable insurance contracts. This information may only be provided in accordance with procedures approved by the funds’ Board of Trustees governing the sharing of such information.
Transamerica Asset Allocation Fund Allocations. TAM serves as investment manager to and is responsible for all aspects of the day-to-day investment advice and management of certain funds of funds that invest in underlying Transamerica funds and is subject to conflicts of interest in allocating the funds of funds’ assets among the underlying funds. For certain other funds of funds, TAM has hired a sub-adviser and benefits when the sub-adviser allocates the fund of funds’ assets to a Transamerica fund. TAM has designed certain funds of funds where only Transamerica funds are underlying investment options. This means that TAM or the fund of funds’ sub-adviser does not, nor does it expect to, consider any unaffiliated funds as underlying investment options for the fund of funds, even if unaffiliated funds have better investment performance or lower total expenses. TAM and its affiliates will receive more revenue when TAM or a sub-adviser selects a Transamerica fund rather than an unaffiliated fund for inclusion in a fund of funds and could result in the selection of funds with relatively lower historical investment results. TAM has an incentive for the funds of funds’ assets to be allocated to those underlying funds for which the net management fees payable to TAM are higher than the fees payable by other underlying funds or to those underlying funds for which an affiliate of TAM serves as the sub-adviser. TAM also has an incentive for a fund of funds’ assets to be allocated to subscale underlying Transamerica funds to provide scale and reduce amounts waived and/or reimbursed by TAM to maintain applicable expense caps. Sub-advisers to certain funds of funds also have conflicts of interest in allocating the funds of funds’ assets among underlying funds. TAM Compliance monitors allocation changes by the funds of funds.
Fund Structuring and Changes. TAM may have a financial incentive to implement or not to implement certain changes to the funds. For example, TAM may, from time to time, recommend a change in sub-adviser or the combination of two or more funds. Transamerica will benefit to the extent that an affiliated sub-adviser replaces an unaffiliated sub-adviser or additional assets are combined into a fund having a higher net management fee payable to TAM and/or that is sub-advised by an affiliate of TAM. TAM will also benefit to the extent that it replaces a sub-adviser with a new sub-adviser with a lower sub-advisory fee.
Aggregation of Assets. The aggregation of assets of multiple funds and/or other funds or products for purposes of calculating breakpoints or discounts in sub-advisory fees based on the level of assets allocated to a sub-adviser across funds or otherwise, as applicable, give rise to actual, potential and/or perceived conflicts of interest that could disadvantage the funds and their shareholders.
Valuation of Investments. TAM performs certain valuation services related to securities and assets held in the funds. TAM performs such valuation services in accordance with valuation policies and procedures. TAM may value an identical asset differently than a Transamerica affiliate. This is particularly the case in respect of difficult-to-value assets. TAM faces a conflict with respect to valuations generally because of their effect on TAM’s fees and other compensation. Valuation decisions by TAM may also result in improved performance of the funds.
Other Relationships and Benefits. Transamerica has existing and may have potential future other business dealings or relationships with current or proposed sub-advisers or other fund service providers (or their affiliates) recommended by TAM. Such other business dealings or relationships present conflicts of interest that could influence TAM’s selection and retention or termination of sub-advisers or service providers. For example, TAM has an incentive to hire as a sub-adviser or other service provider an entity with which TAM or one or more of its affiliates have, or would like to have, significant or other business dealings or arrangements, and TAM has a disincentive to recommend the termination of such a sub-adviser or service provider when doing so could be adverse to TAM’s and/or its affiliates’ relationships or other business dealings with such parties.
84

Sub-Advisers. The range of activities, services and interests of a sub-adviser may give rise to actual, potential and/or perceived conflicts of interest that could disadvantage a fund and its shareholders. Such conflicts of interest are in some cases similar to and in other cases different from or supplement those described above relating to Transamerica. For example, a sub-adviser’s portfolio managers may manage multiple funds and accounts for multiple clients which may give rise to actual or potential conflicts of interest. A sub-adviser and/or its respective affiliates also may derive ancillary benefits from providing investment sub-advisory services to a fund.
Counterparty: A fund could lose money if the counterparties to derivatives, repurchase agreements and other financial contracts entered into for the fund do not fulfill their contractual obligations. Adverse changes to counterparties may cause the value of financial contracts to go down. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the fund may decline. In addition, the fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against a counterparty.
Credit: The value of your investment in a fund could decline if the issuer of a security held by the fund or another obligor for that security (such as a party providing insurance or other credit enhancement) fails to pay, otherwise defaults, is perceived (whether by market participants, ratings agencies or otherwise) to be less creditworthy, becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy. Changes in actual or perceived creditworthiness may occur quickly. The value of your investment in a fund could also decline if the credit rating of a security held by the fund is downgraded or the credit quality or value of any assets underlying the security declines. A decline may be significant, particularly in certain market environments. If a single entity provides credit enhancement to more than one of the fund’s investments, the adverse effects resulting from the downgrade or default will increase the adverse effects on a fund. If a fund enters into financial contracts (such as certain derivatives, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and when-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment transactions), the fund will be subject to the credit risk presented by the counterparty. In addition, a fund may incur expenses and may be hindered or delayed in an effort to protect the fund’s interests or to enforce its rights. The degree of credit risk of a security or financial contract depends upon, among other things, the financial condition of the issuer and the terms of the security or contract. Credit risk may be broadly gauged by the credit ratings of the securities in which a fund invests. However, ratings are only the opinions of the companies issuing them and are not guarantees as to quality. Credit rating may also be influenced by conflicts of interest. Securities rated in the lowest category of investment grade (Baa/BBB or Baa-/BBB-) may possess certain speculative characteristics, and a fund is subject to greater credit risk to the extent it invests in below investment grade securities (that is, securities rated below the Baa/BBB categories or unrated securities of comparable quality), or “junk” bonds. Credit risk is also greater to the extent a fund uses leverage or derivatives in connection with the management of the fund.
A fund may invest in securities which are subordinated to more senior securities of the issuer, or which represent interests in pools of such subordinated securities. A fund is more likely to suffer a credit loss on subordinated securities than on non-subordinated securities of the same issuer. If there is a default, bankruptcy or liquidation of the issuer, most subordinated securities are paid only if sufficient assets remain after payment of the issuer's non-subordinated securities. In addition, any recovery of interest or principal may take more time. As a result, even a perceived decline in creditworthiness of the issuer is likely to have a greater impact on subordinated securities.
Currency: The value of a fund’s investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increases or decreases as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by currency risk, as the revenue earned by issuers of these securities may also be impacted by changes in the issuer’s local currency. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could reduce or eliminate investment gains or add to investment losses. Currency exchange rates can be volatile and may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time, and they are affected by factors such as general economic conditions, the actions of the U.S. and foreign governments or central banks, the imposition of currency controls, and speculation. A fund may be positively or negatively affected by government strategies intended to make the U.S. dollar, or other currencies to which the fund has exposure, stronger or weaker. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets, and currency risk may be particularly high to the extent the fund invests in foreign securities or currencies that are economically tied to emerging market or frontier market countries. A fund may be unable or may choose not to hedge its foreign currency exposure. Derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies are also subject to these risks.
Cybersecurity and Operations: A fund, and its service providers and distribution platforms, and your ability to transact with a fund, may be negatively impacted by, among other things, human error, systems and technology disruptions or failures, or cybersecurity incidents. Cybersecurity incidents may allow an unauthorized party to gain access to fund assets, shareholder data (including private shareholder information), and/or proprietary information, or cause a fund, TAM, a sub-adviser and/or its service providers (including, but not limited to, fund accountants, custodians, sub-custodians, transfer agents and financial intermediaries) to suffer data breaches, data corruption or loss of operational functionality. A cybersecurity incident or operational issue may disrupt the processing of shareholder transactions, impact a fund's ability to calculate its net asset values, prevent shareholders from redeeming their shares, or result in financial losses to a fund and its shareholders. Issuers of securities in which a fund invests are also subject to cybersecurity risks, and the value of those securities could decline if the issuers experience cybersecurity incidents or operational issues. In addition, other significant events (e.g., natural disasters or global health emergencies), and measures taken to respond to them and mitigate their effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to a fund by its service providers.
85

Derivatives: Derivatives involve special risks and costs which may be different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds and may result in losses. Risks of derivatives include leverage risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, market risk, counterparty risk, credit risk, operational risk (such as documentation issues and settlement issues) and legal risk (such as insufficient documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of a counterparty, or issues with the legality or enforceability of a contract). Use of derivatives can increase fund losses, increase costs, reduce opportunities for gains, increase fund volatility, and not produce the result intended. Even a small investment in derivatives can have a disproportionate impact on a fund. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. This risk is greater for forward currency contracts, swaps and other over-the-counter traded derivatives. The other parties to derivatives transactions present the same types of credit risk as issuers of fixed-income securities. Derivatives also tend to involve greater liquidity risk and they may be difficult to value. A fund may be unable to terminate or sell its derivative positions. In fact, many over-the-counter derivatives will not have liquidity except through the counterparty to the instrument. Derivatives are generally subject to the risks applicable to the assets, rates, indices or other indicators underlying the derivative, including market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, management and valuation risk. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances or at reasonable prices. The value of a derivative may fluctuate more than, or otherwise not correlate well with, the underlying assets, rates, indices or other indicators to which it relates. A fund’s use of derivatives may also increase the amount of taxes payable by shareholders.
The U.S. government and foreign governments have adopted (and may adopt further) regulations governing derivatives markets, including mandatory clearing and on-facility execution of certain derivatives, margin and reporting requirements. The SEC has adopted Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which, once effective, will govern the use of derivative investments by registered investment companies. Among other things, Rule 18f-4 requires funds that invest in derivatives above a specified amount apply a value-at-risk based limit to their use of certain derivatives and to adopt and implement a derivatives risk management program. Funds that use derivative instruments in a limited amount will not be subject to the full requirements of Rule 18f-4. In connection with the adoption of Rule 18f-4, the funds will no longer be required to comply with the current asset segregation and coverage framework arising from prior SEC guidance. Compliance with Rule 18f-4 will not be required until August 2022, but the rule may impact a fund’s use of derivatives before that date. Rule 18f-4 could have an adverse impact on a fund’s performance and ability to implement its investment strategies as it has historically. The ultimate impact of Rule 18f-4 remains unclear. Additional regulation of derivatives may make derivatives more costly, limit their availability or utility, otherwise adversely affect their performance, or disrupt markets. For derivatives that are required to be cleared by a regulated clearinghouse, a fund may be exposed to risks arising from its relationship with a brokerage firm through which it would submit derivatives trades for clearing. A fund would also be exposed to counterparty risk with respect to the clearinghouse. In certain cases, a fund may incur costs and may be hindered or delayed in enforcing its rights against or closing out derivatives instruments with a counterparty, which may result in additional losses.
Derivatives may be used by a fund for a variety of purposes, including:
As a hedging technique in an attempt to manage risk in the fund's portfolio;
As a means of changing investment characteristics of the fund's portfolio;
As a means of attempting to enhance returns;
As a means of providing additional exposure to types of investments or market factors;
As a substitute for buying or selling securities; or
As a cash flow management technique.
Using derivatives, especially for non-hedging purposes, may involve greater risks to a fund than investing directly in securities, particularly as these instruments may be very complex and may not behave in the manner anticipated by the fund. Risks associated with the use of derivatives are magnified to the extent that a large portion of the fund’s assets are committed to derivatives in general or are invested in just one or a few types of derivatives. Use of derivatives or similar instruments may have different tax consequences for a fund than an investment in the underlying asset or indices, and those differences may affect the amount, timing and character of income distributed to shareholders.
Using derivatives for hedging purposes can reduce or eliminate losses, but doing so can also reduce or eliminate gains. In addition, there can be no assurance that a fund’s hedging transactions will be effective.
When a fund enters into derivative transactions, it may, under the current asset segregation and coverage regulatory framework, be required to segregate assets, or enter into offsetting positions, in accordance with applicable regulations. Such segregation will not limit the fund’s exposure to loss, however, and the fund will have investment risk with respect to both the derivative itself and the assets that have been segregated to cover the fund’s derivative exposure. If the segregated assets represent a large portion of the fund’s portfolio, this may impede portfolio management or the fund’s ability to meet redemption requests or other current obligations.
A fund could lose the entire amount of its investment in a derivative and, in some cases, could lose more than the principal amount invested.
Derivatives may include, but are not limited to, the following:
86

Options. An option is an agreement that, for a premium payment or fee, gives the option holder (the buyer) the right but not the obligation to buy (a “call option”) or sell (a “put option”) the underlying asset (or settle for cash an amount based on an underlying asset, rate or index) at a specified price (the exercise price) during a period of time or on a specified date. Investments in options are considered speculative. The fund may lose the premium paid for them if the price of the underlying security or other asset decreased or remained the same (in the case of a call option) or increased or remained the same (in the case of a put option). If a put or call option purchased by the fund were permitted to expire without being sold or exercised, its premium would represent a loss to the fund. Investments in foreign currency options may substantially change a fund's exposure to currency exchange rates and could result in losses to the fund if currencies do not perform as a sub-adviser expects. There is a risk that such transactions could reduce or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency moves in the direction opposite to the position taken. Options on foreign currencies are affected by all of those factors which influence foreign exchange rates and foreign investment generally. Unanticipated changes in currency prices may result in losses to a fund and poorer overall performance for the fund than if it had not entered into such contracts. Options on foreign currencies are traded primarily in the OTC market, but may also be traded on U.S. and foreign exchanges. Foreign currency options contracts may be used for hedging purposes or non-hedging purposes in pursuing a fund's investment objective, such as when a sub-adviser anticipates that particular non-U.S. currencies will appreciate or depreciate in value, even though securities denominated in those currencies are not then held in the fund's investment portfolio. Investing in foreign currencies for purposes of gaining from projected changes in exchange rates, as opposed to only hedging currency risks applicable to a fund's holdings, further increases the fund's exposure to foreign securities losses. There is no assurance that a sub-adviser’s use of currency derivatives will benefit a fund or that they will be, or can be, used at appropriate times.
Forwards and Futures Contracts. The use of futures contracts is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. A futures contract is a sales contract between a buyer (holding the “long” position) and a seller (holding the “short” position) for an asset with delivery deferred until a future date. The buyer agrees to pay a fixed price at the agreed future date and the seller agrees to deliver the asset. The seller hopes that the market price on the delivery date is less than the agreed upon price, while the buyer hopes for the contrary. The liquidity of the futures markets depends on participants entering into off-setting transactions rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity in the futures market could be reduced. In addition, futures exchanges often impose a maximum permissible price movement on each futures contract for each trading session. The fund may be disadvantaged if it is prohibited from executing a trade outside the daily permissible price movement. Moreover, to the extent the fund engages in futures contracts on foreign exchanges, such exchanges may not provide the same protection as US exchanges. The loss that may be incurred in entering into futures contracts may exceed the amount of the premium paid and may be potentially unlimited. Futures markets are highly volatile and the use of futures may increase the volatility of the fund's NAV. Additionally, as a result of the low collateral deposits normally involved in futures trading, a relatively small price movement in a futures contract may result in substantial losses to the fund. Investment in these instruments involve risks, including counterparty risk (i.e., the counterparty to the instrument will not perform or be able to perform in accordance with the terms of the instrument), hedging risk (i.e., a hedging strategy may not eliminate the risk that it is intended to offset, and may offset gains, which may lead to losses within the fund) and pricing risk (i.e., the instrument may be difficult to value).
Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts. In connection with its investments in foreign securities, a fund also may enter into contracts with banks, brokers or dealers to purchase or sell securities or foreign currencies at a future date. A foreign currency forward exchange contract is a negotiated agreement between the contracting parties to exchange a specified amount of currency at a specified future time at a specified rate. The rate can be higher or lower than the spot rate between the currencies that are the subject of the contract. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts may be used to protect against uncertainty in the level of future foreign currency exchange rates or to gain or modify exposure to a particular currency. In addition, a fund may use cross currency hedging or proxy hedging with respect to currencies in which the fund has or expects to have portfolio or currency exposure. Cross currency hedges involve the sale of one currency against the positive exposure to a different currency and may be used for hedging purposes or to establish an active exposure to the exchange rate between any two currencies. Investments in foreign currency forward exchange contracts may substantially change a fund's exposure to currency exchange rates and could result in losses to the fund if currencies do not perform as its sub-adviser expects. A sub-adviser’s success in these transactions will depend principally on its ability to predict accurately the future exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts may be used for non-hedging purposes in seeking to meet the applicable fund's investment objectives, such as when the sub-adviser anticipates that particular non-U.S. currencies will appreciate or depreciate in value, even though securities denominated in those currencies are not then held in the fund's investment portfolio. Investing in foreign currency forward exchange contracts for purposes of gaining from projected changes in exchange rates, as opposed to hedging currency risks applicable to a fund's holdings, further increases the fund's exposure to foreign securities losses. There is no assurance that a sub-adviser’s use of currency derivatives will benefit a fund or that they will be, or can be, used at appropriate times.
Swaps. Swap contracts, including credit default swaps, involve heightened risks and may result in losses to the fund. Swaps may in some cases be illiquid and difficult to value, and they increase credit risk since the fund has exposure to both the issuer of the
87

