Investment objective

Seeks high total return.

Principal investment strategy

Under normal circumstances, the portfolios sub-adviser, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. , and the portfolios sub-sub-adviser, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited (collectively, the sub-adviser), seek to achieve the portfolios investment objective by investing primarily in a blend of equity and fixed-income securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers. Equity securities may include common and preferred stocks, depositary receipts, convertible securities, equity-linked securities, real estate investment trusts (REITs), rights and warrants to purchase equity securities and limited partnership interests. Fixed-income securities may include mortgage-related or mortgage-backed securities, inflation-linked fixed-income securities, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, securities issued or guaranteed by non-U.S.

governments, their agencies or instrumentalities, corporate bonds and notes issued by U.S. and non-U.S. entities. The portfolios neutral allocation is 60% of net assets in equity securities and 40% of net assets in fixed-income securities, including cash and cash equivalent securities, although this allocation may change and vary significantly in response to changing market conditions, as the sub-adviser tactically allocates the portfolios assets. The sub-adviser utilizes a top-down investment approach that focuses on asset class, sector, region, country and currency and thematic allocations. The sub-advisers investment and allocation decisions for the portfolio are based upon the sub-advisers evaluations, analyses and judgments, taking into account results of its fundamental market research and recommendations generated by the sub-advisers quantitative inputs.

The sub-advisers research process generally focuses on the following factors across asset classes: 1) valuation (both relative and absolute), 2) dynamics, including earnings revisions, interest rate policy and inflation expectations and 3) sentiment, such as investor flows and positioning. The portfolio may invest in any country, including developing or emerging market countries. The portfolio allocates its assets among various countries, including the U.S. (but in no fewer than three countries). Under normal market conditions and over a full market cycle, the portfolios U.S. and non-U.S. exposures will be generally consistent with those of the portfolios global multi-asset secondary benchmark, the Transamerica Morgan Stanley Global Allocation VP Blended Benchmark, which consists of the MSCI All Country World Index (60%) and Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index (40%).

The portfolios investments may be U.S. and non-U.S. dollar denominated. In determining whether to sell a security, the sub-adviser considers a number of factors, including changes in capital appreciation potential, or the overall assessment of asset class, sector, region, country, and currency and thematic allocation shifts. The portfolio may invest in equity securities of companies of all capitalization ranges. The portfolio has no credit quality, maturity or duration requirements with respect to its fixed-income investments. The mortgage-backed securities in which the portfolio may invest include mortgage pass-through securities that represent a participation interest in a pool of mortgage loans originated by U.S. governmental or private lenders such as banks. The portfolio may, but is not required to, use derivative instruments for a variety of purposes, including hedging, risk management, portfolio construction, capital appreciation, or to earn income.

Derivatives may be used to increase (long) or decrease (short) exposure to markets and asset classes (equities, bonds, commodities, and/or currencies) as part of the active strategy, or to hedge against currency or broad market risks. The portfolios use of derivatives may involve the purchase and sale of derivative instruments such as futures, options, swaps and structured investments (including commodity-linked notes), and other related instruments and techniques. The portfolio may utilize foreign currency forward exchange contracts, which are also derivatives, in connection with its investments in foreign securities. Derivative instruments used by the portfolio will be counted toward the portfolios exposure to the types of securities listed above to the extent they have economic characteristics similar to such securities.

The portfolio may, consistent with its principal investment strategies, invest up to 25% of its total assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the portfolio organized as a company under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the Subsidiary). The Subsidiary may invest, directly or indirectly through the use of derivatives, in securities, commodities, commodity-related instruments and other investments, primarily futures, swaps and notes. The Subsidiary has the same investment objective as the portfolio and is managed by TAM and sub-advised by the sub-adviser. Investments in the Subsidiary are intended to provide the portfolio with exposure to commodities markets within the limitations of the federal tax requirements that apply to the portfolio. The Subsidiary primarily obtains its commodity exposure by investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments, which may include, but are not limited to, total return swaps, commodity (U.S.

or foreign) futures and commodity-linked notes. The Subsidiary may also invest in other instruments, including fixed-income securities, either as investments or to serve as margin or collateral for its swap positions, and foreign currency transactions (including forward contracts). The portfolio may invest up to 10% 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. The portfolio may invest in privately issued securities, including those that are normally purchased pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
