Transamerica Small Cap Core describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Transamerica Funds.
Investment objective
Seeks long term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The fund normally invests primarily in stocks of companies with small market capitalizations which, in the opinion of the funds sub-adviser, Systematic Financial Management, L.P. (the sub-adviser), present an opportunity for significant increases in value, without consideration for current income. Under normal circumstances, the sub-adviser invests at least 80% of the funds net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies with small market capitalizations (or small-cap companies) and other investments with similar economic characteristics. The sub-adviser considers small-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 2000 Index 1 over time.
On December 31, 2017, the market capitalizations of companies in the Russell 2000 Index ranged from $23 million and $9.4 billion. Over time, the capitalizations of the companies in the Russell 2000 Index will change. As they do, the size of the companies in which the fund invests may change. The fund may invest in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and/or foreign securities trading on U.S. exchanges, which generally stay under 10% of portfolio assets. It will not trade securities on a non-U.S. exchange. The fund may also invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs). Investment in derivatives, futures and swaps are not permitted. Portfolio construction and management are rules-based. Generally, securities are purchased and sold when they meet defined ranking levels. Companies in the portfolio are also sold if they fall outside the general market capitalization range of the Russell 2000 Index.
The portfolio is rebalanced periodically with securities qualifying for purchase or sale added or removed at such time. This process yields a portfolio with exposure to all economic sectors through approximately equally weighted positions in about 250 to 400 companies. 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 fund assets will be invested in cash and cash equivalents. 1 Russell Investment Group is the source and owner of the trademarks, service marks and copyrights related to the Russell indexes.