referenced obligation and the counterparty to the swap. If the fund buys a credit default swap, it will be subject to the risk that the credit default swap may expire worthless, as the credit default swap would only generate income in the event of a default on the underlying debt security or other specified event. As a buyer, the fund would also be subject to credit risk relating to the seller's payment of its obligations in the event of a default (or similar event). If the fund sells a credit default swap, it will be exposed to the credit risk of the issuer of the obligation to which the credit default swap relates. As a seller, the fund would also be subject to leverage risk, because it would be liable for the full notional amount of the swap in the event of default (or similar event). Swaps may be difficult to unwind or terminate. Credit default swaps may in some cases be illiquid, and they increase credit risk since the fund has exposure to the issuer of the referenced obligation and either their counterparty to the credit default swap or, if it is a cleared transaction, the brokerage firm through which the trade was cleared and the clearing organization that is the counterparty to that trade. Certain index-based credit default swaps are structured in tranches, whereby junior tranches assume greater default risk than senior tranches. The absence of a central exchange or market for swap transactions may lead, in some instances, to difficulties in trading and valuation, especially in the event of market disruptions. New regulations require many kinds of swaps to be executed through a centralized exchange or regulated facility and be cleared through a regulated clearinghouse. Although this clearing mechanism is generally expected to reduce counterparty credit risk, it may disrupt or limit the swap market and may not result in swaps being easier to trade or value. As swaps become more standardized, the fund may not be able to enter into swaps that meet its investment needs. The fund also may not be able to find a clearinghouse willing to accept the swaps for clearing. In a cleared swap, a central clearing organization will be the counterparty to the transaction. The fund will assume the risk that the clearinghouse may be unable to perform its obligations. The new regulations may make using swaps more costly, may limit their availability, or may otherwise adversely affect their value or performance.
Contracts for Difference. Contracts for differences (“CFDs”) are subject to liquidity risk because the liquidity of CFDs is based on the liquidity of the underlying instrument, and are subject to counterparty risk, i.e., the risk that the counterparty to the CFD transaction may be unable or unwilling to make payments or to otherwise honor its financial obligations under the terms of the contract. To the extent that there is an imperfect correlation between the return on the fund's obligation to its counterparty under the CFD and the return on related assets in its portfolio, the CFD transaction may increase the fund's financial risk. CFDs, like many other derivative instruments, involve the risk that, if the derivative security declines in value, additional margin would be required to maintain the margin level. The seller may require the fund to deposit additional sums to cover this, and this may be at short notice. If additional margin is not provided in time, the seller may liquidate the positions at a loss for which the fund is liable. CFDs are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any U.S. regulator, and are not subject to U.S. regulation.
Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt: An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts generally or on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in a fund being unable to buy or sell securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, a fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.
Emerging Markets: Investments in securities of issuers located or doing business in emerging markets bear heightened foreign investments risks and may experience rapid and extreme changes in value. Emerging markets are riskier than more developed markets because they tend to develop unevenly and may never fully develop. Emerging market countries typically have less developed and less stable economic and political systems and regulatory and accounting standards, potentially making it difficult to evaluate issuers. For example, the economies of such countries can be subject to rapid and unpredictable rates of inflation or deflation, and may be based on only a few industries. Such countries typically have fewer medical and economic resources than more developed countries, and thus they may be less able to control or mitigate the effects of a public health emergency or natural disaster. Certain emerging markets may also face other significant internal or external risks, including the risk of war or terrorism, and ethnic, religious or racial conflicts. Emerging market countries may have policies that restrict investment by foreigners or that prevent foreign investors from withdrawing their money at will, and such investors are more likely to experience nationalization, expropriation and confiscatory taxation. Such policies may change abruptly. Emerging market securities are often particularly sensitive to market movements because their market prices tend to reflect speculative expectations. Some emerging market countries are especially vulnerable to economic conditions in other countries. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and extreme price volatility, which could make security valuations more difficult. Less certainty with respect to security valuations may lead to additional challenges and risks in calculating a fund’s net asset value. A fund investing in emerging market countries may be required to establish special custody or other arrangements before investing, and the fund may experience problems or delays with the clearing and settling of trades that are not typically experienced in more developed markets. Investments in emerging markets countries may have restrictions that make it difficult or impossible for a fund to exercise rights, pursue legal remedies, and obtain judgments in foreign courts. Some securities issued by emerging market governments or their subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities may not be backed by the full faith and credit of such governments. Even where a security is backed by the full faith and credit of a government, it may be difficult for a fund to pursue its rights against the government. An investment in emerging market securities should be considered speculative. Investments in emerging markets countries may be subject to political, economic, legal, market and currency risks. The risks may include less
88

protection of property rights and uncertain political and economic policies, greater vulnerability to market manipulation, the imposition of capital controls and/or foreign investment limitations by a country, nationalization of businesses and the imposition of sanctions by other countries, such as the United States.
Equity Securities: Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer, and generally have greater risk of loss than debt securities. Equity securities include, among others, common and preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants or rights. Stock markets are volatile. Equity securities may have greater price volatility than other asset classes, such as fixed-income securities, and fluctuate in price based on real or perceived changes in a company’s financial condition, factors affecting a particular industry or industries, and overall market, economic and political conditions. Because a company’s equity securities rank junior in priority to the interests of bond holders and other creditors, a company’s equity securities will usually react more strongly than its bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by a fund fall, the value of your investment in the fund will decline. If a fund holds equity securities in a company that becomes insolvent, the fund’s interests in the company will rank junior in priority to the interests of debtholders and general creditors of the company, and the fund may lose its entire investment in the company. These risks are generally magnified for investments in equity securities of distressed companies. A fund may lose its entire investment in the equity securities of an issuer.
Expenses: Your actual costs of investing in a fund may be higher than the expenses shown in this prospectus for a variety of reasons. For example, expense ratios may be higher than those shown if overall net assets decrease, or if a fee limitation is changed or terminated, or with respect to a newly offered fund or class, if average net assets are lower than estimated. Net assets are more likely to decrease and fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile.
Extension: When interest rates rise, repayments of fixed-income securities, including asset- and mortgage-backed securities, may occur more slowly than anticipated, extending the effective duration of these fixed-income securities at below market interest rates and causing their market prices to decline more than they would have declined due to the rise in interest rates alone. This may cause a fund’s share price to be more volatile or go down.
Fixed-Income Securities: Fixed-income securities are subject to risks including credit risk, interest rate risk, counterparty risk, prepayment risk, extension risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk. The value of fixed-income securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, tariffs and trade disruptions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In addition, the value of a fixed-income security may decline if the issuer or other obligor of the security fails to pay principal and/or interest, otherwise defaults or has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines. If the value of fixed-income securities owned by a fund falls, the value of your investment will go down. The prices of fixed-income securities will generally go down when interest rates rise. Interest rates in the U.S. and certain foreign markets have been low relative to historic levels. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to move out of fixed-income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities and could also result in increased redemptions from the fund. A rise in rates also tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. A fund may lose its entire investment in the fixed-income securities of an issuer.
If interest rates rise, repayments of fixed-income securities may occur more slowly than anticipated by the market. This may drive the prices of these securities down because their interest rates are lower than the current interest rate and they remain outstanding longer. This is sometimes referred to as extension risk.
Many issuers have a right to prepay their securities. If interest rates fall, an issuer may exercise this right. If this happens, a fund will be forced to reinvest prepayment proceeds at a time when yields on securities available in the market are lower than the yield on the prepaid security. This is sometimes referred to as prepayment or call risk.
Focused Investing: To the extent a fund invests in a limited number of countries, regions, sectors, industries or market segments, in a limited number of issuers, or in issuers in related businesses or that are subject to related operating risks, the fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those countries, regions, sectors, industries, segments or issuers, and the value of its shares may be more volatile than if it invested more widely. Certain issuers, industries and regions may be adversely affected by the impacts of climate change, including through weather events and through regulation or business trends driven by climate change. Local events, such as political upheaval, social unrest, wars and terror attacks, financial troubles, pandemics, epidemics and natural disasters may disrupt a country’s or region’s securities markets. Geographic risk is especially high in emerging and frontier markets.
Foreign Investments: Investments in securities of foreign issuers (including those denominated in U.S. dollars) or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets are subject to additional risks. Foreign markets can be less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of a fund's foreign investments may decline, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, because of factors affecting the particular issuers as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable or unsuccessful
89

government actions, reduction of government or central bank support, tariffs and trade disruptions, political or financial instability, social unrest or other adverse economic or political developments. Values may also be affected by restrictions on receiving the investment proceeds from a foreign country.
Less information may be publicly available about foreign companies than about U.S. companies. Foreign companies are generally not subject to the same accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards as U.S. companies are. Some securities issued by non-U.S. governments or their subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities may not be backed by the full faith and credit of such governments. Even where a security is backed by the full faith and credit of a government, it may be difficult or impossible for the fund to pursue its rights against the government. Some non-U.S. governments have defaulted on principal and interest payments. In certain foreign markets, settlement and clearance procedures may result in delays in payment for or delivery of securities not typically associated with settlement and clearance of U.S. investments. Such settlement issues could affect a fund’s performance and the liquidity of its portfolio. Dividends or interest on, or proceeds from the sale or disposition of, foreign securities may be subject to non-U.S. withholding or other taxes, and special U.S. tax considerations may apply.
Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments, the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, entities and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers, and other protectionist or retaliatory measures. Economic sanctions could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate a fund's ability to purchase or sell securities or groups of securities for a substantial period of time, and may make the fund's investments in such securities harder to value. International trade barriers or economic sanctions against foreign countries, organizations, entities and/or individuals, may adversely affect a fund's foreign holdings or exposures. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by unfavorable governmental actions such as the imposition of capital and price controls; nationalization of companies or industries; currency exchange controls, currency blockage, or restrictions on the expatriation of foreign currency; expropriation of assets; confiscatory taxation; or the imposition of punitive taxes. In the event of nationalization, expropriation or other confiscation, a fund could lose its entire investment in foreign securities. Governmental actions can have a significant effect on the economic conditions in foreign countries, which also may adversely affect the value and liquidity of a fund's investments. For example, the governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity of investments denominated in that currency. Any of these actions could severely affect security prices, impair the fund's ability to purchase or sell foreign securities or transfer a fund's assets back into the United States, or otherwise adversely affect the fund's operations. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by a fund, particularly during periods of market turmoil. When a fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio may be harder to value.
Investment in securities of foreign issuers may also be subject to foreign custody risk which refers to the risks inherent in the process of clearing and settling trades and to the holding of securities, cash and other assets by banks, agents and depositories in securities markets outside the United States. In addition, it is often more expensive for a fund to buy, hold, and sell securities in certain foreign markets than in the United States. Low trading volumes and volatile prices in less developed markets make trades harder to complete and settle, and governments or trade groups may compel non-U.S. agents to hold securities in designated depositories that may not be subject to independent evaluation. The laws of certain countries may place limitations on the ability to recover assets if a non-U.S. bank, agent or depository becomes insolvent or enters bankruptcy. Non-U.S. agents are held only to the standards of care of their local markets, and thus may be subject to limited or no government oversight. In general, the less developed a country’s securities markets are, or the more difficult communication is with that location, the greater the likelihood of custody issues arising.
American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”), and European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”) are generally subject to all of the risks that direct investments in foreign securities are.
In addition, U.S. investors are restricted from investing in certain Chinese companies, and the companies subject to these restrictions may change from time to time. For example, in November 2020, the President of the United States signed an executive order prohibiting U.S. persons, including a fund, from investing in publicly-traded securities of certain companies determined by the U.S. government to be affiliated with China’s military. The scope and implementation of the sanctions may change as additional guidance is issued. These or other restrictions may adversely affect the value of Chinese companies, result in forced selling of securities of Chinese companies, and cause a fund to incur losses.
Growth Stocks: Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with returns on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks typically are particularly sensitive to market movements and may involve larger price swings because their market prices tend to reflect future expectations. When it appears those expectations may not be met, the prices of growth securities typically fall. Growth stocks can be volatile for several reasons. Since growth companies usually reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their own businesses, they may lack the dividends often associated with value stocks that could cushion their decline in a falling market. Also, since investors buy growth stocks because of their expected superior earnings growth, earnings disappointments
90

often result in sharp price declines. Certain types of growth stocks, particularly technology stocks, can be extremely volatile and subject to greater price swings than the broader market. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.
High-Yield Debt Securities: High-yield debt securities, commonly referred to as “junk” bonds, are securities that are rated below “investment grade” (that is, securities rated below Baa/BBB) or are unrated securities of comparable quality. A fund that invests in high-yield debt securities may be subject to greater levels of credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk than funds that do not invest in such securities. High-yield debt securities typically have a higher risk of issuer default because, among other reasons, issuers of junk bonds often have more debt in relation to total capitalization than issuers of investment grade securities. These securities are considered speculative, tend to be volatile and less liquid, and are more difficult to value than higher rated securities and may involve major risk of exposure to adverse conditions and negative sentiments, which may result in losses for the fund. These securities may be in default or in danger of default as to principal and interest. High-yield debt securities range from those for which the prospect for repayment of principal and interest is predominantly speculative to those which are currently in default on principal or interest payments or in bankruptcy. In the event of an issuer’s bankruptcy, claims of other creditors may have priority over the claims of high-yield debt holders, leaving few or no assets available to repay high-yield debt holders. This could result in the fund losing its entire investment. High-yield securities are not generally meant for short-term investing. Unrated securities of comparable quality share these risks.
Inflation: The value of assets or income from investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of a fund’s assets can decline as can the value of the fund’s distributions.
Inflation-Protected Securities: Inflation-protected debt securities may react differently from other types of debt securities and tend to react to changes in “real” interest rates. Real interest rates represent nominal (stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In general, the price of an inflation-protected debt security can fall when real interest rates rise, and can rise when real interest rates fall. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable and will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation. The market for U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities (“TIPS”) and corporate inflation-protected securities (“CIPS”) may be less developed or liquid, and more volatile, than certain other securities markets. Also, the inflation index utilized by a particular inflation-protected security may not accurately reflect the true rate of inflation, in which case the market value of the security could be adversely affected.
Interest Rate: Interest rates in the U.S. and certain foreign markets have been low relative to historic levels. A fund faces a risk that interest rates may rise. When interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income securities will generally fall. A change in interest rates will not have the same impact on all fixed-income securities. Generally, the longer the maturity or duration of a fixed-income security, the greater the impact of a rise in interest rates on the security’s value. In addition, different interest rate measures (such as short- and long-term interest rates and U.S. and foreign interest rates), or interest rates on different types of securities or securities of different issuers, may not necessarily change in the same amount or in the same direction. A fund may not be able to hedge against changes in interest rates, may choose not to do so for cost or other reasons, and even if the fund does, the hedge may not work as intended. A significant or rapid rise in rates may result in losses. Changes in interest rates also may affect the liquidity of a fund’s investments. When interest rates go down, the income received by a fund, and the fund’s yield, may decline. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to sell fixed-income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities generally and could also result in increased redemptions from the fund. Increased redemptions could cause the fund to sell securities at inopportune times or depressed prices and result in further losses. The maturity of a security may be significantly longer than its duration. A security’s maturity and other features may be more relevant than its duration in determining the security’s sensitivity to other factors affecting the issuer or markets generally such as changes in credit quality or in the yield premium that the market may establish for certain types of securities.
Duration is a measure of the expected life of a fixed-income security that is used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates. Fixed-income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Similarly, a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will generally be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration. By way of example, the price of a bond fund with an average duration of five years would be expected to fall approximately 5% if interest rates rose by one percentage point.
Certain fixed-income securities pay interest at variable or floating rates. Variable rate securities tend to reset at specified intervals, while floating rate securities may reset whenever there is a change in a specified index rate. In most cases, these reset provisions reduce the impact of changes in market interest rates on the value of the security. However, some securities do not track the underlying index directly, but reset based on formulas that may produce a leveraging effect; others may also provide for interest payments that vary inversely with market rates. The market prices of these securities may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. If the fund holds variable or floating rate securities, a decrease in market interest rates will adversely affect the income received from such securities and the net asset value of the fund’s shares. Some variable and floating rate securities are tied to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), and thus they also subject the fund to “LIBOR” risk.
91

