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

Non-performance material such as, but not limited to, portfolio level fundamentals are deemed supplemental and complements
the performance disclosure below which is an integral part of this presentation.
Mid Growth Composite
contains fully discretionary mid growth equity accounts. For comparison purposes, the composite is measured against the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index. Prior to April 1, 2005, the composite was measured against the Russell 2500 Growth Index. The benchmark was changed because the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index more accurately reflects the manner in which the strategy is managed. Prior to July 1, 2005, this composite was called Small/Mid Growth Composite. The new name provides a better measure of the slightly larger market cap stocks that constitute the portfolio. Beginning January 1, 2002, the minimum account size for this composite is $10 million. Prior to January 1, 2002, no minimum account size was required.
