Transamerica Strategic High Income describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Transamerica Funds.
Investment objective
Seeks current income while providing long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The funds sub-adviser, Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC (the sub-adviser), deploys an active strategy that normally seeks to invest in a range of securities, including primarily U.S. stocks with market capitalizations in excess of $3 billion, preferred stocks, and income producing fixed income securities. Under normal market conditions, the fund invests in a diversified portfolio of credit and equity securities and may shift its investments from one asset class to another in order to achieve the funds income objective. The sub-adviser employs a strategic approach to asset allocation and uses a bottom-up fundamental investment approach to security selection. The sub-adviser expects to invest the funds portfolio in a mix of common stock, preferred stock and fixed income securities, targeting allocations of 40%, 20% and 40%, respectively for these asset classes.
Depending on market factors, these allocations may range from approximately 20% to approximately 60% for common stock, 0% to approximately 40% for preferred stock and approximately 20% to approximately 60% for fixed income securities. The equity securities in which the fund invests consist primarily of common stocks. Debt securities in which the fund invests include primarily high yield bonds (also known as junk bonds), although the fund may hold other fixed income securities including various fixed, floating and variable rate instruments, secured and unsecured bonds, bonds convertible into common stock, senior floating rate and term loans, debentures, shorter term instruments and closed-end funds. The fund may invest all of its fixed income allocation in securities that are rated below investment grade.
The fund may invest in securities of any maturity and does not have a target average duration. The fund maintains the flexibility to invest in securities of companies from a variety of sectors, but from time to time, based on economic conditions, the fund may have significant investments in particular sectors. The fund may also invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign securities, either directly or through depositary receipts. The fund may also invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