Large Capitalization Companies: A fund’s investments in larger, more established companies may underperform other segments of the market because they may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion. As a result, a fund’s value may not rise as much as, or may fall more than, the value of funds that focus on companies with smaller market capitalizations.
Legal and Regulatory: Legal and regulatory changes could occur that may adversely affect a fund, its investments, and its ability to pursue its investment strategies and/or increase the costs of implementing such strategies. New or revised laws or regulations may be imposed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Federal Reserve or other governmental regulatory authorities or self-regulatory organizations that could adversely affect a fund. A fund also may be adversely affected by changes in the enforcement or interpretation of existing statutes and rules by governmental regulatory authorities or self-regulatory organizations.
Leveraging: To the extent a fund borrows or uses derivatives or other investments, such as ETFs, that have embedded leverage, your investment may be subject to heightened volatility, risk of loss and costs. Other risks also will be compounded because leverage generally magnifies the effect of a change in the value of an asset and creates a risk of loss of value on a larger pool of assets than a fund would otherwise have, potentially resulting in the loss of all assets. A fund also may have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations created by the use of leverage or derivatives, or to meet segregation or coverage requirements. The use of leverage is considered to be a speculative investment practice that may result in the loss of a substantial amount, and possibly all, of a fund’s assets.
LIBOR: Many financial instruments, financings or other transactions to which a fund may be a party use or may use a floating rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). LIBOR is widely used in financial markets. In 2017, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority announced that it will no longer encourage nor require banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The UK Financial Conduct Authority and LIBOR’s administrator announced that the use of LIBOR will be phased out; most LIBOR rates are no longer published as of the end of 2021 and a majority of U.S. dollar LIBOR rates will no longer be published after June 30, 2023. It is possible that a subset of LIBOR rates may be published after these dates on a “synthetic” basis, but any such publications would be considered non‑representative of the underlying market. Actions by regulators have resulted in the establishment of alternative reference rates to LIBOR in most major currencies. Based on the recommendations of the New York Federal Reserve's Alternative Reference Rate Committee (comprised of major derivative market participants and their regulators), the U.S. Federal Reserve began publishing a Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) that is intended to replace U.S. Dollar LIBOR. Proposals for alternative reference rates for other currencies have also been announced or have already begun publication, such as Sterling Overnight Indexed Average (“SONIA”) in the United Kingdom. Markets are slowly developing in response to these new rates, and transition planning is at a relatively early stage. Neither the effect of the transition process nor its ultimate success is known. The transition process may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets for instruments the terms of which are based on LIBOR. It could also lead to a reduction in the value of some LIBOR-based investments and reduce the effectiveness of new hedges placed against existing LIBOR-based investments. The effect of any changes to, or discontinuation of, LIBOR on a fund will vary depending on, among other things, provisions in individual contracts and whether, how, and when industry participants develop and adopt new reference rates and alternative reference rates for both legacy and new products and instruments. Any of these factors may adversely affect a fund’s performance or NAV.
Liquidity: A fund may make investments that are illiquid or that become illiquid after purchase. Investments may become illiquid due to the lack of an active market, a reduced number of traditional market participants, legal or contractual restrictions on resale, or reduced capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in securities. Regulations such as the Volcker Rule or future regulations may further constrain the ability of market participants to create liquidity, particularly in times of increased volatility. As a general matter, a reduction in the willingness or ability of dealers and other institutional investors to make markets in fixed-income securities may result in even less liquidity in certain markets. Illiquid investments can be difficult to value. If a fund is forced to sell less liquid or illiquid investments to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the fund may be forced to sell at a substantial loss (or may not be able to sell at all), and such sale may involve additional costs. In addition, securities, once sold by a fund, may not settle for an extended period (for example, several weeks or even longer). The fund will not receive its sales proceeds until that time, which may constrain the fund’s ability to meet its obligations (including obligations to redeeming shareholders). Liquidity of particular investments, or even entire asset classes, including U.S. Treasury securities, can deteriorate rapidly, particularly during times of market turmoil, and those investments may be difficult or impossible for a fund to sell. This may prevent a fund from limiting losses. Further, when there is illiquidity in the market for certain investments, a fund, due to limitations on illiquid investments, may be unable to achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector or asset class. A fund is required by law to maintain a liquidity risk management program to assess and manage the fund’s liquidity risk. This program is intended to reduce liquidity risk, but may not achieve the desired results. Analyses and judgments made under the program may be incorrect, and changes in market conditions, which may be rapid and unexpected, may adversely affect the program.
Management: The value of your investment in a fund may go down if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser's judgments and decisions are incorrect or otherwise do not produce the desired results. For example, the value of your investment in a fund may go down if its investment manager’s or sub-adviser's judgment about the quality, relative yield or value of, or market trends affecting, a
92

particular security or issuer, industry, sector, region or market segment, or about the economy or interest rates, is incorrect. A fund may also suffer losses if there are imperfections, errors or limitations in the quantitative, analytic or other tools, resources, information and data used, or the analyses employed or relied on, by its investment manager or sub-adviser, if such tools, resources, information or data are used incorrectly, fail to produce the desired results or otherwise do not work as intended, or if the investment manager’s or sub-adviser’s investment style is out of favor or otherwise fails to produce the desired results. A fund’s investment strategies may not work as intended or may otherwise fail to produce the desired results. In addition, a fund’s investment strategies or policies may change from time to time. Legislative, regulatory or tax developments may also affect the investment techniques available to an investment manager or sub-adviser in connection with managing a fund. Those changes and developments may not lead to the results intended by the investment manager or sub-adviser and could have an adverse effect on the value or performance of the fund. Any of these things could cause a fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.
Market: The market prices of a fund’s securities or other assets may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, inflation, changes in interest rates, government actions or interventions, actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve or foreign central banks, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes or other factors, political developments, investor sentiment, the global and domestic effects of a pandemic, and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. The market prices of securities and other assets also may go down due to events or conditions that affect particular sectors, industries, issuers, or geographies. Adverse market conditions may be prolonged and may not have the same impact on all types of securities or other assets. If the value of the fund’s securities and assets fall, the value of your investment will go down. A fund may experience a substantial or complete loss on any individual security or asset.
In the past decade, financial markets throughout the world have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. Governmental and non-governmental issuers defaulted on, or were forced to restructure, their debts. These market conditions may continue, worsen or spread.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, public health events (such as the spread of infectious disease), wars, terrorism, cybersecurity events, technology and data interruptions, natural disasters, and other circumstances in one or more countries or regions could be highly disruptive to, and have profound impacts on, global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not a fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of a fund’s investments may go down. Securities markets may also be susceptible to market manipulation or other fraudulent trade practices, which could disrupt the orderly functioning of these markets or adversely affect the value of securities traded in these markets, including a fund’s securities.
The pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in extreme volatility in the financial markets, a domestic and global economic downturn, severe losses, particularly to some sectors of the economy and individual issuers, and reduced liquidity of many instruments. There also have been significant disruptions to business operations, including business closures; strained healthcare systems; disruptions to supply chains and employee availability; large fluctuations in consumer demand; and widespread uncertainty regarding the duration and long-term effects of the pandemic. The domestic and global economic downturn may be prolonged. The pandemic may result in domestic and foreign political and social instability, damage to diplomatic and international trade relations, and continued volatility and/or decreased liquidity in the securities markets. Developing or emerging market countries may be more impacted by the pandemic.
The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve, as well as certain foreign governments and central banks, are taking extraordinary actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including by pushing interest rates to very low levels. This and other government intervention into the economy and financial markets to address the pandemic may not work as intended, particularly if the efforts are perceived by investors as being unlikely to achieve the desired results. Government actions to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic have resulted in large expansion of government deficits and debt, the long-term consequences of which are not known. Rates of inflation have recently risen, which could adversely affect economies and markets. The pandemic could continue to adversely affect the value and liquidity of a fund’s investments, impair a fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact a fund’s performance.
Europe. A number of countries in Europe have experienced severe economic and financial difficulties. Many non-governmental issuers, and even certain governments, have defaulted on, or been forced to restructure, their debts; many other issuers have faced difficulties obtaining credit or refinancing existing obligations; financial institutions have in many cases required government or central bank support, have needed to raise capital, and/or have been impaired in their ability to extend credit; and financial markets in Europe and elsewhere have experienced extreme volatility and declines in asset values and liquidity. These difficulties may continue, worsen or spread within or outside Europe. Responses to the financial problems by European governments, central banks and others, including austerity measures and reforms, may not work, may result in conflicts and social unrest and may limit future growth and economic recovery or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and others of their debt could have additional adverse effects on economies, financial markets and asset valuations around the world. On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom withdrew from the European Union, commonly referred to as “Brexit.” Following a transition period, the United Kingdom’s post-Brexit trade agreement with the European Union passed into law in December 2020 and went into effect on
93

January 1, 2021. There is significant market uncertainty regarding Brexit’s ramifications. The range and potential implications of possible political, regulatory, economic, and market outcomes cannot be fully known but could be significant, potentially resulting in increased volatility and illiquidity and lower economic growth for companies that rely significantly on Europe for their business activities and revenues. The United Kingdom has one of the largest economies in Europe and is a major trading partner with the other European Union countries and the United States. Brexit may create additional and substantial economic stresses for the United Kingdom, including a contraction of the United Kingdom’s economy, decreased trade, capital outflows, devaluation of the British pound, as well as a decrease in business and consumer spending and investment. The negative impact on not only the United Kingdom and European economies but also the broader global economy could be significant. Moreover, other countries may seek to withdraw from the European Union and/or abandon the euro, the common currency of the European Union. A number of countries in Europe have suffered terror attacks, and additional attacks may occur in the future. The Ukraine has experienced ongoing military conflict; this conflict may expand and military conflicts could potentially occur elsewhere in Europe. Europe has also been struggling with mass migration from the Middle East and Africa. The ultimate effects of these events and other socio-political or geopolitical issues are not known but could profoundly affect global economies and markets. Whether or not a fund invests in securities of issuers located in Europe or with significant exposure to European issuers or countries, these events could negatively affect the value and liquidity of a fund's investments due to the interconnected nature of the global economy and capital markets.
Mortgage-Related and Asset-Backed Securities: The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid, which could negatively impact the fund’s net asset value. Mortgage-backed securities may be issued by private issuers, by government-sponsored entities such as Fannie Mae (formally known as Federal National Mortgage Association) or Freddie Mac (formally known as Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation) or by agencies of the U.S. government, such as the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”). Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property. Unlike mortgage-related securities issued or guaranteed by agencies of the U.S. government or government-sponsored entities, mortgage-related securities issued by private issuers do not have a government or government-sponsored entity guarantee (but may have other credit enhancement), and may, and frequently do, have less favorable collateral, credit risk or other underwriting characteristics. Asset-backed securities represent participations in, or are secured by and payable from, assets such as installment sales or loan contracts, leases, credit card receivables and other categories of receivables. Certain asset-backed securities present a heightened level of risk because, in the event of default, the liquidation value of the underlying assets may be inadequate to pay any unpaid principal or interest.
The value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be affected by changes in credit quality or value of the mortgage loans or other assets that support the securities. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets. The risk of default is generally higher in the case of mortgage-backed investments that include so-called “sub-prime” mortgages. For mortgage-backed securities, when market conditions result in an increase in the default rates on the underlying mortgages and the foreclosure values of the underlying real estate are below the outstanding amount of the underlying mortgages, collection of the full amount of accrued interest and principal on these investments may be doubtful.
Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment or call and extension risks. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than for other types of debt securities. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events or defaults, a fund may become the holder of underlying assets at a time when those assets may be difficult to sell or may be sold only at a loss.
Prepayment or Call: Many fixed-income securities give the issuer the option to repay or call the security prior to its maturity date. Issuers often exercise this right when interest rates fall. Accordingly, if a fund holds a fixed-income security subject to prepayment or call risk, it will not benefit fully from the increase in value that other fixed-income securities generally experience when interest rates fall. Upon prepayment of the security, a fund would also be forced to reinvest the proceeds at then current yields, which would be lower than the yield of the security that was paid off. This may adversely affect a fund’s net asset value. In addition, if a fund purchases a fixed-income security at a premium (at a price that exceeds its stated par or principal value), the fund may lose the amount of the premium paid in the event of prepayment.
Real Estate Securities: Investments in the real estate industry are subject to risks associated with direct investment in real estate. These risks may include, without limitation:
declining real estate value
risks relating to general and local economic conditions
over-building
increased competition for assets in local and regional markets
increases in property taxes
increases in operating expenses or interest rates
change in neighborhood value or the appeal of properties to tenants
94

insufficient levels of occupancy
inadequate rents to cover operating expenses
The performance of securities issued by companies in the real estate industry also may be affected by prudent management of insurance risks, adequacy of financing available in capital markets, competent management, changes in applicable laws and government regulations (including zoning, environmental, and tax laws) and social and economic trends.
If the fund’s real estate-related investments are concentrated in one geographic area or one property type, the fund will also be subject to the risks associated with that one area or property type. The value of the fund’s real estate-related securities will not necessarily track the value of the underlying investments of the issuers of such securities.
Redemption: A fund may experience periods of heavy redemptions that could cause the fund to liquidate its assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value, particularly during periods of declining or illiquid markets. In that event, the value of your investment in the fund would go down. If a fund is required to liquidate assets to accommodate redemptions, the liquidation could accelerate the recognition of capital gains by the fund, and any capital gains recognized by the fund generally need to be distributed to shareholders in order to avoid fund-level taxation. The non-redeeming shareholders could receive a disproportionate amount of those taxable distributions, even though the capital gains were recognized as a result of the redeeming shareholders. Redemption risk is greater to the extent that a fund has investors with large shareholdings, short investment horizons, or unpredictable cash flow needs. In addition, redemption risk is heightened during periods of overall market turmoil. The redemption by one or more large shareholders of their holdings in a fund could hurt performance and/or cause the remaining shareholders in the fund to lose money. Further, a fund’s redemption risk is increased if one decision maker has control of fund shares owned by separate fund shareholders, including clients or affiliates of the investment manager and/or sub-adviser.
Regulatory: In recent years, the U.S. government adopted and implemented regulations governing derivatives markets, including mandatory clearing of certain derivatives as well as margin, reporting and registration requirements. Additional U.S. or other regulations may make derivatives more costly, may limit the availability of derivatives, or may otherwise adversely affect the value or performance of derivatives. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act (the “Reform Act”) substantially increased regulation of the over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives market and participants in that market, including imposing clearing and reporting requirements on transactions involving instruments that fall within the Reform Act’s definition of “swap” and “security-based swap,” which terms generally include OTC derivatives, and imposing registration and potential substantive requirements on certain swap and security-based swap market participants. In addition, under the Reform Act, a fund may be subject to additional recordkeeping and reporting requirements. In 2020, the SEC adopted new Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for the use of derivatives by registered investment companies, such as a fund, and set limits on a fund’s investments in derivatives. Compliance with the rule is not required until Summer 2022, but the rule may impact a fund’s use of derivatives before that date. The SEC has also adopted new Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act, which provides an enhanced regulatory framework applicable to fund of fund arrangements. The ultimate impact of the new rules remains unclear. Legislation or regulation may also change the way in which a fund itself is regulated. The impact of any new governmental regulation that may be implemented on the ability of a fund to use swaps or any other financial derivative product is not known at this time, and there can be no assurance that any new governmental regulation will not adversely affect the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.
REITs: Investing in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) involves unique risks. When a fund invests in REITs, it is subject to risks generally associated with investing in real estate. A REIT’s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns, how well it manages those properties and cash flow. A decline in rental income could occur because of extended vacancies, increased competition from other properties, tenants’ failure to pay rent or poor management. A REIT’s performance also depends on the company’s ability to finance property purchases and renovations and manage its cash flows. Because REITs are typically invested in a limited number of projects or in a particular market segment, they are more susceptible to adverse developments affecting a single project or market segment than more broadly diversified investments. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, may engage in dilutive offerings, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. In addition to its own expenses, a fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management and other expenses paid by REITs in which it invests. U.S. REITs are subject to a number of highly technical tax-related rules and requirements. A failure to qualify for the favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment generally available to U.S. REITs, or changes in the treatment of U.S. REITs under U.S. federal tax law, could adversely affect the value of a particular U.S. REIT or the market for U.S. REITs as a whole.
Repurchase Agreements: In a repurchase agreement, a fund purchases securities from a broker-dealer or a bank, called the counterparty, upon the agreement of the counterparty to repurchase the securities from the fund at a later date, and at a specified price, which is typically higher than the purchase price paid by the fund. The securities purchased serve as the fund's collateral for the obligation of the counterparty to repurchase the securities. If the counterparty does not repurchase the securities, the fund is entitled to sell the securities, but the fund may not be able to sell them for the price at which they were purchased, thus causing a loss. If the counterparty becomes insolvent, there is some risk that the fund will not have a right to the securities, or the immediate right to sell the securities.
95

Securities Lending: Each fund may lend securities to other financial institutions that provide cash or U.S. government or agency securities as collateral. When a fund lends portfolio securities, its investment performance will continue to reflect changes in the value of the securities loaned, and the fund will also receive a fee or interest on the collateral. Securities lending involves the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. As a result, a fund may lose money and there may be a delay in recovering the loaned securities. A fund could also lose money if it does not recover the securities and/or the value of the cash or non-cash collateral falls, including the value of investments made with cash collateral. These events could trigger adverse tax consequences for a fund.
Small and Medium Capitalization Companies: Investing in small- and medium-sized companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with more established companies. The prices of securities of small and medium capitalization companies generally are more volatile than those of large capitalization companies and are more likely to be adversely affected than large capitalization companies by changes in earnings results and investor expectations or poor economic or market conditions. Securities of small and medium capitalization companies may underperform large capitalization companies, may be harder to sell at times and at prices the portfolio managers believe appropriate and may offer greater potential for losses. Smaller capitalization companies often have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources and their management may lack depth and experience. Such companies usually do not pay significant dividends that could cushion returns in a falling market.
Underlying Exchange-Traded Funds: To the extent a fund invests its assets in underlying ETFs, its ability to achieve its investment objective will depend in part on the performance of the underlying ETFs in which it invests. Investing in underlying ETFs subjects a fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those ETFs. Each of the underlying ETFs in which a fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying ETFs’ shares and therefore the value of a fund’s investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying ETF will be achieved. To the extent that a fund invests more of its assets in one underlying ETF than in another, the fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that underlying ETF. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying ETFs in which it invests.
An investment in an ETF generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a conventional fund (i.e., one that is not exchange-traded) that has the same investment objectives, strategies and policies. The price of an ETF can fluctuate up and down, and a fund could lose money investing in an ETF if the prices of the securities owned by the ETF go down. In addition, ETFs are subject to certain risks that do not apply to conventional funds, including: (i) the market price of an ETF’s shares may be above or below the shares’ net asset value; (ii) during periods of market volatility, the share prices of ETFs may deviate significantly from their NAVs; (iii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained; (iv) trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the exchange, the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally, or trading in one or more of the ETF’s underlying securities is halted, which could result in the ETF being more volatile; or (v) a limited number of institutions may act as authorized participants to create or redeem block-sized units of ETF shares. In the event substantial market or other disruptions affecting ETFs should occur in the future, the liquidity and value of a fund's shares could also be substantially and adversely affected.
Underlying Funds: When a fund invests its assets in various underlying funds, its ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely on the performance of the underlying funds in which it invests. Investing in underlying funds subjects a fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those underlying funds. Each of the underlying funds in which a fund may invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the underlying funds' shares and therefore the value of the fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying fund will be achieved. To the extent that a fund invests more of its assets in one underlying fund than in another, the fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that underlying fund. In addition, the fund will bear a pro rata portion of the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests.
Valuation: Many factors may influence the price at which a fund could sell any particular portfolio investment. The sales price may well differ — higher or lower — from a fund's last valuation, and such differences could be significant, particularly for illiquid securities, securities priced based upon valuations provided by third party pricing services that use matrix or evaluated pricing systems, securities that trade in relatively thin or volatile markets, or securities that are valued using a fair value methodology. These differences may increase significantly and affect fund investments more broadly during periods of market volatility. If market conditions make it difficult to value some investments, a fund may value these investments using more subjective methods, such as fair value methodologies. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when a fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive a greater or lesser number of shares, or greater or lower redemption proceeds, than they would have received if the fund had not fair-valued the securities or had used a different valuation methodology. The value of foreign securities, certain fixed-income securities and currencies, as applicable, may be materially affected by events after the close of the markets on which they are traded, but before a fund determines its net asset value. A fund’s ability to value its investments may be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third party service providers.
96

Value Investing: The value approach carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security’s intrinsic value for a long time, undervaluation may become more severe, or that a stock considered to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced. A fund may underperform other equity funds that use different investing styles. A fund may also underperform other equity funds using the value style. Value stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “growth” stocks.
Please note that there are other factors that could adversely affect your investment in a fund and that could prevent the fund from achieving its investment objective. More information about risks appears in the SAI. Before investing, you should carefully consider the risks that you will assume.

