Returns greater than 12 months have been annualized. Current quarter returns subject to performance examination. Performance represents the dollar weighted results of all accounts with substantially similar investment objectives, policies, strategies and risks present for the entire quarter managed by Transamerica Investment Management, LLC.

BALANCED COMPOSITE contains fully discretionary core balanced accounts. For comparison purposes, the composite is measured against a 40/60 blend of the Lehman Brothers Gov/Credit and the S&P500 Index. Prior to 2003, a 50/50 blend of the same indices had been used; the weighting was changed to more accurately reflect the strategy of the composite. The blended benchmark is calculated on a monthly basis. The blend is for general industry-wide comparative purposes only and may reflect moderately higher or lower asset allocations than the composite, as composite allocations and the portfolio allocation ranges within the composite will vary over time. This composite was previously known as Core Balanced Composite. Beginning January 1, 2002, the minimum account size for this composite is $10 million ($5 million at each asset class or sub account level). Prior to January 1, 2002, no minimum account size was required.
