Flexibility

Plan sponsors may select the potential length of a book value termination period to align with their plan's goals.

High quality

The guaranteed rate is supported by a portfolio of high-quality, fixed income securities.

Liquidity

Participants can withdraw or transfer funds at daily book value regardless of market conditions.

Managed accounts: Portfolios for participants’ specific needs

With Transamerica’s Managed Advice® service, participants can benefit from tools that help ensure proper diversification and regular rebalancing. And our research shows participants have increased their contributions based on the service’s recommendations.

Collective investment trusts (CITs)

Our CITs1, with Transamerica Trust Company (TTC) serving as trustee, enable employers of all sizes to offer these lower-cost, customized funds for employees saving for retirement. CITs generally have lower administrative, marketing, and distribution costs compared to other investment options, making them an attractive option for retirement plans.

The target date funds are offered through the Transamerica Retirement Solutions Collective Trust, for which Transamerica Trust Company (TTC) is the Trustee. Because the investment options available under a collective trust are exempt from SEC registration, a prospectus is not available with respect to such investment options. However, a Disclosure Statement is available for the funds. The current Disclosure Statement contains additional information that should be carefully considered before choosing a fund, including information about each fund’s investment objective, strategies, expenses, performance and risks. The Funds are not insured by the FDIC, Federal Reserve Bank, nor guaranteed by TTC or any affiliate.

Transamerica’s Advice Services includes Managed Advice® and Advisor Managed Advice℠. The Managed Advice® service is available within an employer-sponsored plan or an IRA and is offered through Transamerica Retirement Advisors, LLC (“TRA”), an SEC-registered investment advisor. In a retirement plan, the investment options used in Managed Advice® are selected by your plan sponsor/plan fiduciary. In an IRA, the investment options used in Managed Advice® have been selected by an independent, third-party registered investment advisor, who acts as a fiduciary for lineup selection. The Advisor Managed Advice℠ service is offered through your retirement plan’s third-party registered investment advisor and TRA, and investment options are selected by your plan sponsor/plan fiduciary. TRA does not select or endorse any of the investment options available in a plan or in an IRA. Investment options may include Transamerica proprietary investment funds or stable value products offered by Transamerica affiliates. Transamerica Retirement Solutions and TRA are affiliated companies. Morningstar Investment Management, LLC®, a wholly owned subsidiary of Morningstar Inc., is an SEC-registered investment advisor that serves as an independent financial expert and provides the underlying investment advice and portfolio management methodology for Advice Services. Neither Morningstar nor your plan’s third-party registered investment adviser (as applicable) is affiliated with any Transamerica companies. Please see the Advice Services agreement as applicable for more information on the terms and conditions that apply as well as the information provided to you in Form ADV Part 2A. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate with market conditions and you may lose money.

Collective investment trusts (CITs) are not insured by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Bank, or any other government agency and are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Since the investment options available under a collective trust are exempt from SEC registration, a prospectus is not available with respect to such investment options.