Trustees’ Approval of Sub-Advisory Agreements
A discussion regarding the Board of Trustees’ approval of each fund’s investment sub-advisory agreement is available in each fund’s annual report for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.
Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings
A detailed description of each fund’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of its portfolio holdings is available in the SAI.
Fund Expenses
During times of market volatility or decline, assets of your fund may decline significantly, causing total annual fund operating expenses (as a percentage of the value of your investment) to become higher than the numbers shown in your fund’s Annual Fund Operating Expenses table under “Fees and Expenses” in this prospectus. In addition, the total annual fund operating expenses shown in your fund’s Annual Fund Operating Expenses table may not correlate to the ratios of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights section of the prospectus, which reflect the operating expenses of your fund and do not include certain expenses such as acquired (i.e., underlying) funds’ fees and expenses.
The “Other expenses” items in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table for your fund include fees for custodial, legal, transfer agency, and, as applicable, sub-transfer agency services. “Other expenses” also include various other expenses applicable to each share class of your fund.
Sub-Transfer Agency Fees
In addition to transfer agency fees, Class R1 andClass R3 shares pay sub-transfer agency fees of 0.15% to financial intermediaries (including affiliates of TAM) that provide sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and/or shareholder services with respect to certain shareholder accounts in lieu of the transfer agent providing such services. Class R6 shares do not pay sub-transfer agency fees directly, but the transfer agent may use its available resources to pay for sub-transfer agency services for any share class, including those that pay sub-transfer agency fees directly.

Class R1, R3 and R6 shares are offered in this prospectus. Other Transamerica Funds offer additional or different share classes.
Availability of Shares 
Class R1 and R6 shares of the funds are intended for purchase by participants in certain eligible accounts described below and under the following conditions:
401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase plans, defined-benefit plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans, IRAs, and with regard to Class R6 shares only, certain Transamerica-sponsored asset allocation funds, as well as participants in certain health savings plans and health savings accounts under Section 223 of the Internal Revenue Code (eligible plans).
For applicable plans, Class R1 and R6 shares are available only to eligible plans where Class R1 and R6 shares are held on the books of the funds through omnibus or Network Level 3 accounts (either at the plan level or at the level of the financial service firm serving as an intermediary).
The plan’s record-keeper or financial service firm serving as an intermediary must have an agreement with Transamerica Funds or its agents to utilize Class R1 and R6 shares in certain investment products or programs.
Class R3 shares of the funds are intended for purchase into IRA rollover accounts by participants in certain retirement plans described below and under the following conditions:
401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase plans, defined-benefit plans, non-qualified deferred compensation plans (eligible retirement plans) and individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”).
The plan’s record-keeper or financial service firm serving as an intermediary must have an agreement with Transamerica Funds or its agents to utilize Class R3 shares in certain investment products or programs.
The financial service firm serving as an intermediary can provide participants with detailed information on how to participate in the plan, elect a fund as an investment option, elect different investment options, alter the amounts contributed to the plan or change allocations among investment options. For questions about participant accounts or to obtain an application to participate in a plan, participants should contact their financial service firm serving as an intermediary, employee benefits office, the plan administrator, or the organization that provides recordkeeping services for the plan.
Financial service firms may provide some of the shareholder servicing and account maintenance services required by retirement plan accounts and their plan participants, including transfers of registration, dividend payee charges and generation of confirmation statements, and may arrange for plan administrators to provide other investment or administrative services. Financial service firms may charge retirement plans and plan participants transaction fees and/or other additional amounts for such services. Similarly, retirement plans may charge plan participants for certain expenses. These fees and additional amounts could reduce the return of investments in Class R1, R3 and R6 shares of the funds.
Opening an Account and Purchasing Shares 
Federal regulations may require a fund to obtain, verify and record certain information from you and persons authorized to act on your behalf in order to establish an account. Required information includes name, date of birth (for an individual), permanent residential address or principal place of business and Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number. The fund may also ask to see
100

other identifying documents. If you do not provide the information, the fund may not be able to open your account. Identifying information must be provided for each trader on an account. The fund may also place limits on account transactions while it is in the process of verifying your identity. If the fund is unable to verify your identity, or that of another person(s) authorized to act on your behalf, or if the fund believes it has identified potentially criminal activity, the fund reserves the right to take action it deems appropriate or as required by law, which may include redeeming your shares and closing your account.
Eligible retirement plans generally may open an account and purchase Class R1 and R6 shares by contacting any broker, dealer or other financial service firm authorized to sell Class R1 and R6 shares of the funds. Additional shares may be purchased through a retirement plan’s administrator, record-keeper or financial service firm serving as an intermediary. There is no minimum investment for eligible retirement plans investing in Class R1, Class R3 and R6 shares.
Class R3 shares are offered in a specific IRA that plan participants may choose to invest in should they have a need for a rollover IRA. The primary method of distribution for Class R3 shares is an “education-only” team that focuses on participants with retirement asset balances of less than $50,000.
Please refer to the retirement plan documents for information on how to purchase Class R1, R3 and R6 shares of the funds and any fees that may apply.
Transamerica Funds must receive your payment within two business days after your order is accepted.
Transamerica Funds or its agents may reject a request for purchase of shares at any time, in whole or in part, including any purchase under the exchange privilege. Each fund reserves the right to discontinue offering Class R1, R3 and R6 shares at any time, to liquidate Class R1, R3 and R6 shares or merge Class R1, R3 and R6 shares into another class of shares, or to cease investment operations entirely.
Each fund reserves the right to make additional exceptions or otherwise to modify the foregoing policies at any time.
Selling Shares
Shares may be sold (or “redeemed”) on any day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. Proceeds from the redemption of shares will normally be sent to redeeming shareholders within two business days after receipt of a redemption request in good order, but in any event within seven days, regardless of the method the fund uses to make such payment (e.g., check, wire or electronic funds transfer (ACH)). However, Transamerica Funds may postpone payment under certain circumstances, such as when the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than on weekends or holidays) or trading is restricted, if an emergency exists, or otherwise as permitted by order of the SEC or authorized by law.
If you own Class R1, R3 or R6 shares, please refer to the retirement plan documents for information on how to redeem Class R1, R3 and R6 shares of the funds.
Shares are redeemed at NAV.
Shares will normally be redeemed for cash, although each fund retains the right to wholly or partly redeem its shares in kind, under unusual circumstances (such as adverse or unstable market, economic, or political conditions), in an effort to protect the interests of shareholders by the delivery of securities selected from its assets at its discretion. On the same redemption date, some shareholders may be paid in whole or in part in securities (which may differ among those shareholders), while other shareholders may be paid entirely in cash. The disposal of the securities received in-kind may be subject to brokerage costs and, until sold, such securities remain at market risk and liquidity risk, including the risk that such securities are or become difficult to sell. If the fund pays your redemption with illiquid or less liquid securities, you will bear the risk of not being able to sell such securities. The funds may pay redemption proceeds with cash obtained through short-term borrowing arrangements, if available. Please see the SAI for more details.
Please see additional information relating to original signature guarantee later in this prospectus.
Exchanging Shares
For Class R1, R3 and R6 shares, if authorized by your plan, you can request an exchange of your shares in one fund for corresponding shares of another fund. Please refer to your plan’s documents for additional information. An exchange is treated as a redemption of a fund’s shares followed by a purchase of the shares of the fund into which you exchanged. Prior to making exchanges into a fund you do not own, please read the prospectus of that fund.
An exchange of shares in one fund for shares of another fund is considered a redemption followed by a purchase and generally results in a capital gain or loss for federal income tax purposes, unless you are investing through an IRA, 401(k) or other tax-advantaged account. You should consult your tax advisor before making an exchange.

Signature Guarantee
An original signature guarantee assures that a signature is genuine so that you are protected from unauthorized account transactions. Acceptable guarantors only include participants in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP2000”). Participants in STAMP2000 may include financial institutions such as banks, savings and loan associations, trust companies, credit unions, broker-dealers, and member firms of a national securities exchange. For certain requests, a notary may be accepted.
An original signature or notary guarantee is typically required if any of the following is applicable:
You request a redemption or distribution transaction totaling more than $100,000 or, in the case of an IRA with a market value in excess of $100,000, you request a custodian to custodian transfer.
You would like a check made payable to anyone other than the shareholder(s) of record.
You would like a check mailed to an address which has been changed within 10 days of the redemption request.
You would like a check mailed to an address other than the address of record.
You would like your redemption proceeds wired to a bank account other than a bank account of record.
Wire or ACH proceeds to a bank account changed within 10 days of the redemption request.
You are adding or removing a shareholder from an account.
You are changing ownership of an account.
When establishing an electronic bank link, if the Transamerica Funds’ account holder’s name does not appear on the check.
Transactions requiring supporting legal documentation.
The funds reserve the right to require an original signature guarantee or a notary under other circumstances or to reject or delay a redemption on certain legal grounds.
An original signature guarantee may be refused if any of the following is applicable:
It does not appear valid or in good form.
The transaction amount exceeds the surety bond limit of the signature guarantee.
The guarantee stamp has been reported as stolen, missing or counterfeit.
102

Note: For certain maintenance and non-financial requests, Transamerica Funds may require a Signature Validation Program Stamp for your protection. When an institution provides a Signature Validation Program Stamp, it assures Transamerica Funds that the signature and instructions are yours and that you have the authority to provide the instruction(s) contained within the request.
E-Mail Communication
As e-mail communications may not be secure, and because we are unable to take reasonable precautions to verify your shareholder and transaction information, we cannot respond to account-specific requests received via e-mail. For your protection, we ask that all account-specific requests be submitted only via telephone, mail or through the secure link on our website.
Right to Terminate or Suspend Account Privileges
A fund may, in its discretion, limit or terminate trading activity by any person, group or account that it believes would be disruptive, even if the activity has not exceeded the policy described in this prospectus. As part of the fund’s policy to detect and deter frequent purchases, redemptions and exchanges, the fund may review and consider the history of frequent trading activity in all accounts in the Transamerica Funds known to be under common ownership or control. The fund may send a written warning to a shareholder that it believes may be engaging in disruptive or excessive trading activity; however, the fund reserves the right to suspend or terminate the ability to purchase or exchange shares, with or without warning, for any account that the fund determines, in the exercise of its discretion, has engaged in such trading activity.
Market Timing/Excessive Trading
Some investors try to profit from various short-term or frequent trading strategies known as market timing. Examples of market timing include switching money into funds when their share prices are expected to rise and taking money out when their share prices are expected to fall, and switching from one fund to another and then back again after a short period of time. As money is shifted in and out, a fund may incur expenses for buying and selling securities. Excessive purchases, redemptions or exchanges of fund shares may disrupt portfolio management, hurt fund performance and drive fund expenses higher. For example, a fund may be forced to liquidate investments as a result of short-term trading and incur increased brokerage costs or realize capital gains without attaining any investment advantage. These costs are generally borne by all shareholders, including long-term investors who do not generate these costs.
The Board of Trustees has approved policies and procedures that are designed to discourage market timing or excessive trading, which include limitations on the number of transactions in fund shares. If you intend to engage in such practices, we request that you do not purchase shares of any of the funds. Each fund reserves the right to reject any request to purchase shares, including purchases in connection with an exchange transaction, which the fund reasonably believes to be in connection with market timing or excessive trading.
While the funds discourage market timing and excessive short-term trading, the funds cannot always recognize or detect such trading, particularly if it is facilitated by financial intermediaries or done through Omnibus Account arrangements.
The funds’ distributor has entered into agreements with intermediaries requiring the intermediaries to provide certain information to help identify harmful trading activity and to prohibit further purchases or exchanges by a shareholder identified as having engaged in excessive trading. There is no guarantee that the procedures used by financial intermediaries will be able to curtail frequent, short-term trading activity. For example, shareholders who seek to engage in frequent, short-term trading activity may use a variety of strategies to avoid detection, and the financial intermediaries’ ability to deter such activity may be limited by operational and information systems capabilities. Due to the risk that the funds and financial intermediaries may not detect all harmful trading activity, it is possible that shareholders may bear the risks associated with such activity.
Orders to purchase, redeem or exchange shares forwarded by certain omnibus accounts with Transamerica Funds will not be considered to be market timing or excessive trading for purposes of Transamerica Funds’ policies. However, the market timing and excessive trading policies of these omnibus firms or plans may apply to transactions by the underlying shareholders.
Additional Information
This prospectus and the SAI provide information concerning the funds that you should consider in determining whether to purchase shares of a fund. A fund may make changes to this information from time to time. Each fund’s investment strategies and policies may be changed from time to time without shareholder approval, unless specifically stated otherwise in this prospectus or in the SAI.
Neither this prospectus nor the SAI is intended to give rise to any contract rights or other rights of any shareholder, other than rights conferred by federal or state securities laws.
The funds enter into contractual arrangements with various parties, including the funds’ investment manager, who provide services to the funds. Shareholders are not parties to, or intended (or “third-party”) beneficiaries of those contractual arrangements.
103

To the extent authorized by law, the funds reserve the right to discontinue offering shares at any time, to merge or liquidate a class of shares or to cease operations entirely.
Abandoned or Unclaimed Property
Every state has unclaimed property laws that generally provide for escheatment to the state of unclaimed property under various circumstances. In addition to the state unclaimed property laws, we may be required to escheat property pursuant to regulatory demand, finding, agreement or settlement. To help prevent such escheatment, it is important that you keep your contact and other information on file with us up to date, including the names, contact information and identifying information for customers, beneficiaries and other payees. Such updates should be communicated in a form and manner satisfactory to us. Individual states may have their own requirements. For more information regarding escheatment and unclaimed property in your state, ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website.
Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order
We cannot process your requests for transactions relating to the funds until they are received in good order. “Good order” means the actual receipt of the instructions relating to the requested transaction in writing (or, when appropriate, by telephone or electronically), along with all forms, information and supporting legal documentation necessary to effect the transaction. This information and documentation generally includes, to the extent applicable to the transaction: your completed application; the transaction amount (in dollars, shares or percentage terms); the names, fund and account number(s) and allocations to and/or from the fund accounts affected by the requested transaction; the signatures of all owners (exactly as registered on the account) if necessary; Social Security Number or Taxpayer I.D.; and any other information or supporting documentation that we may require, including any spousal or joint owner’s consents and signature guarantees. With respect to purchase requests, “good order” also generally includes receipt of sufficient funds to effect any purchase. We may, in our sole discretion, determine whether any particular transaction request is in good order, and we reserve the right to change or waive any good order requirements at any time. “Received” or receipt in good order generally means that everything necessary must be received by the funds, at our mailing address specified in this prospectus. We reserve the right to reject electronic transactions that do not meet our requirements.
Pricing of Shares 
How Share Price Is Determined
The price at which shares are purchased or redeemed is the NAV that is next calculated following receipt and acceptance of a purchase order in good order or receipt of a redemption order in good order by the fund, an authorized intermediary, or the mail processing center located in Kansas City, Missouri.
When Share Price Is Determined
The NAV of each fund (or class thereof) is determined on each day the NYSE is open for business as of the scheduled close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). If the NYSE closes at another time, each fund will calculate a NAV for each class of shares as of the scheduled closing time. The NAV is not determined on days when the NYSE is closed (generally New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas). Foreign securities may trade in their primary markets on weekends or other days when a fund does not price its shares (therefore, the value of a fund’s foreign securities may change on days when shareholders will not be able to buy or sell shares of the funds). These securities will be valued pursuant to the funds’ Pricing and Valuation procedures for such securities.
Purchase orders received in good order and accepted, and redemption orders received in good order, as of the scheduled close of regular trading of the NYSE, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, receive the NAV determined as of the close of the NYSE that day(plus any applicable sales charges). Purchase and redemption requests received after the NYSE is closed receive the NAV determined as of the close of the NYSE the next day the NYSE is open.
How NAV Is Calculated
The NAV of each fund (or class thereof) is calculated by taking the value of its net assets and dividing by the number of shares of the fund (or class) that are then outstanding.
The Board has approved procedures to be used to value the funds’ securities for purposes of determining the funds’ NAV. The valuation of the securities of the funds is determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board. While the Board has primary responsibility to shareholders for valuation of portfolio securities, the Board has delegated certain valuation functions for the funds to TAM.
104

