C000197833 Investment Objective and Strategy
Transamerica International Equity Index VP describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Transamerica Series Trust.
Investment objective
Seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of large- and mid-capitalization developed market equities, excluding the U.S. and Canada.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, the portfolio invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities listed in the MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index (the Index). Under normal circumstances, however, the portfolio intends to invest substantially all of its assets in securities of companies included in the Index (including ADRs and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs)) or in other investments in an effort to create a portfolio of securities with generally the same risk and return characteristics of the Index, including index futures contracts. The Index is designed to represent the performance of approximately 1,000 large and mid-cap securities across 21 developed markets, primarily from Europe, Australia, Asia and the Far East, and covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each of the 21 countries.
The Index, which is constructed and maintained by MSCI Inc., is normally rebalanced and reconstituted each February, May, August and November. The portfolio will concentrate (invest 25% or more of the value of its assets) in the securities of issuers having their principal business activities in the same industry if the Index is also concentrated in such industry. The portfolio is classified as diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940; however, the portfolio may become non-diversified solely as a result of tracking the Index (e.g., changes in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Index). To the extent the portfolio is non-diversified, the portfolio will invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers.
The portfolios sub-adviser, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the sub-adviser), does not sub-advise the portfolio according to traditional methods of active investment management, which involve the buying and selling of securities based upon economic, financial and market analysis and investment judgment. Instead, the sub-adviser utilizes a passive or indexing investment approach, seeking to provide investment results that, before expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of the Index by employing a sampling strategy. The sub-adviser seeks to replicate the returns of the Index by investing in the securities of the Index in approximately their Index weight. However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of those securities in those weightings.
In those circumstances, the portfolio may purchase a sample of stocks in the Index in proportions expected to replicate generally the performance of the Index as a whole. In addition, from time to time, stocks are added to or removed from the Index when the Index is rebalanced and reconstituted. The portfolio may sell stocks that are represented in the Index, or purchase stocks that are not yet represented in the Index, in anticipation of their removal from or addition to the Index. The sub-adviser may at times, but is not required to, purchase or sell futures contracts in lieu of investment directly in the stocks included in the Index. The sub-adviser might do so, for example, in order to increase the portfolios investment exposure pending investment of cash in the stocks comprising the Index.
Alternatively, the sub-adviser might use futures to reduce its investment exposure to the Index in situations where it intends to sell a portion of the stocks in the portfolio but the sale has not yet been completed. The sub-adviser may also, but is not required to, enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in an attempt to match the Indexs currency exposures.