In general, securities and other investments (including shares of ETFs) are valued based on market prices at the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Fund securities (including shares of ETFs) listed or traded on domestic securities exchanges or the NASDAQ/NMS, including dollar-denominated foreign securities or ADRs, are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. With respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ/NMS, such closing price may be the last reported sale price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, then the value should be determined with reference to the last sale price, or the NOCP, if applicable, on any other exchange or system. If there have been no sales for that day on any exchange or system, a security is valued at the closing bid quotes on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, or at the NOCP, if applicable. Foreign securities traded on U.S. exchanges are generally priced using last sale price regardless of trading activity. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the last bid price. The market price for debt obligations is generally the price supplied by an independent third party pricing service, which may use market prices or quotations or a variety of fair value techniques and methodologies. Short-term debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, unless it is determined that using this method would not reflect an investment’s fair value. The prices that the fund uses may differ from the amounts that would be realized if the investments were sold and the differences could be significant, particularly for securities that trade in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience extreme volatility. Foreign securities generally are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, and are converted from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Market quotations for securities prices may be obtained from automated pricing services. Shares of open-end funds (other than ETF shares) are generally valued at the NAV reported by that investment company. ETF shares are valued at the most recent sale price or official closing price on the exchange on which they are traded.
When a market quotation for a security is not readily available (which may include closing prices deemed to be unreliable because of the occurrence of a subsequent event), a valuation committee appointed by the Board may, in good faith, establish a value for the security in accordance with fair valuation procedures adopted by the Board. The Board reviews all fair value determinations typically at its regularly scheduled meetings. The types of securities for which such fair value pricing may be required include, but are not limited to: foreign securities, where a significant event occurs after the close of the foreign market on which such security principally trades that is likely to have changed the value of such security, or the closing value is otherwise deemed unreliable; securities of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; securities whose trading has been halted or suspended; fixed-income securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market value quotation; and securities that are restricted as to transfer or resale. The funds use a fair value model developed by an independent third party pricing service to price foreign equity securities on days when there is a certain percentage change in the value of a domestic equity security index, as such percentage may be determined by TAM from time to time.
Valuing securities in accordance with fair value procedures involves greater reliance on judgment than valuing securities based on readily available market quotations. The valuation committee makes fair value determinations in good faith in accordance with the funds’ valuation procedures. Fair value determinations can also involve reliance on quantitative models employed by a fair value pricing service. There can be no assurance that a fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the fund determines its NAV.
Distribution of Shares 
Distributor
Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”), located at 1801 California Street, Suite 5200, Denver, CO 80202, underwrites and distributes all classes of fund shares and bears the expenses of offering these shares to the public. TCI is an affiliate of the investment manager and the funds.
The funds may pay TCI, or its agent, fees for its services. In the case of Class R1, R3 and R6 shares, TCI, or its agent, may share revenue with brokers, dealers or intermediaries who sold shares.
Distribution Plan
Each fund has adopted a Rule 12b-1 Plan under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Plan”) for Class R1 and Class R3 shares.
The Plan permits the use of fund assets to pay distribution and service fees for the sale and distribution of its shares. These fees are used to pay TCI, broker-dealers, financial intermediaries and other professionals who sell fund shares and provide ongoing services to shareholders and to pay other marketing and advertising expenses.
Under the Plan, each fund pays the following distribution and service fees (as a percentage of the fund’s average daily net assets):
Class R1 Shares – Up to 0.50%
Class R3 Shares – Up to 0.25%
105

Because these fees are paid out of each fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
Other Distribution and Service Arrangements
TCI, TAM and their affiliates may enter into arrangements with affiliated entities that provide administrative, recordkeeping and other services with respect to one or more of the funds. Payment for these services is made by TCI, TAM and their affiliates out of past profits and other available sources and may take the form of internal credit, recognition or cash payments. TCI, TAM and their affiliates may also enter into similar arrangements with unaffiliated entities.
TCI engages in wholesaling activities designed to support, maintain, and increase the number of financial intermediaries who sell shares of the funds. Wholesaling activities include, but are not limited to, recommending and promoting, directly or through intermediaries, the funds to financial intermediaries and providing sales training, retail broker support and other services. Payment for these activities is made by TCI, TAM and their affiliates out of past profits and other available sources, including revenue sharing payments from others.
TCI (in connection with, or in addition to, wholesaling services), TAM and fund sub-advisers, directly or through TCI, out of their past profits and other available sources, typically provide cash payments or non-cash compensation to unaffiliated brokers and other financial intermediaries who have sold shares of the funds, promote the distribution of the funds or render investor services to fund shareholders. Such payments and compensation are in addition to the sales charges, Rule 12b-1 Plan fees, service fees and other fees that may be paid, directly or indirectly, to such brokers and other financial intermediaries. These arrangements are sometimes referred to as “revenue sharing” arrangements. The amount of revenue sharing payments is substantial, may be substantial to any given recipient and may exceed the costs and expenses incurred by the recipient for any fund-related distribution or shareholder servicing activities. The presence of these payments and the basis on which an intermediary compensates its registered representatives or salespersons may create an incentive for a particular intermediary, registered representative or salesperson to highlight, feature or recommend the funds, at least in part, based on the level of compensation paid. Revenue sharing arrangements are separately negotiated. Revenue sharing payments are not an additional charge to the funds.
Such additional cash payments may be made to brokers and other financial intermediaries that provide services to the funds and/or fund shareholders, including (without limitation) shareholder servicing, marketing support and/or access to meetings and/or events, sales representatives and management representatives of the broker or other financial intermediaries. Cash compensation may also be paid to brokers and other financial intermediaries for inclusion of a fund on a sales list or mutual fund trading platform, including a preferred or select sales list or trading platform, in other sales programs, or as an expense reimbursement or compensation in cases where the broker or other financial intermediary provides services to fund shareholders. To the extent permitted by applicable law, TCI and other parties may pay or allow other incentives and compensation to brokers and other financial intermediaries. TCI, TAM and the other parties making these payments generally assess the advisability of continuing making these payments periodically. These cash payments may take a variety of forms, including (without limitation), annual flat fees, reimbursement of ticket charges, additional compensation based on sales, on-going fees for shareholder servicing and maintenance of investor accounts, and finder’s fees that vary depending on the fund or share class and the dollar amount of shares sold. Revenue sharing payments can be calculated: (i) as a percentage of gross or net sales for a particular period; (ii) as a percentage of gross or net assets under management; (iii) as a fixed or negotiated flat fee dollar amount; or (iv) based on a combination of any of these methods. During 2021, in general, payments calculated as a percentage of sales ranged from 1 basis point (0.01%) to 50 basis points (0.50%), payments calculated as a percentage of assets under management ranged from 5 basis points (0.05%) to 15 basis points (0.15%), and flat annual fees ranged from $1,000 to $250,000, which included at times payments for a series of meetings and/or events of other broker-dealers and banks.
As of December 31, 2021, TCI had revenue sharing agreements with more than 71 brokers and other financial intermediaries including, without limitation: Advisor Group, Inc.; Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc.; Avantax Investment Services Inc.; AXA Advisors LLC/AXA Network; BBVA Securities, Inc.; BOSC, Inc.; Bruderman Brothers; Cabot Lodge Securities LLC; Cadaret, Grant & Co.; Cambridge Investment Research; Centaurus Financial, Inc.; Cetera Financial Group, Inc.; CFD Investments, Inc.; Charles Schwab; Citigroup Global Markets, Inc.; Citizens Securities Inc.; CUSO Financial; D.A. Davidson & Co., Inc.; Edward Jones; Equitable Network, LLC; Equity Services, Inc.; Fidelity Investments; Financial Data Services, Inc.; FSC Securities Corporation; Geneos Wealth Management; GW Sherwold Associates, Inc.; Hantz Financial Services, Inc.;; Huntington Investment Company; Independent Financial Group; Investacorp, Inc.; Infinex Investments, Inc.; James T. Borello & Co.; Janney Montgomery Scott; J.P. Morgan Securities LLC; Kestra Investment Services; KMS Financial Services Inc.; LPL Financial Corp.; Merrill Lynch; Morgan Stanley Smith Barney; M&T Securities Inc.; MML Investors Services; Mutual of Omaha Investor Services Inc.; National Financial Services, Inc.; Next Financial; National Planning Corp.; Oppenheimer & Co.; Park Avenue Securities; Parkland Securities, LLC; Pershing LLC; Pursche Kaplan Sterling Financial; Raymond James and Associates, Inc.; Raymond James Financial Services, Inc.; RBC Wealth Management; Royal Alliance Associates, Inc.; Sagepoint Financial Inc.; Securian Financial Services; Securities America, Inc.; Securities Service Network, Inc.; Sigma Financial Corporation; Stifel Nicolaus & Company Inc.; Suntrust Investment Services, Inc.; TD Ameritrade; Transamerica Financial Advisors, Inc.; UBS Financial Services, Inc.; United Planners Financial Services of America; US Bancorp Investments, Inc.; Voya Financial Advisors, Inc.; Waddell Reed; Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC; Wentworth

Financial Partners; and Woodbury Financial Services. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2021, TCI paid approximately $40 million to these brokers and other financial intermediaries in connection with revenue sharing arrangements. TCI expects to have revenue sharing arrangements with a number of brokers and other financial intermediaries in 2022, including some or all of the foregoing brokers and financial intermediaries, among others, on terms similar to those discussed above.
For the calendar year ended December 31, 2021, TCI and its affiliates did not receive any revenue sharing payments from firms that pay revenue to participate in TCI sponsored events
As of December 31, 2021, TAM made revenue sharing payments to approximately 9 financial intermediaries with respect to the funds, the most sizeable of which were to TCI and Transamerica Life Insurance Company. For the same period, TAM did not receive any revenue sharing payments from financial services firms.
TAM also serves as investment manager to certain funds of funds that are underlying investment options for Transamerica insurance products. TCI and its affiliates make revenue sharing payments to, or receive revenue sharing payments from, affiliates of certain underlying unaffiliated funds within Transamerica insurance products for the provision of services to investors and distribution activities. These amounts are in addition to any revenue sharing programs described above with respect to mutual fund distributors. A financial intermediary may receive both mutual fund-related and insurance-related revenue sharing payments.
In addition, while TCI typically pays most of the sales charge applicable to the sale of fund shares to brokers and other financial intermediaries through which purchases are made, TCI may, on occasion, pay the entire sales charge. (Additional information about payments of sales charges to brokers is available in the section titled “Dealer Reallowances” of the SAI.)
From time to time, TCI, its affiliates and/or TAM and/or fund sub-advisers may also, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay non-cash compensation or revenue sharing to brokers and other financial intermediaries and their sales representatives in the form of, for example: (i) occasional gifts or prizes; (ii) occasional meals, tickets or other entertainment; and/or (iii) ad hoc sponsorship support of broker marketing events, programs, sales contests, promotions or other activities. Such non-cash compensation may also include, in part, assistance with the costs and expenses associated with travel, lodging, and educational sales and promotional meetings, seminars, programs and conferences, entertainment and meals to the extent permitted by law. TCI and TAM may also make payments in connection with the sponsorship by Transamerica or its affiliates of special events which may be attended by brokers and other financial intermediaries. Such non-cash compensation is in addition to the overall revenue sharing arrangements described above.
The non-cash compensation to sales representatives and compensation or reimbursement received by brokers and other financial intermediaries through sales charges, other fees payable from the funds, and/or revenue sharing arrangements for selling shares of the funds may be more or less than the overall compensation or reimbursement on similar or other products and may influence your broker or other financial intermediary to present and recommend the funds over other investment options available in the marketplace. In addition, depending on the arrangements in place at any particular time, your broker or other financial intermediary may have a financial incentive for recommending a particular class of fund shares over other share classes.
Shareholders may obtain more information about these arrangements, including the conflicts of interests that such arrangements may create, from their brokers and other financial intermediaries, and should so inquire if they would like additional information. Intermediaries may categorize and disclose these arrangements to their clients and to members of the public in a manner different from the disclosures in this prospectus and the SAI. A shareholder should ask his/her broker or financial intermediary how he/she will be compensated for investments made in the funds. Revenue sharing payments, as well as payments under the shareholder services and distribution plan (where applicable), also benefit TAM, TCI and their affiliates and fund sub-advisers to the extent the payments result in more assets being invested in the funds on which fees are being charged.
Although a fund may use financial firms that sell fund shares to effect transactions for the fund’s portfolio, the fund and its investment manager or sub-adviser will not consider the sale of fund shares as a factor when choosing financial firms to effect those transactions.

Distributions and Taxes
Dividends and Distributions
Each fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains, if any, to its shareholders each year. Dividends will be reinvested in additional shares unless you elect to take your dividends in cash. Each fund generally pays any dividends and other distributions annually.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Trustees of Transamerica Funds has delegated authority to TAM to change the frequency with which dividends are declared and paid by a fund, including if a fund does not have any income to distribute, and to declare and make payments of long-term capital gains with respect to a fund as permitted or required by law or in order to avoid tax penalties. Further, each fund reserves the right to change its dividend distribution policy at the discretion of the Board of Trustees.
Taxes on Distributions in General
A fund will not generally have to pay income tax on amounts it distributes to shareholders. Shareholders will generally be taxed on distributions (other than any distributions treated as a return of capital), whether such distributions are paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares.
The following are guidelines for how certain distributions by a fund are generally taxed to non-corporate shareholders under current federal income tax law:
Distributions of net capital gain (i.e., the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) will be taxed as long-term capital gains, generally at reduced rates, regardless of how long the shareholders have held their shares. Certain capital gain dividends attributable to dividends received from U.S. REITs may be taxable to noncorporate shareholders at a rate other than the generally applicable reduced rates.
Distributions reported as paid from a fund’s “qualified dividend income” may be taxable to shareholders as qualified dividend income at reduced rates. Qualified dividend income generally is income derived from certain dividends from U.S. corporations or certain foreign corporations that are either incorporated in a U.S. possession or eligible for tax benefits under certain U.S. income tax treaties. In addition, dividends that a fund receives in respect of stock of certain foreign corporations will be qualified dividend income if that stock is readily tradable on an established U.S. securities market. A shareholder (and the fund in which the shareholder invests) will have to satisfy certain holding period requirements in order for the shareholder to obtain the benefit of the tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
Distributions in excess of a fund’s earnings and profits will, as to each shareholder, be treated as a return of capital to the extent of the shareholder’s basis in his or her fund shares, and as a capital gain thereafter (assuming the shareholder holds the shares as capital assets). A distribution treated as a return of capital will not be taxable currently but will reduce the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her shares, which will generally increase the gain (or decrease the loss) that will be recognized on a subsequent sale or exchange of the shares.
Other distributions generally will be taxed at ordinary income tax rates.
A 3.8% Medicare contribution tax generally applies to all or a portion of the net investment income of a shareholder who is an individual and not a nonresident alien for federal income tax purposes and who has adjusted gross income (subject to certain adjustments) that exceeds a threshold amount. This 3.8% tax also applies to all or a portion of the undistributed net investment income of certain shareholders that are estates or trusts. For these purposes, dividends, interest, and certain capital gains are generally taken into account in computing a shareholder’s net investment income.
If a fund declares a dividend in October, November, or December, payable to shareholders of record in such a month, and pays it in the following January, shareholders will be taxed on the dividend as if they received it in the year in which it was declared.
Each fund in which you invest will send you a tax report annually summarizing the amount and tax aspects of your distributions. If you buy shares of a fund shortly before it makes a taxable distribution, the distribution will be generally taxable to you even though it may effectively represent a return of a portion of your investment. This is known as “buying a dividend.”
Investors who invest through tax-deferred accounts, such as IRAs, 403(b) accounts, and qualified retirement plans, will ordinarily not be subject to tax until a distribution is made from the account, at which time such distribution is generally taxed as ordinary income. These accounts are subject to complex tax rules, and tax-deferred account investors should therefore consult their tax advisers regarding their investments in a tax-deferred account.
The funds may recognize income on distributions from underlying funds in which they invest and may also recognize gains and losses if they redeem or sell shares in underlying funds. Distributions of net capital gains or qualified dividend income of either the funds or underlying funds will generally be taxed at reduced long-term capital gain rates when distributed to noncorporate shareholders of the funds. Other distributions, including short-term capital gains, generally will be taxed as ordinary income. The structure of the funds and the reallocation of investments among underlying funds could affect the amount, timing and character of distributions.
108

Taxes on the Sale or Exchange of Shares
If you sell shares of a fund or exchange them for shares of another fund, you generally will have a capital gain or loss, which will generally be a long-term capital gain or loss if you held the shares for more than one year; otherwise it will generally be a short-term capital gain or loss.
Any loss recognized on shares held for six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any amounts treated as distributions of long-term capital gain that were received with respect to the shares.
Any gain or loss on the sale or exchange of shares is computed by subtracting your tax basis in the shares from the redemption proceeds in the case of a sale or the value of the shares received in the case of an exchange. Because your tax basis depends on the original purchase price, on the price at which any dividends may have been reinvested, and on the amount of any distributions treated as returns of capital for federal income tax purposes, you should be sure to keep account statements so that you or your tax return preparer will be able to determine whether a sale will result in a taxable gain or loss.
Withholding Taxes
A fund in which you invest may be required to apply backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax on all distributions payable to you if you fail to provide the funds with your correct taxpayer identification number or to make required certifications, or if you have been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) that you are subject to backup withholding.
The backup withholding rate is currently 24%. Backup withholding is not an additional tax, but is a method by which the IRS ensures that it will collect taxes otherwise due. Any amounts withheld may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability. Backup withholding will not be applied to payments that have been subject to the 30% withholding tax applicable to shareholders that are not U.S. persons.
Non-Resident Alien Withholding
Dividends and certain other payments (but not distributions of net capital gains) to persons who are not citizens or residents of the United States or U.S. entities (“Non-U.S. Persons”) are generally subject to U.S. tax withholding at the rate of 30%. The 30% withholding described in this paragraph will not be imposed on any dividends reported as interest-related dividends or as short-term capital gain dividends. Each fund intends to withhold U.S. federal income tax at the rate of 30% on taxable distributions and other payments to Non-U.S. Persons that are subject to withholding, regardless of whether a lower rate may be permitted under an applicable treaty.
If you are a Non-U.S. Person, you must provide a U.S. mailing address to establish an account unless your broker-dealer firm submits your account through the National Securities Clearing Corporation. Your broker-dealer will be required to submit a foreign certification form. Investors changing a mailing address to a non-U.S. address will be required to have a foreign certification form completed by their broker-dealer and returned to us before future purchases can be accepted. Additionally, those shareholders will need to provide an appropriate tax form (e.g., Form W-8BEN) and documentary evidence and letter of explanation.
Unless certain non-U.S. entities that hold fund shares comply with IRS requirements that will generally require them to report information regarding U.S. persons investing in, or holding accounts with, such entities, a 30% withholding tax may apply to fund distributions payable to such entities. A non-U.S. shareholder may be exempt from the withholding described in this paragraph under an applicable intergovernmental agreement between the U.S. and a foreign government, provided that the shareholder and the applicable foreign government comply with the terms of such agreement.
Other Tax Information
This tax discussion is for general information only. In addition to federal income taxes, you may be subject to state, local or foreign taxes on payments received from, and investments made in shares of, a fund. More information is provided in the SAI of the funds. You should also consult your own tax adviser for information regarding all tax consequences applicable to your investments in the funds.

Transamerica Bond
Principal Investment Strategies: The fund’s sub-adviser, Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC (the “sub-adviser”), invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the fund’s net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in fixed-income securities, which may include U.S. government and foreign government bonds and notes (including emerging markets), mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed, and asset-backed securities (including collateralized mortgage obligations), corporate bonds of issuers in the U.S. and foreign countries (including emerging markets), convertible bonds and other convertible securities, bank loans and loan participations, structured notes, and preferred securities.
Under normal circumstances, at least 50% of the fund’s net assets will be invested in (a) debt securities rated investment grade or higher (rated at least BBB by Standard & Poor’s or Fitch or Baa by Moody’s) by at least two rating agencies or, if unrated, are determined to be of comparable quality by the sub-adviser; (b) securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities; (c) commercial paper rated Prime, Prime-1 or Prime-2 by NCO/Moody’s Commercial Paper Division, or A-1 or A-2 by Standard & Poor’s; and/or (d) cash or cash equivalents. Up to 50% of the fund’s net assets may be invested in debt securities that do not meet the investment grade criteria referred to above (commonly known as “junk bonds”). The fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in equity securities, such as common stocks, rights, warrants or preferred stock. The fund may invest in securities of any maturity and does not have a target average duration.
The sub-adviser uses a combination of a global “top-down” analysis of the macroeconomic and interest rate environments and global asset classes and proprietary “bottom-up” research of sectors, industries, issuers and individual securities. In the sub-adviser’s “top-down” approach, the sub-adviser analyzes various fundamental, technical, sentiment and valuation factors that affect the movement and relative value of markets and securities prices worldwide. In its proprietary “bottom-up” research of corporate and sovereign debt and other fixed-income securities, the sub-adviser considers various fundamental and other factors, such as creditworthiness, capital structure, covenants, cash flows and, as applicable, collateral. The sub-adviser’s research analysts also integrate environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters within their analytical process for credit, sovereign and structured issuers alongside traditional credit metrics as a risk management tool and as a method to identify financially material ESG factors and arrive at an independent, comprehensive view of the investment. Consideration of ESG matters is subjective and not determinative in the sub-adviser's investment process. The sub-adviser may conclude that other attributes of an investment outweigh ESG considerations when making investment decisions. The sub-adviser uses this combined “top-down” and “bottom-up” approach to determine asset class, sector, security, yield curve and duration positions for the fund.
110

The fund may, but is not required to, engage in certain investment strategies involving derivatives, such as options, futures, forward currency contracts and swaps, including, but not limited to, interest rate, total return and credit default swaps. These investment strategies may be employed as a hedging technique, as a means of altering investment characteristics of the fund’s portfolio (such as shortening or lengthening duration), in an attempt to enhance returns or for other purposes.
The fund may purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis.
Transamerica Capital Growth
Principal Investment Strategies: The fund’s sub-adviser, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (the “sub-adviser”), under normal circumstances, seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in established and emerging companies with capitalizations at the time of purchase within the range of companies included in the Russell 1000® Growth Index1, which as of December 31, 2021, was between $181.2 million and $2.74 trillion. The fund typically invests in a relatively small number of companies. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.
The fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers, including issuers located in emerging market or developing countries, securities classified as American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”), American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) or Global Depositary Shares (“GDSs”), foreign U.S. dollar denominated securities that are traded on a U.S. exchange and local shares of non-U.S. issuers. The sub-adviser considers an issuer to be from a particular country if (i) its principal securities trading market is in that country; (ii) alone or on a consolidated basis it derives 50% or more of its annual revenue from goods produced, sales made or services performed in that country; or (iii) it is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office in, that country. By applying these tests, it is possible that a particular company could be deemed to be from more than one country. The securities in which the fund may invest may be denominated in U.S. dollars or in currencies other than U.S. dollars. The fund may utilize foreign currency forward exchange contracts, which are derivatives, in connection with its investments in foreign securities. The fund’s equity investments may include common and preferred stocks, convertible securities and equity-linked securities, rights and warrants to purchase common stocks, depositary receipts, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), and other specialty securities having equity features.
The sub-adviser emphasizes a “bottom-up” stock selection process, seeking attractive investments on an individual company basis. The sub-adviser integrates environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors into its investment process by using ESG factors as a lens for additional fundamental research, which can contribute to its investment decision-making. This analysis of ESG factors is subjective and not determinative in the sub-adviser's investment process. The sub-adviser may conclude that other attributes of an investment outweigh ESG factors when making investment decisions.

Transamerica Emerging Markets Debt
Principal Investment Strategies: Under normal circumstances, the fund’s sub-adviser, MetLife Investment Management, LLC (the “sub-adviser”), invests at least 80% of the fund’s net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in debt securities of issuers located in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries are countries that major international financial institutions, such as the World Bank, generally consider to be less economically mature than developed nations. Emerging market countries can include every nation in the world except the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and most countries located in Western Europe. The fund normally invests primarily in fixed-income securities of government and government-related issuers and corporate issuers in emerging market countries.
The sub-adviser seeks to identify companies in emerging market countries that the sub-adviser believes are undervalued and have attractive or improving fundamentals. The sub-adviser analyzes the global economic environment and its impact on emerging markets. The fund normally invests its assets in local currency and hard currency (such as U.S. dollars and Euros) denominated emerging markets sovereign and corporate debt issues. The fund’s U.S. dollar and euro denominated sovereign exposure is expected to range between 30% and 100% and corporate exposure between 30% and 70%, and the fund’s local currency sovereign and corporate exposures is expected to range between 5% and 40%. The fund’s developed markets exposure will normally range between 0% and 10%. Generally, less than 10% of the fund’s assets will be invested in cash and cash equivalents.
As part of its investment analysis, the sub-adviser also uses sustainability and/or environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors to evaluate risk when determining a credit's price. The sub-adviser seeks to identify material sustainability or ESG risks and opportunities by considering factors such as social impact, direct environmental impact currently, and planned impact going forward and both management and sovereign governance that have the potential to influence asset prices going forward, which can contribute to its investment decision-making. This analysis of ESG factors is subjective and not determinative in the sub-adviser's security selection process. The sub-adviser may conclude that other attributes of an investment outweigh ESG factors when making investment decisions.
111

The fund’s holdings may range in maturity from overnight to 30 years or more and will not be subject to any minimum credit rating standard. The fund may invest in debt securities that are rated below investment grade (commonly known as “junk bonds”), including defaulted securities. The sub-adviser does not expect defaulted securities to represent more than 5% of the fund’s portfolio at any one time. The sub-adviser may, when or if available, use certain strategies, including the use of derivatives, to seek to protect the fund from what are believed to be overvalued currencies or to take advantage of what are believed to be undervalued currencies. The sub-adviser may use forward currency contracts to hedge against a decline in the value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. The sub-adviser generally considers selling a security when the sub-adviser determines that the holding no longer satisfies the fund’s investment criteria.
The fund may invest in capital securities, which are hybrid securities that combine the characteristics of bonds and preferred stocks. The fund may invest in such securities in order to take advantage of the mispricing of subordinated risk within the marketplace. The sub-adviser does not expect that capital securities will represent more than 5% of the fund’s assets at any one time.
The fund may also invest up to 25% of its assets in cross currency hedges, which involve the sale of one currency against the positive exposure to a different currency. Cross currency hedges may be used for hedging purposes or to establish an active exposure to the exchange rate between any two currencies.
The fund may invest up to 5% of its assets in issues traded in the China Bond Connect Program.
The fund is non-diversified.
Transamerica Emerging Markets Opportunities
Principal Investment Strategies: Under normal circumstances, the fund’s sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (the “sub-adviser”), will invest at least 80% of the fund’s net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in equity securities (including American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depository Receipts (“GDRs”) and European Depository Receipts (“EDRs”)) of companies that are located and/or conduct substantial business activities in emerging markets, including frontier markets. The sub-adviser considers emerging markets countries to be those countries (1) included in emerging market or equivalent classifications by the United Nations (and its agencies); (2) having per capita income in the low to middle ranges, as determined by the World Bank; or (3) designated by the fund’s benchmark index provider as emerging. The fund will normally invest primarily in emerging market companies which the sub-adviser believes have above-average potential for capital appreciation based on its “bottom-up” fundamental research and analysis.
Emerging market countries may be found in regions such as Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Many emerging market securities are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
The sub-adviser seeks to develop a portfolio that is generally broadly diversified across issuers, countries, industries and styles. The fund’s portfolio may include stocks that are considered to be either growth stocks or value stocks. Because the sub-adviser’s process is driven primarily by individual stock selection, the overall portfolio’s yield, price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, growth rate and other characteristics will vary over time and, at any given time, the fund may emphasize either growth stocks or value stocks, as the overall market may favor growth stocks, or value stocks, as a group for extended periods.
The fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers in the form of depositary receipts or other securities that are convertible into securities of foreign issuers. The sub-adviser will generally invest in mid and large capitalization companies. The sub-adviser considers such companies to be those with market capitalizations generally above $2 billion at the time of purchase. The market capitalization range of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index was $1.2 billion to $1.91 trillion as of December 31, 2021, and is expected to change frequently.
The fund’s sub-adviser will not typically utilize derivatives with the exception of purchasing futures for cash equitization purposes or purchasing market access products to seek to achieve efficient investment exposure (e.g., instances where local markets may not be available for trading). Market access products can include warrants on equities, options on equities and equity swaps. The fund may also invest in exchange-traded funds for these purposes.
The fund may invest in China A-shares (equity securities of Chinese companies) listed and traded on stock exchanges such as the Shanghai Stock Exchange or the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
Transamerica High Yield Bond
Principal Investment Strategies: The fund's sub-adviser, Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC (the “sub-adviser”), seeks to achieve the fund's objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the fund's net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in high-yield bonds (commonly known as “junk bonds”). The fund normally invests primarily in U.S. securities.
112

Junk bonds are high-risk debt securities rated below investment grade (that is, securities rated below BBB by Standard & Poor’s or Fitch or below Baa by Moody’s or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the sub-adviser). The sub-adviser seeks to achieve high returns for the fund while maintaining a reasonable risk profile.
The sub-adviser uses a combination of a global “top-down” analysis of the macroeconomic and interest rate environment and proprietary “bottom-up” research of corporate and sovereign debt, stressed and distressed securities, and other debt instruments. In the sub-adviser’s “top-down” approach, the sub-adviser analyzes various fundamental, technical, sentiment, and valuation factors that the sub-adviser believes affect the movement of markets and securities prices worldwide. This “top-down” analysis assists the sub-adviser in analyzing fund risk and allocating assets among sectors, industries, and credit quality categories. In its proprietary “bottom-up” research, the sub-adviser considers various fundamental and other factors, such as creditworthiness and capital structure. The sub-adviser’s research analysts also integrate environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters within their analytical process for credit issuers alongside traditional credit metrics as a risk management tool and as a method to identify financially material ESG factors and arrive at an independent, comprehensive view of the investment. Consideration of ESG matters is subjective and not determinative in the sub-adviser's investment process. The sub-adviser may conclude that other attributes of an investment outweigh ESG considerations when making investment decisions.
The fund has no maturity or duration requirements or limitations. The fund may invest in foreign securities, including up to 10% of its net assets in emerging market securities.
To a lesser extent, the fund may invest in investment grade bonds, bank loans, asset backed and mortgage backed securities, preferred equity securities, common equity securities (received in connection with exchanges or restructurings) and cash equivalents. The fund may also invest in hybrid instruments having both debt and equity characteristics.
Transamerica Inflation Opportunities
Principal Investment Strategies: The fund’s sub-adviser, PineBridge Investments LLC(the “sub-adviser”), seeks to achieve the fund’s investment objective by normally investing the fund’s assets primarily in inflation-indexed fixed-income securities issued by domestic and foreign governments (including those in emerging market countries), their agencies or instrumentalities, and corporations.
Inflation-indexed fixed-income securities are structured to provide protection against the negative effects of inflation. The value of an inflation-indexed fixed-income security’s principal or the interest income paid on the fixed-income security is adjusted to track changes in an official inflation measure, usually the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”) with respect to domestic issuers.
The fund may also invest in debt securities that are not inflation- indexed, including but not limited to securities issued or guaranteed by national governments, their agencies, instrumentalities, and political sub-divisions, securities of supranational organizations such as bonds, corporate debt securities, adjustable rate bonds, floating rate bonds, principal only bonds, Eurobonds, Eurodollar bonds and Yankee dollar instruments, zero coupon bonds, convertible notes, commercial paper, and commercial mortgage-backed, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The fund also may invest in money market instruments with remaining maturities of one year or less, as well as repurchase agreements, cash and cash equivalents.
The fund may invest in securities of any maturity and does not have a target average duration. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates. The longer a security’s duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The fund normally invests primarily in investment grade securities, but may invest up to 20% of its total assets in high yield securities (often referred to as “junk bonds”) rated BB or below by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or equivalently rated by Standard & Poor’s Corporation or Fitch, Inc., or, if unrated, determined by the sub-adviser to be of comparable quality.
The sub-adviser uses both “top-down” and “bottom-up” analysis to determine security and duration positions for the fund. Both “top-down” and “bottom-up” approaches rely upon the same fundamental, valuation and technical framework for what the sub-adviser considers to be a comprehensive analysis of all factors which affect asset pricing. These factors are jointly determined and are interdependent. Security sales decisions are driven by the same criteria as purchase decisions.
The fund may, but is not required to, engage in certain investment strategies involving derivatives, such as options, futures, forward currency contracts and swaps (including, but not limited to, interest rate or foreign currency transactions, total return and credit default swaps), provided that the fund’s maximum swap underlying notional value exposure does not exceed 40% of the underlying market value of the fund’s portfolio. These investment strategies may be employed in an effort to either mitigate risk or generate income.
Transamerica Intermediate Bond
Principal Investment Strategies: The fund’s sub-adviser, Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC (the “sub-adviser”), seeks to achieve the fund’s objective by investing, under normal circumstances, primarily in investment grade debt securities, which may include: investment grade corporate securities, U.S. government obligations, mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities, and private residential mortgage-backed securities. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in fixed-income securities. The
113

fund’s portfolio weighted average duration will typically range from 3 to 10 years. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates. The longer a security’s duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The fund may also invest in U.S. Treasury and agency securities, municipal bonds, asset-backed securities (including collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”s), collateralized bond obligations (“CBO”s) and collateralized debt obligations (“CDO”s)), commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), high quality short-term debt obligations and repurchase agreements. The fund’s investments may include debt securities of foreign issuers, including emerging market debt securities. The fund may invest in securities that are denominated in U.S. dollars and in foreign currencies.
The fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in emerging market debt securities and up to 10% of its net assets in high-yield debt securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”), but may invest no more than 15% of its net assets in emerging market debt securities and high-yield debt securities combined. Investment grade debt securities carry a rating of at least BBB from Standard & Poor’s or Fitch or Baa from Moody’s or are of comparable quality as determined by the sub-adviser.
The sub-adviser uses a combination of a global “top-down” analysis of the macroeconomic and interest rate environment and proprietary “bottom-up” research of corporate, government and agency debt, and other debt instruments. In the sub-adviser’s “top-down” approach, the sub-adviser analyzes various fundamental, technical, sentiment and valuation factors that affect the movements of markets and securities prices worldwide. In its proprietary “bottom-up” research, the sub-adviser considers various fundamental and other factors, such as creditworthiness, capital structure, covenants, cash flows and, as applicable, collateral. The sub-adviser’s research analysts also integrate environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters within their analytical process for credit, sovereign and structured issuers alongside traditional credit metrics as a risk management tool and as a method to identify financially material ESG factors and arrive at an independent, comprehensive view of the investment. Consideration of ESG matters is subjective and not determinative in the sub-adviser's investment process. The sub-adviser may conclude that other attributes of an investment outweigh ESG considerations when making investment decisions. The sub-adviser uses this combined “top-down” and “bottom-up” approach to determine sector, security, yield curve, and duration positions for the fund.
The fund may, but is not required to, engage in certain investment strategies involving derivatives, such as options, futures, forward currency contracts and swaps, including, but not limited to, interest rate, total return and credit default swaps. These investment strategies may be employed as a hedging technique, as a means of altering investment characteristics of the fund’s portfolio (such as shortening or lengthening duration), in an attempt to enhance returns or for other purposes.
The fund may purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis.
Transamerica International Equity
Principal Investment Strategies: Under normal circumstances, the fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in equity securities of foreign companies representing at least three countries other than the United States. The fund’s sub-adviser, Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC (the “sub-adviser”), currently anticipates investing in at least 12 countries other than the United States. The sub-adviser emphasizes established companies in individual foreign markets and seeks to stress companies and markets that it believes are undervalued. The sub-adviser expects capital growth to be the predominant component of the fund’s total return.
Generally, the fund will invest primarily in common stocks of companies listed on foreign securities exchanges, but it may also invest in depositary receipts including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) and European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”). Although the fund will emphasize larger, more seasoned or established companies, it may invest in companies of varying sizes as measured by assets, sales or market capitalization. The fund will invest primarily in securities of companies domiciled in developed markets, but may invest up to 10% of its assets in securities of companies in emerging markets. The sub-adviser seeks to diversify the fund’s investments around the world and within markets in an effort to minimize specific country and currency risks.
The sub-adviser employs a relative value process utilizing a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods based on a four-factor valuation screen designed to outperform the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East (“EAFE”) Index. The sub-adviser also performs rigorous fundamental analysis. The fund’s portfolio is typically composed of approximately 80-110 stocks as a result of this process.
The sub-adviser generally limits the fund’s investment universe to companies with a minimum of three years of operating history. The sub-adviser employs a consistent sell discipline which includes a significant negative earnings revision, a stock being sold when the catalyst is no longer valid or another stock presents a more attractive opportunity.
Transamerica International Focus
Principal Investment Strategies: The fund’s sub-adviser, Epoch Investment Partners, Inc. (the “sub-adviser”), invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the fund’s net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in common stocks and related equity securities—such as preferred stock, convertible securities and depositary receipts—of issuers economically tied to a number of countries throughout the world, including emerging market countries. In selecting investments for the fund, the sub-adviser seeks companies that have demonstrated superior earnings growth, positive business momentum and sustainable profitability while
114

seeking not to overpay for these growth characteristics. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks. The sub-adviser may invest the fund’s assets in companies of any size. The fund may also invest in warrants and rights.
The sub-adviser will normally invest the fund’s assets in investments economically tied to at least three countries not including the United States. The sub-adviser may invest a large percentage of the fund’s assets in issuers in a single country, a small number of countries, or a particular geographic region. The sub-adviser generally considers an issuer of a security or other investment to be economically tied to a particular country if (a) the security or other investment is issued or guaranteed by the government of that country or any of its agencies, authorities or instrumentalities; (b) the issuer is organized under the laws of, and maintains a principal office in, that country; (c) the issuer has its principal securities trading market in that country; (d) the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues from goods sold or services performed in that country; (e) the issuer has 50% or more of its assets in that country; or (f) the issuer is included in an index which is representative of that country.
The sub-adviser normally allocates the fund's investments across different industries and sectors, but the sub-adviser may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in issuers in a single or small number of industries or sectors.
The sub-adviser uses a “bottom-up” investment approach to buying and selling investments for the fund. A “bottom-up” approach is looking at individual companies against the context of broader market factors. Investments are selected primarily based on fundamental analysis of individual issuers and their potential in light of their financial condition, and market, economic, political, and regulatory conditions. Factors considered may include analysis of an issuer’s earnings, cash flows, competitive position, and management ability. The sub-adviser uses a quantitative screen to seek to identify companies with growth characteristics, positive earnings sentiment, stable profitability and reasonable valuations. The sub-adviser may engage in active and frequent trading in pursuing the fund’s principal investment strategies.
The fund may invest up to 5% of its assets in China A-shares (equity securities of Chinese companies) listed and traded on Chinese stock exchanges such as the Shanghai Stock Exchange or the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
Transamerica International Stock
Principal Investment Strategies: The fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies economically tied to countries outside of the U.S. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks, warrants or rights exercisable into common or preferred stock, convertible preferred stock, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) and European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”). Issuers considered to be economically tied to countries outside of the U.S. include, without limitation: (1) an issuer organized under the laws of or maintaining a principal office or principal place(s) of business outside of the U.S.; (2) an issuer of securities that are principally traded in one or more markets outside the U.S.; (3) an issuer that derives or is currently expected to derive 50% or more of its total sales, revenues, profits, earnings, growth, or another measure of economic activity from, the production or sale of goods or performance of services or making of investments or other economic activity in, one or more countries outside of the U.S., or that maintains or is currently expected to maintain 50% or more of its employees, assets, investments, operations, or other business activity outside of the U.S.; (4) a governmental or quasi-governmental entity of a country outside of the U.S.; (5) an issuer of securities that has been classified as non-U.S. by MSCI; or (6) if not covered by MSCI, an issuer of securities that the sub-adviser reasonably believes would be classified as non-U.S. by MSCI, based on MSCI's classification methodology. The fund’s sub-adviser, ClariVest Asset Management LLC (the “sub-adviser”), may consider any one of the six factors when making a determination whether an issuer is “economically tied” to a country outside of the U.S.
In selecting securities for the fund, the fund’s sub-adviser utilizes quantitative tools (including an internally developed algorithm) and qualitative analysis in a “bottom-up” investment process to help identify securities that it believes can improve the fund from a risk-reward perspective, with an emphasis on companies that the sub-adviser views as exhibiting characteristics of accelerating growth, favorable valuation, or both. The sub-adviser constructs a portfolio that seeks to maximize expected return, subject to constraints designed to meet long-run expected active risk goals.
The fund may invest in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) in order to equitize cash positions, seek exposure to certain markets or market sectors and to hedge against certain market movements. The fund may sell securities when they no longer meet the sub-adviser’s investment criteria and/or to take advantage of what are believed by the sub-adviser to be more attractive investment opportunities.
The fund’s benchmark is the MSCI EAFE Index, which measures large- and mid-cap equity performance across 21 of 23 developed countries, excluding the U.S. and Canada.
Transamerica Large Cap Value
Principal Investment Strategies: Under normal circumstances, the fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in equity securities of large cap companies. The fund considers large cap companies to be companies with capitalizations at the time of investment within the range of companies included in the Russell 1000® Index1. As of December 31, 2021, the market capitalization range of the Russell 1000® Index was between approximately $439 million and $2.9
115

trillion. The fund’s sub-adviser, Rothschild & Co Asset Management US Inc. (the “sub-adviser”), normally focuses primarily on companies with market capitalizations greater than $5 billion. The fund typically holds between 35 and 50 positions. The fund’s benchmark is the Russell 1000® Value Index.
The sub-adviser will employ a relative value approach, combining a quantitative screening tool to identify attractive candidate securities with a bottom-up, fundamental research process to select and weight individual securities. The sub-adviser’s proprietary quantitative screening tool is used to narrow the universe of potential investments by comparing stocks to their peers using a combination of factors, including relative valuation, potential for improving business prospects, earnings quality, and short-term price reversal. Valuation is assessed by the sub-adviser on both a relative and absolute basis. Relative valuation compares a stock to comparable assets in order to gauge its value and attractiveness, whereas absolute valuation evaluates a stock’s worth in absolute terms with no consideration regarding the value of other comparable assets. The sub-adviser generally invests in securities it believes to be attractively valued with the potential to exceed investor expectations and may sell securities that no longer meet the fund’s investment criteria. Value stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “growth” stocks.
The fund will generally invest in companies across a variety of industries and sectors. The fund will normally invest primarily in common stock and depositary receipts. The fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in non-U.S. securities. The sub-adviser considers non-U.S. securities to include issuers organized or located outside the U.S. and/or that trade primarily in a market located outside the U.S. The fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in small and/or medium capitalization companies.

Transamerica Large Growth
Principal Investment Strategies:
The fund normally invests primarily in common stocks of companies that its sub-advisers, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (“MSIM”) and Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), believe have the potential for above average growth in earnings. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in equity securities of large cap companies and other investments with similar economic characteristics. The fund considers large cap companies to be companies with market capitalizations that, at the time of initial purchase, exceed the market capitalization of the smallest company included in the Russell 1000® Growth Index1. As of December 31, 2021, the market capitalization of the smallest company in the Russell 1000® Growth Index was $1.22 billion. The fund generally emphasizes common and preferred stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange and other U.S. securities exchanges and, to a lesser extent, equity securities that are listed on foreign securities exchanges and those traded over-the-counter. The fund’s investment manager, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc., determines the allocation of the fund’s assets between MSIM and Wellington Management and rebalances the allocation periodically to normally maintain approximately a 50% allocation of the fund’s assets to each sub-adviser.
The fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers, including issuers located in emerging market or developing countries and securities classified as American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”), American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) or Global Depositary Shares (“GDSs”), foreign U.S. dollar denominated securities that are traded on a U.S. exchange or local shares of non-U.S. issuers. The fund may utilize foreign currency forward exchange contracts, which are derivatives, in connection with its investment in foreign securities for hedging purposes. The fund may also invest in warrants and rights.
MSIM emphasizes a “bottom-up” stock selection process, seeking attractive investments on an individual company basis. MSIM integrates environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors into its investment process by using ESG factors as a lens for additional fundamental research, which can contribute to investment decision-making. This analysis of ESG factors is subjective and not determinative in the MSIM's investment process. MSIM may conclude that other attributes of an investment outweigh ESG factors when making investment decisions.
Wellington Management uses fundamental research designed to identify issuers with improving quality metrics, business momentum and attractive relative valuations. Wellington Management’s investment process is aided by a proprietary quantitative screening process that narrows the sub-adviser’s investment universe to companies that are consistent with its investment philosophy.
The fund uses multiple sub-advisers in an effort to control the volatility often associated with growth funds, but there can be no assurance that this strategy will succeed. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.

Transamerica Mid Cap Growth
Principal Investment Strategies: The fund normally invests primarily in stocks of medium sized companies which the fund’s sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (the “sub-adviser”), believes will earn high returns on invested capital, benefit from long term secular growth trends, and meet the sub-adviser’s long term valuation criteria. Under normal circumstances, the
116

sub-adviser invests at least 80% of the fund’s net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in securities of medium sized (or mid-cap) companies and other investments with similar economic characteristics. The sub-adviser considers mid-cap companies to be companies with market capitalizations that, at the time of initial purchase, are within the range of capitalization of the companies that are included in the Russell Midcap® Growth Index1. As of December 31, 2021, the market capitalizations of companies in the Russell Midcap® Growth Index ranged from approximately $1.22 billion to $58.76 billion. Over time, the capitalizations of the companies in the Russell Midcap® Growth Index will change. As they do, the size of the companies in which the fund invests may change.
The fund’s equity securities may include common stocks and preferred stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange and on other national securities exchanges and, generally to a lesser extent, stocks that are traded over-the-counter. The fund normally emphasizes common stocks. The fund may also invest in foreign securities. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.
The fund may also invest its assets in cash, cash equivalent securities or short-term debt securities, repurchase agreements and money market instruments. Generally, 5% or less of the fund’s assets will be invested in cash and cash equivalents.

Transamerica Mid Cap Value Opportunities
Principal Investment Strategies: Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in equity securities of mid cap companies. The fund's sub-adviser, Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC (the “sub-adviser”), considers mid cap companies to be those companies, at the time of purchase, with market capitalizations within the range of companies included in the Russell Midcap® Value Index1 (between approximately $5.2 billion and $46.4 billion as of June 30, 2021, the date of the last reconstitution). The size of the companies in the Russell Midcap® Value Index will change with market conditions. The fund invests primarily in common stocks. The fund may invest in other equity and non-equity securities, including preferred stocks, convertible securities and foreign securities which may take the form of depositary receipts.
The sub-adviser seeks to invest in companies it believes present a value or potential worth that is not recognized by prevailing market prices or that have experienced some fundamental changes and are intrinsically undervalued by the investment community. The sub-adviser's mid cap value process uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods and is based on a four-factor valuation screen. Parts one and two of the screen attempt to assess a company's discount to private market value relative to other mid cap stocks. The third factor considers the relative earnings prospects of the company. The fourth factor involves looking at the company's recent price action. Value stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “growth” stocks.
The sub-adviser's analysts also explore numerous factors that might affect the outlook for a company. They evaluate publicly available information including, but not limited to, sell-side research, company filings, and trade periodicals. The analysts may speak with company management to hear their perspectives and outlook on pertinent business issues. They apply a consistent and disciplined review in a team environment that encourages critical thinking and analysis for each company considered for investment.
The sub-adviser generally considers selling a security when the catalyst for the investment is no longer valid, when the sub-adviser believes that another stock will have a higher expected return, or for portfolio risk management. The fund generally engages in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities as part of its principal investment strategy.

Transamerica Multi-Managed Balanced
Principal Investment Strategies: Under normal circumstances, the fund invests approximately 60% of its net assets in equity securities and approximately 40% of its net assets in fixed-income securities (investing at least 25% of its net assets in fixed-income senior securities being those securities that rank above another security in the event of the company’s bankruptcy or liquidation). The fund has two sub-advisers. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “equity sub-adviser”) manages the equity component of the fund and Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC (the “fixed-income sub-adviser”) manages the fixed-income component of the fund. The fund's investment manager, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc., monitors the allocation of the fund's assets between the equity sub-adviser and the fixed-income sub-adviser and rebalances the allocation periodically to maintain these approximate allocations.
Each sub-adviser varies the percentage of assets invested in any one type of security in accordance with its interpretation of economic and market conditions, fiscal and monetary policy, and underlying securities values.
Equity component – The equity sub-adviser seeks to achieve the fund's objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the equity component’s net assets in equity securities of large- and medium-capitalization U.S. companies. The fund may invest in foreign companies. The equity sub-adviser will normally keep the equity component as fully invested in equity securities as practicable. Industry by industry, the fund's weightings are generally similar to those of the S&P 500® Index. The equity sub-adviser normally does not look to overweight or underweight industries. Holdings by industry sector will normally approximate those of the S&P 500® Index.
117

As part of its investment process, alongside traditional fundamental financial analysis, the equity sub-adviser also evaluates whether environmental, social, governance (“ESG”) factors could, in the equity sub-adviser's view, have a material negative or positive impact on the cash flows or risk profiles of many companies in the universe in which the fund may invest. The equity sub-adviser seeks to identify material ESG risks and opportunities for each company and the potential for financial impacts. These assessments of ESG factors are subjective and may not be conclusive. The equity sub-adviser may purchase or retain securities of companies that it believes may be negatively impacted by ESG factors while it may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that it believes may be positively impacted by such factors.
Fixed-income component – Under normal circumstances, the fixed-income component of the fund is invested primarily in investment grade debt securities, which may include: investment grade corporate debt securities, U.S. government obligations, mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities, and private residential mortgage-backed securities. The fixed-income component’s portfolio weighted average duration will typically range from 3 to 10 years.
The fixed-income sub-adviser may also invest the fund's assets in U.S. Treasury and agency securities, municipal bonds, asset-backed securities (including collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”s), collateralized bond obligations (“CBO”s) and collateralized debt obligations (“CDO”s)), commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), high quality short-term debt obligations and repurchase agreements. The fixed-income sub-adviser’s investments for the fund may include debt securities of foreign issuers, including emerging market debt securities. The fixed-income sub-adviser may invest the fund's assets in securities that are denominated in U.S. dollars and in foreign currencies.
The fund may invest up to 10% of the fixed-income component’s net assets in emerging market debt securities and up to 10% of the fixed-income component’s net assets in high-yield debt securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”), but may invest no more than 15% of the fixed-income component’s net assets in emerging market debt securities and high-yield debt securities combined. Investment grade debt securities carry a rating of at least BBB from Standard & Poor’s or Fitch or Baa from Moody’s or are of comparable quality as determined by the fixed-income sub-adviser.
In managing the fund's fixed-income component, the fixed-income sub-adviser uses a combination of a global “top-down” analysis of the macroeconomic and interest rate environment and proprietary “bottom-up” research of corporate and government debt, and other debt instruments. In the fixed-income sub-adviser’s “top-down” approach, the fixed-income sub-adviser analyzes various fundamental, technical, sentiment and valuation factors that affect the movement of markets and securities prices worldwide. In its proprietary “bottom-up” research, the fixed-income sub-adviser considers various fundamental and other factors, such as creditworthiness, capital structure, covenants, cash flows and, as applicable, collateral. The fixed-income sub-adviser’s research analysts also integrate ESG matters within their analytical process for credit, sovereign and structured issuers alongside traditional credit metrics as a risk management tool and as a method to identify financially material ESG factors and arrive at an independent, comprehensive view of the investment. Consideration of ESG matters is subjective and not determinative in the fixed-income sub-adviser's investment process. The fixed income sub-adviser may conclude that other attributes of an investment outweigh ESG considerations when making investment decisions. The fixed-income sub-adviser uses this combined “top-down” and “bottom-up” approach to determine sector, security, yield curve positioning, and duration positions for the fixed-income component of the fund.
The fund may, but is not required to, engage in certain investment strategies involving derivatives, such as options, futures, forward currency contracts and swaps, including, but not limited to, interest rate, total return and credit default swaps. These investment strategies may be employed as a hedging technique, as a means of altering investment characteristics of the fund's portfolio (such as shortening or lengthening duration), in an attempt to enhance returns or for other purposes.
The fund may purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis.
Transamerica Short-Term Bond
Principal Investment Strategies: The fund’s sub-adviser, Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC (the “sub-adviser”), seeks to achieve the fund’s objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the fund’s net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in fixed-income securities. The fund’s portfolio weighted average duration will typically range from 1 to 2.5 years. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates. The longer a security’s duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates.
Securities in which the fund may invest include:
corporate debt securities of U.S. issuers;
debt securities of foreign issuers that are denominated in U.S. dollars, including foreign corporate issuers and foreign governments;
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities;
asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities, including commercial mortgage-backed securities; and
bank loans.
The fund expects to typically invest no more than 10% of its net assets, but may invest up to 20% of its net assets, in high-yield debt securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Junk bonds are high-risk debt securities rated below investment grade (that is, securities rated below BBB by Standard & Poor’s or Fitch or below Baa by Moody’s or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the fund’s sub-adviser). The fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in emerging market securities.
118

The sub-adviser uses a combination of a global “top-down” analysis of the macroeconomic and interest rate environment and proprietary “bottom-up” research of corporate and government debt, and other debt instruments. In the sub-adviser’s “top-down” approach, the sub-adviser analyzes various fundamental, technical, sentiment and valuation factors that affect the movement of markets and securities prices worldwide. This information helps to inform the sub-adviser’s decisions regarding the fund’s duration, yield-curve positioning and level of exposure to various asset classes. In its proprietary “bottom-up” research, the sub-adviser considers various fundamental and other factors, such as creditworthiness, capital structure, covenants, cash flows and, as applicable, collateral. The sub-adviser’s research analysts also integrate environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters within their analytical process for credit, sovereign and structured issuers alongside traditional credit metrics as a risk management tool and as a method to identify financially material ESG factors and arrive at an independent, comprehensive view of the investment. Consideration of ESG matters is subjective and not determinative in the sub-adviser's investment process. The sub-adviser may conclude that other attributes of an investment outweigh ESG considerations when making investment decisions.
The fund may, but is not required to, engage in certain investment strategies involving derivatives, such as options, futures, forward currency contracts and swaps, including, but not limited to, interest rate and total return swaps. These investment strategies may be employed as a hedging technique, as a means of altering investment characteristics of the fund’s portfolio (such as shortening or lengthening duration), in an attempt to enhance returns or for other purposes.
The fund may purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis.
Transamerica Small Cap Growth
Principal Investment Strategies: Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowing, if any, for investment purposes) in stocks of small capitalization companies. The fund’s sub-adviser, Ranger Investment Management, L.P. (the “sub-adviser”), primarily focuses on seeking to identify high quality, high-growth small capitalization companies. The sub-adviser considers small capitalization companies to be companies with market capitalizations that, at the time of initial purchase, have either market capitalizations between $100 million and $2 billion or within the range of the Russell 2000® Growth Index1, which as of May 28, 2021, the most recent reconstitution date of the index, was between $66 million and $8.8 billion.
The sub-adviser’s approach to security selection seeks quality growth companies by implementing a “bottom-up”, fundamental research driven security selection process. The sub-adviser’s focus is to attempt to identify companies with characteristics such as high recurring revenue, steady and/or accelerating sales growth, strong balance sheets and free cash flows, stable/expanding margins, and superior return on equity/return on invested capital.
In addition to the extensive quantitative analysis, careful consideration is given to qualitative analysis. The sub-adviser incorporates a preference towards companies with certain qualitative characteristics such as conservative accounting practices, seasoned management team with high corporate integrity, sustainable competitive advantage and ability to grow market share, sound corporate governance, and unique demand drivers. Once these quantitative and qualitative characteristics are analyzed, the sub-adviser then determines whether it believes a company is undervalued and has sufficient upside to the stock price to warrant an investment. The fund is managed using the growth style of investing. At any given time, growth stocks may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market.
The sub-adviser also views environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors as another input alongside traditional fundamental financial analysis when making investment decisions. The sub-adviser evaluates a company's ESG strengths and weaknesses based on its internal research process, public company documents, websites, SEC filings, third-party research, and conversations with management. The sub-adviser seeks to identify financially material ESG risks and/or opportunities for each company and the potential for financial impacts. The sub-adviser's ESG analysis is subjective and ESG factors are not determinative in the sub-adviser’s investment process. The sub-adviser may conclude that other attributes of a company outweigh factors when making investment decisions.
The fund may invest in foreign securities through American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), and generally will not invest more than 10% of the fund’s assets in foreign securities. The fund only invests in securities traded on U.S. exchanges.

Transamerica Small Cap Value
Principal Investment Strategies: The fund’s sub-adviser, Peregrine Capital Management, LLC (the “sub-adviser”) invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the fund’s net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in equity securities of small-capitalization companies. The fund generally considers a small-capitalization company to be a company with a market capitalization within the range of the Russell 2000® Value Index1 at the time of initial purchase. As of December 31, 2021, the market capitalization range of the Russell 2000® Value Index was between $33.8 million and $14 billion. The equity securities in which the fund invests are primarily common stocks of U.S. companies.
119

The sub-adviser uses a proprietary, quantitative screening process designed to identify the least expensive small cap stocks across each sector. This screening process narrows the investment universe and allows the sub-adviser to focus its fundamental research and analysis on the stocks that the sub-adviser believes are the most undervalued relative to their respective sector peer group. Fundamental research is primarily conducted through financial statement analysis, meetings with company management teams, and interacting with sell-side research analysts. Through its fundamental research and analysis, the sub-adviser seeks to uncover one or more of the following five Value Buy Criteria that the sub-adviser believes may act as a catalyst for stock appreciation:
Resolvable Short-Term Problem – Companies that may have gone through a negative fundamental event that has had an impact on stock price and valuation, and the sub-adviser believes the company has a pathway to resolve the problem within a reasonable period of time.
Catalyst for Change – Companies that may have a material fundamental event going on that the sub-adviser believes the market is not pricing in to the valuation of the stock.
Unrecognized Assets – Companies that the sub-adviser believes may have some intrinsic value that the market is not appreciating and the sub-adviser believes there is a pathway to unlocking that value within the near to moderate term.
Fundamental Undervaluation – Companies that the sub-adviser believes lack significant sponsorship from the sell-side community and may have strong margins and growth but are in the 10-15% of the lowest valued names in a sector.
Take-Over Potential – Companies that the sub-adviser believes have assets that would be more attractive in the hands of other owners.
The sub-adviser may sell a stock when the sub-adviser believes it has become fairly valued or when signs of fundamental deterioration appear. The sub-adviser may actively trade portfolio securities. Value stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “growth” stocks.
From time to time, the fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) in order to manage market liquidity and equitize cash. The fund may also invest some of its assets in cash or in money market instruments, including U.S. Government obligations and repurchase agreements, or make other short-term debt investments to maintain liquidity.

Transamerica Small/Mid Cap Value
Principal Investment Strategies: The fund’s sub-advisers, Systematic Financial Management, L.P. and Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC (the “sub-advisers”), seek to achieve the fund’s objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the fund’s net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in small- and mid-cap equity securities (U.S. equity securities, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and foreign securities trading on U.S. markets).
The fund defines small- and mid-cap equities as companies whose market capitalization falls within the range of securities comprising the Russell 2000® Index1 and the Russell Midcap® Index respectively, or within the range of the Russell 2500® Index, whichever is broader at the time of purchase. Over time, the capitalizations of the companies in the index will change. As they do, the size of the companies in which the fund invests may change. As of December 31, 2021, the market capitalization range of securities comprising the Russell 2000® Index was between $32 million and $13.96 billion, the market capitalization range of securities comprising the Russell Midcap® Index was between $435 million and $73.63 billion, and the market capitalization range of securities comprising the Russell 2500® Index was between $32 million and $35.32 billion.
The fund’s investment manager, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc., determines the allocation of the fund’s assets between the fund’s sub-advisers and rebalances the allocation periodically to normally maintain an approximate allocation of 60% of the fund’s assets to Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC and 40% of the fund’s assets to Systematic Financial Management, L.P. The fund emphasizes investments in common stocks.
Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC is the sub-adviser for the mid cap sleeve. In the mid-cap sleeve, the sub-adviser seeks to invest in companies it believes present a value or potential worth that is not recognized by prevailing market prices or that have experienced some fundamental changes and are intrinsically undervalued by the investment community. The sub-adviser’s mid-cap value process uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods and is based on a four-factor valuation screen. Factors one and two of the screen attempt to assess a company’s discount to private market value relative to other mid-cap stocks. The third factor considers the relative earnings prospects of the company. The fourth factor involves looking at the company’s recent price action.
Systematic Financial Management, L.P. is the sub-adviser for the small-cap sleeve. In the small-cap sleeve, the sub-adviser generally will invest in common stocks of companies with small capitalizations that are attractively valued and possess low price cash flow ratios or, in the case of certain financial stocks, low price/earnings ratios and/or low price/book ratios. The sub-adviser’s security selection process generally favors companies with strong operating cash flow, strong free cash flow, limited financial leverage and strong debt coverage. Trends in balance sheet items including inventories, accounts receivable, and payables are scrutinized as well. The sub-adviser also reviews the company’s products/services, market position, industry condition, financial and accounting policies and quality of management.
120

The fund’s investment methodology unifies what both sub-advisers deem to be the best attributes of quantitative screening and fundamental research in an integrated and repeatable process designed to outperform the Russell 2500® Value Index over the long term. Under normal market conditions, cash and cash equivalents are generally less than 5% of the portfolio value. Value stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “growth” stocks.
The fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in the securities of foreign issuers, including ADRs and foreign securities trading on U.S. markets. The fund may also invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), and may invest up to 5% of its total net assets in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”).

Transamerica Sustainable Equity Income
Principal Investment Strategies: The fund’s sub-adviser, Aegon Asset Management UK plc (the “sub-adviser”), deploys an active strategy that generally invests in large and middle U.S. capitalization companies, focusing on those that pay dividends and that the sub-adviser views as having a favorable sustainability profile. Under normal circumstances, the fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in equity securities. The sub-adviser generally looks to buy stocks and hold them over multi-year periods in an effort to benefit from the compounding effects of increasing dividends.
When selecting dividend-paying stocks, the sub-adviser normally seeks to invest in companies that fall within one of three groupings established by the sub-adviser. One group is “compounders” or those companies that the sub-adviser sees as consistent annual dividend growers with long-term records of growing dividend-per-share. A second group is “hoarders” or those companies that are viewed by the sub-adviser as having the operating success and balance sheet strength to potentially increase dividend payout ratios and positively surprise the market. The third group is “de-equitizers” with capital structures that the sub-adviser believes offer the potential for mergers and acquisitions or share buy-backs.
In addition, the sub-adviser seeks to invest in stocks of companies with what the sub-adviser views as having positive sustainability credentials. The sub-adviser applies its sustainability assessment framework in evaluating each company considered for the fund. A small range of industries with what are seen as having poor sustainability profiles are excluded by the sub-adviser from the investible universe at the start of the investment process. These industries currently are: tobacco, weapons, nuclear power, gambling, animal mistreatment, adult entertainment, genetic modification for agricultural purposes, coal, and oil exploration and production. Sustainability credentials of each eligible company are assessed by the sub-adviser through proprietary analysis focusing on what the sub-adviser views as material sustainability factors with clear links to risks and opportunities.
Sustainability research by the sub-adviser’s Responsible Investment team, composed of employees of the sub-adviser and certain of its affiliates, forms a key part of the sub-adviser’s investment process. The Responsible Investment team independently conducts sustainability research on each company proposed for investment by the sub-adviser’s investment team. The sustainability research uses a three-dimensional framework to analyze each company, looking at (i) its products (what it does), (ii) its practices (how it does it) and (iii) its sustainable improvement (is it improving from a sustainability perspective or does it have plans to do so?). The outcome of this analysis is that each company proposed for investment by the investment team is classified by the Responsible Investment team as either a sustainability “leader”, “improver”, or “laggard”, and the sub-adviser may only invest in companies identified as leaders or improvers.
Sustainability “leaders” are companies that the Responsible Investment team believes exhibit top-quartile performance relative to global and regional peers from a combination of positive operational practices and being strategically well positioned with regard to the impact of their products or services. Activities that generate clear positive impact are viewed positively by the team.
“Improvers” are companies in which the Responsible Investment team has identified sustainability issues that need to be addressed but where the team believes the company is taking action to address these and is showing clear signs of improvement.
“Laggards” have, in the Responsible Investment team’s view, a poor product impact and/or have unacceptably low operational standards.
If a company is classified as a “laggard” by the Responsible Investment team, the company is not eligible for inclusion in the fund.
The sub-adviser constructs a portfolio of individual stocks, selected on a “bottom-up” basis, meaning that it selects individual securities based on their specific merits, using fundamental analysis. The fund will typically consist of approximately 35 to 50 stocks with individual position sizes generally ranging from 1% to 10% of the fund’s net assets (10% maximum position weighting). Non-U.S. stocks, including American Depository Receipts (ADRs), are limited to 10% of the fund’s net assets. Annual portfolio turnover is anticipated to normally be less than 40%.
The sub-adviser generally employs a fully invested strategy. Therefore, under normal market conditions, cash and cash equivalents will generally be less than 5% of the fund’s net assets.
The fund may invest in index-traded futures to equitize cash in order to gain general equity market exposure until investments are made into stocks of individual companies.

All investments by the fund, with the exception of cash, cash equivalents and index-traded futures, are subject to the sub-adviser’s sustainability assessment framework.
Transamerica US Growth
Principal Investment Strategies: The fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in domestic common stocks. The fund invests primarily in common stocks of growth-oriented companies. Portfolio construction emphasizes stock specific risk while minimizing other sources of broad market risk. The goal is a portfolio whose relative performance is not dependent on the market environment.
The fund’s sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (the “sub-adviser”), employs a “bottom-up” approach, using fundamental analysis to identify specific securities within industries or sectors for purchase or sale. A “bottom-up” approach evaluates individual companies in the context of broader market factors.
The sub-adviser’s stock selection process is derived from its observation that the quality and persistence of a company’s business is often not reflected in its current stock price. Central to the investment process is fundamental research focused on uncovering companies with improving quality metrics, business momentum, and attractive relative valuations. The investment process is aided by a proprietary screening process that narrows the investment universe to companies that are consistent with the investment philosophy. The fund employs a growth style of investing. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.
The initial investment universe is comprised of:
Securities held in the Russell 1000® Growth and S&P 500® Growth Indexes1
Equity securities within the market-cap range of the indexes with historical or projected growth rates greater than the Russell 1000® Index median
Stocks that meet other growth criteria as determined by the sub-adviser
Consistent with the fund’s objective and other policies, the fund may invest to a lesser extent in derivatives, including futures, forwards, options and swaps. The fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities (not including American Depositary Receipts, American Depositary Shares or U.S. dollar denominated securities of foreign issuers).

Each underlying fund may invest its assets in cash, cash equivalent securities or short-term debt securities, repurchase agreements and money market instruments. Under adverse or unstable market, economic or political conditions, each fund may take temporary defensive positions in cash and short-term debt securities without limit. Although a fund would do this only in seeking to avoid losses, the fund may be unable to pursue its investment objective during that time, and it could reduce the benefit from any upswing in the market. To the extent that a fund has any uninvested cash, the fund would also be subject to risk with respect to the depository institution holding the cash.

Financial Highlights
The Financial Highlights tables are intended to help you understand a fund’s performance for the past five years or since its inception if less than five years. Certain information reflects financial results for a single fund share. The total returns in the tables represent the rate an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the fund for the period shown, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. Information has been derived from financial statements audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an Independent Registered Public Accounting firm, whose report, along with the fund’s financial statements, is included in the October 31, 2021 Annual Report, which is available to you upon request. All references to a fund's Notes to Financial Statements within the Financial Highlights tables refer to the applicable section of a fund's applicable Annual Report.
